AC 410 Garden Tractor - 2009/05/16 00:45
Hi all: Just found this site and registered. I am Pastor of a small church in the Parry Sound area of Ontario. Fifteen years ago I bought an Allis Chalmers 410 Garden Tractor. It had been recoditioned by a dealer in St. Thomas, Ontario. Last year I rebuilt the 10 HP Motor.
That's the only money I've put into it since I purchased it but I have used it for a lot of hours. What impresses me about it is the all steel construction and the fact that it has a power take off!
It also has a very rugged four speed gear box which gives it fantastic pulling power. I can pull my 16 foot
fibreglass launch with it, or a trailer with a face cord of wood...no problem. Put it in low and it chugs up a sixty percent grade. I could walk faster, but it's more fun riding!
Anyway I believe it has reached antique status, and I plan to start showing it. I want to repaint and replace the logos and all the rest of the detail that goes with such a restoration job. I have not seen another one like this anywhere and I wonder how popular a model it was, when it was made etc.
Thanks
