Allis Chalmers model 65 Motor Grader

Does anyone know how long this machine is? The trucker needs to know in order to pick it up and bring it to me! THANKS

I found a press release that shows 11,000 pounds and 59 horsepower, other than that I can find no specifications or info of any kind. I've seen this model all over the place and I'm surprised I can't find any information on it!

10,918 lbs and 63 HP, actually,if its a diesel, per Norm Swinford's book. I have a DD, its predecessor and hauled it on an 18' rollback, backwards, with the blade down, and the front wheels a danglin, but the cops were not as tough, pre 9/11/01, when I bought it.

The pickup location in Texas finally dries out and the trucker got it delivered! SURPRISE, It moves and mostly works!

Well good to see you got it. Get it in some dirt now and shine the blade up.

Looks like its got the G226 engine, same as a D-17, one seventy, 170, and 175 farm tractor. It is a rare unit, if the gas engine is the original one, with only 180 of this model having the gas engine. Good find...:notworthy
