Allis Chalmers 185 Review 

The 185 runs on a 301 cubic inch inline six-cylinder engine that doesn’t use up too much fuel and doesn’t need too much looking after.

The 185 has a standard 8-speed manual transmission and a thing called a single-speed PTO. You can also get it with a 10-speed manual transmission and a double-speed PTO if you want.

It also has a thing called a three-point hitch and two places where you can connect stuff that uses hydraulics, so you can connect lots of different tools to it. For a full review, please check this YouTube video.
