I see an Allis 180 for sale that I will stop to see. Anything special to look for in this model? Any ideas on value (appears to be in good used shape, work clothes. I don"t know if it gas or diesel. Any particular problems with this model?

I reviewed the archives and found some information.

Thank in advance,

Bill

I suggest that you check the bearings on the crank. My experience has been that after 3000 hours they should be checked carefully. This is based on my 6080 that has the 4 cylinder version of the 180 motor. This was advice from a good experienced AC dealer. QR

The reason the 200 cubic inch motor had problems with the thrust bearings was because the 6080 had a double clutch and when both the pto and the drive clutch were disengaged that would put double the pressure of a single clutch against the crank, which on the older modles without the updated external thrust bearing, would be enough pressure on those bearings to wear them out quickly. The biggest thing to make sure of on these engines are to make sure the tractor doesn't jump out of any gears when decellerating down hill. Also, make sure the powerdirector doesn't slip, jump out, or have a lot of drag when warmed up in the neutral position. Also, make sure that the motor runs alright. If it starts to die after a little while, then it may be time for an injector rebuild. The 180 is a good tractor and was reliable most of the time. As long as it was maintained well and not abused, it will be a good tractor for you for quite a while. Also, the 301 motors are hard to start at anything below 50 degrees without the M&W rebuild kit with the different shaped rings.

Thanks for the knowledge. Makes sense. Will be careful of the 6080. It does not start well when cold. A block heater makes all the difference. This is a 1985 build. QR

Bill;

I would run a 180 diesel for a neighbor sometimes. Seemed to be a good tractor.
