ENGINE DETAIL 1

The Allis Chalmers D19 features a robust 262ci (4.3L) gasoline 6-cylinder engine, delivering 85hp at a rated RPM of 2000, ideal for farm tasks requiring moderate power while maintaining efficiency. Its dry air cleaner with a precleaner enhances airflow and filtration, supporting optimal engine performance, although it may demand more maintenance than oil-bath alternatives. With an 8.0:1 compression ratio, the D19 strikes a balance between power and reliability, suitable for a variety of agricultural applications, but it may struggle in high-altitude conditions where oxygen levels are lower.
