ALLIS CHALMERS T16 POWER
ENGINES OVERVIEW
The Allis Chalmers T16 tractor is equipped with either a 5.6L 4-cylinder diesel or a more robust 7.0L 6-cylinder diesel engine, providing versatility in power output and torque for different agricultural applications. The 6-cylinder option offers improved performance for heavier tasks, while the 4-cylinder may excel in fuel efficiency and ease of maintenance. Key considerations include operational cost versus required power—opt for the 4-cylinder for lighter-duty tasks, or the 6-cylinder for demanding conditions.

ENGINE DETAIL 1
The Allis Chalmers T16 features a robust 5.6L turbocharged diesel engine, delivering 135hp at a rated RPM of 2200 and generating substantial torque of 360 lb-ft at 1650 RPM, making it well-suited for demanding agricultural tasks. Its dry air cleaner system provides durability, but may require more frequent maintenance in dusty conditions compared to wet filters. Additionally, the 24-volt electric starter enhances reliability in cold weather, though it may necessitate a heavier-duty starter system in case of battery failure.

ENGINE DETAIL 2
The Allis Chalmers T16, equipped with a turbocharged 7.0L diesel engine, offers a robust displacement of 426ci, ensuring ample power for demanding agricultural tasks. Transitioning from the original four-cylinder design to the more reliable six-cylinder configuration at serial number 1910 addresses performance issues, promoting enhanced torque output and operational efficiency. Operating at a rated RPM of 2200, this tractor excels in heavy-duty applications, making it suitable for challenging environments but potentially less fuel-efficient compared to smaller engines.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Allis Chalmers T16 tractor, with a 96-inch wheelbase, provides enhanced stability for heavy-duty applications, crucial for tasks involving towing or heavy implements. Weighing 16,300 lbs, its substantial mass allows for better traction, but may pose challenges for transportability and maneuverability in tight spaces. The uniform tire size (20.5x25) supports consistent handling and load distribution, ideal for rugged terrains but may limit versatility in tire options when changing conditions arise.
