Allis Chalmers 720 in classifieds

[Itsmechuck]

Hey guys...

Take a look at my 1978 AC720 I just listed in the classifieds.

I bought this tractor new in 1978 and really hate to part with it, but I am old and have downsized and I won't need it any longer.

Thanks.

Those brackets are for a Snow/Front Dozer Blade.  The orange bracket bolts to the sides of the frame with 8 bolts with lock washers.  Then the black bracket is the plow A-Frame.  It pins to the orange bracket.  It's too bad the guy didn't give you the rest of the plow & front lift cylinder.  On the earlier models, the rear lift cylinder hoses had Bruning D202 male ends that connected to two Bruning D201 female quick disconnects located on the side of the tractor.  The same female disconnects that are on your front remote hydraulic lines. This way the rear lift cylinder could be removed & relocated to the front hitch & A-frame to use a front blower or blade in the winter months without purchasing an extra lift cylinder.  The ends could be added to your existing setup by the "new owner" to make that a versatile option.

I'm sure my good friend who is buying it has also verified that info.  I sent him the link to your listing.  Very uncommon for the original battery cover to still be with the tractor.  I must say it will be going to great home & it will be maintained & repaired as needed with the correct OEM parts & is not being purchased to flip to another owner.  You have taken great care of the machine & I'm sorry to see you sell it.

These are very addicting & the rabbit hole is deep.  And the saying one tractor for every attachment gets very expensive.

Tractors in the quality shape that @Itsmechuck is selling, don't come by that often.

I have no idea of what you speak . . . 
 

I shocked the heck out of my wife and sold the 216!! Had a deck & snowblower with it.
And then I replaced the 216 with these . . . 

If I can make the dozer on the 210 fit the 140 (and I'm sure I can), I can sell the 210 and a deck.

Although the D-A is multi-tasking!

 

The wheel is to make the blade into a land-leveling blade.

The blade can be dropped off of this frame (the big bolt and pins underneath) and the ripper put on:
