Antique Allis Chalmers Tractor: AC Styled WC

[Allis Chalmers WC Parts]     [Return to the Shed]

The WC was the first highly successful tractor. During development it was simply called the Model W. When it went public in 1933 it was called the Model W All-Crop and by 1934 had the final name of Model WC. More than 178,000 WC's were purchased by farmers between 1933 and 1948.

  • In the late 50 s when I was 11 or 12 Daddy had a Allis Chalmers CA a WC. After I learned to drive, he would pull a JD 4 disc tiller with the WC and I would pull one with the CA to turn land. When I got a little older I would turn land with the WC while Daddy worked a public job. I remember the WC had hand brakes only, the seat was off center to the right and the tiller had a manual lift so when you turned to the left you would reach back and grab the rope to trip the tiller lift while turning the steering wheel to the left. This would throw you even further to the right away from the left brake handle. You would have to really stretch to reach the brake lever to help with the turn. Quite a struggle for a 13 or 14 year old kid. I thought I was in heaven in 61 when he traded both in on a new JD 2010 with power steering and hydraulic connections so we could use a hydraulic cylinder lift.

  • I have an old AC with steel wheels. Have no idea of the SN, my Uncle s Dad bought it new, I believe, in 1946. He had to ride it from Kansas City to Worland, MO and took him 3 days to get it home. Any suggestions on how to furter identify it. My Uncle, before his death, placed it on a concrete slab that is in my front yard.

  • I have a WC that my father-in-law gave to my husband about 35 years ago. My hubby restored it at the time but it needs to be re-done. He used it extensively before parking it - unfortunately - outside in the weather. Hubby passed away last fall and I would like to sell the tractor. It was running in 2003 when we moved - he drove it down the shoulder of the highway to our new place. Located on the North Shore of Lake Superior in Minnesota.

  • AC's are in my blood line; Grandpa (pronounced Gram Paw in my youth) owned a WD, at least one WC, 2 Bs (one with a sickle bar mower seemingly a permanent fixture and the other alternating cultivators and a 2-man planting platform for tobacco seedling transplanting) and my favorite Model G with the manual quadrant-raised front and rear cultvators. My cousin and I could easily pop wheelies by letting the clutch out quickly. (Please! Do not try this at home!) Our 70-pound physiques could not counter-balance that rear engine and Grandpa didn't employ the optional weight which mounts over the steering gear (I didn't know that part even existed until a couple of years ago when I saw one on a show tractor) What a great view of the row this little tractor offered the driver! It was a nearly perfect cultivator rig and many local owners considered it a must for raising tobacco. I think that's why so few have the plows or other available attachments. Sadly, most of the tractors were destroyed in an arson barn fire around 1970.

  • My father bought his first tractor, a WC, in 1936. My mother said I took my first step the day dad brought home the new tractor. My dad farmed all his life with what was intended as a temporary barn. When he bought the WC his father said, "You won't be needing so many horses now, so you don't need a fancy barn either." I started driving the WC before I was strong enough to start it with the hand crank. I was a tall, skinny kid and could just barely reach the clutch. I remember the hand brake handles had been welded several times, because occasionally when dad turned around at the end of the field he would jerk back on the hand brake with enough force that the handle would break off. I know it originally came with steel wheels, but he soon put on rubber tires. We used to pull an old steel wheel behind the tractor to smooth out the gravel in the driveway. When dad bought a brand new WD, I thought it was the finest piece of machinery ever invented. I loved to drive it, but cultivating corn was a nightmarish experience. I could never say awake on those hot june days. When I went away to college, dad bought a manure scoop for the front of the WD.

  • I am looking for my Dads' 1936 Unstyled WC Allis-Chalmers tractor. The Serial Number is AC 29799. My Dad bought this tractor 6 weeks before I was born and I later drove and worked this AC on our farm. I have the original paperwork when my Dad purchased the AC in 1937 in Sudan, TX. The last known whereabouts of this AC was in Clovis, New Mexico in 1958. PLEASE HELP me find this tractor. Thank-you, Coke Royal

  • The AC line was the 'average' or very modest farmers tractor; it served the purpose very well for working-small farmer in the 1930's to the 1960'! A wonder era in Agriculture!

    Robert wrote on Wednesday, April 11, 2001 (PDT):
  • Boy did I goof. I read the post by Patrick and thought of the "S" relating to being a standard tread of a WC since other makers use that designation at times for their various models. That was the first thing to cross my mind and it didn't register with me that I was talking about a WF when I posted that comment. My apologies to those that may have been mislead by that comment.
    BARB & RICH wrote on Saturday, March 31, 2001 (PST):
  • We also have purchased an orange wc. Year 1944 with fabricated stamp steel rear housing; it also has a pulley with lever shift. Is this something by Allis or another company? "S" on end of serial # probably stands for steel (not cast).

    Robert wrote on Wednesday, March 21, 2001 (PST):
  • Patrick, the "S" you refer to in the serial number is most likely for standard tread version. Most WC tractors were set for row crop applications. That would be my guess as to what the S is for.

  • I recently purchased an old 1944 Allis Chalmers WC. I found it in a farmers barn and it hadn't been running in a couple of years. He told me it was a WD. After finding the serial number on the rear pumpkin I found it was a WC. It still runs but needs a little TLC. One rear rim is smaller than the other. It needs a new exhaust stack, but it runs fine. For 250.00 I think I found a great deal. I don't know what the letter "S" stamped after the serial number means. If anyone knows the answer please let me know. Thanks

    Robert wrote on Wednesday, August 23, 2000 (PDT):
  • Hope this helps out for all of the posts asking about the location of the serial number for the WC. It is on the rear of the rear end housing. It should be "WC" followed by the serial number. It is genarally not too difficult to find the location of the serial numbers. There is a smooth place on the rear end housing where the numbers were stamped. I take a wire brush with me when I am looking at one to buy so I can brush the rust off of the number to make it easier to read. Then wetting it down with a litle bit of water to wash off the dust created by the wire brush makes the numbers easier to read.
