Anyone tell me about this?

I saw this on my way home from Philly today...
It was covered by a tarp when I drove by it and thought it was a cub.

where do you put your feet? It looks very powerful... may even give a cub a struggle with the chains on ...

B-210

10 HP with Vari-Shift Transmission

Compare! You won't find more tractor for the money . . . anywhere! Vari-Shift transmission coupled with the brawny 10-hp Briggs & Stratton engine, gives you work-power enough to tackle just about any yard job you can name. Wintertime? Hook up a 36-inch snow thrower and send a ton of snow a minute flying as far as 60 feet in any desired direction. In summer, mount up the big 42-inch rotary mower and cut up to 2½ acres of lawn per hour. Versatility! Features! Power and stamina! This Allis-Chalmers has it all . . . at a price that's tough to beat.

To an Allis Chalmers guru-These models are commonly referred to as FDT's or Foot Dragging Tractors. Obviously its really easy to let your foot slide along the ground, but if the mowing deck is on, its not a problem as you can rest your foot on it. BUT there are foor rests (just very hard to see in the original post) but they are flush with the bottom of the frame directly below the "210" decal.

Here is a better angle so you can see the foot rest. This is one I had for about 5 years and just sold last month. Didnt ever use it. Good running unit though. Went through my collection and decided if I hadnt been on it in over a year, or if its not in a shed, its going on Craigslist and away she went along with 6 others.

thats a BEAUTIFUL allis! i would love to have one. they will give a any garden tractor of the day a run for their money.

i'm not knocking them to bad, but the 716 i just got is run by belts and a tiny rearend. IMHO, i believe my cubs are built better. when i get it rebuilt, i think i will have a "pull" off between my 1200 and the AC 716, along with a video!!!!! jeff

these allis chalmers are shaft driven just like cubs. the 716 allis chalmers is the smaller lawn tractor version kinda like the cub 1100 or 582special
