It could be a Oliver they put-together and painted for the brochure.

Why are guys calling it a 2255 prototype? It was 1976; the 2255 was ending production not entering it. I'd call it a 2-180 prototype. Just because the inboard final drives aren't there yet doesn't mean they weren't coming. This appears to me as a 2-180 exercise. All the elements are there but the inboard final drives. This is a 2-180 prototype, not a 2255. It may very well be a 2255 dressed up, but it was dressed up to become the 2-180, not a new 2255. The other Field Bosses were already there and they knew they had a virtual boat anchor in the 2-150. It totally fell on its face in the Nebraska test, seizing up in only 10 hours. It grimly echoed of over-wrung 310's blowing up. They had to get away from that stigma and fast. The 2-150 was gratefully on its way out and the stellar 2-135 and 2-155 coming in, bringing back much of the successful 2050 and 2150 powertrain they had BLINDLY dropped for 1970. All the 2050 and 2150 needed was the updated platform and hydraulics to sit proudly at the top of the 55 Series as the PROPER 2055 and 2155. The 2255 worked out well and just needed to be updated to become the 2-180. All their best older top of the line tractors were going to be under new sheet metal now: the 2050, 2150, and 2255. The MM powered 2055, 2155, 1355, 2270, and 2-150 just should have never been. They were just appeasing the MM brass and maybe faithful to keep that market share but the 585 was just never up to snuff with the Hercules 478. It should have been the PROPER 2055, 2155, and the 2255. Then a MUCH smoother transition to the 2-135, 2-155, and 2-180, which we are seeing happen right here.

How long did it take him to get back to town after that first pull?

There were some details I noticed on the two tractors. If you look the 2-150 and then go back to the supposed 2255, the two have a slightly different exhaust pipe. The air filters are also painted different colors. One is painted silver (2-150), and the other is black (2255).

Good job keeping this classic running!

I just watched a video of a guy touring the tractor collection of the Tractor Doctor in Wisconsin. I saw two White 2255 tractors in the collection. I sure would like to learn the history on those tractors.

How about an Oliver 2465 or 2665 in the early to mid 1970s? In Oliver Green and similar to the MM or White Plainsman.

Excellent Oliver representation

Ah yes. Tractors and beer. My 2 favorite things after the missus. Btw i’m not sure how it works exactly on these machines, but from what i’ve learned, it’s better to build oil pressure by letting it run at low rpm, but not idle. What usually ends up happening is the rockers for the valves won’t get enough oil when idling or cranking because it needs to pick up and throw the oil onto the moving parts. The tractors i’ve owned all had dry sumps, maybe this one works differently… please do correct me if i’m mistaken, i’m always happy to learn

Screamin'Jimmy!!

Great video! I'm not sure why this just showed up on my feed but I'm glad it did! New Subscriber.

Spent many hours in a 210. We jumped are up a bit in hp to 135. We had maroon belly 7080 too. It is a shame Allis Chalmers didn't stay Allis Chalmers. Started with WC...ha WD, D17, and a 185 also.

Nice tractor!

The other 2 eventually caught on🤣

NOW THAT’S AWESOME!

LOVE THE SOUND OF THOSE DETROIT DIESELS!

Closed captioning please please

This is the shit! Real pullin'.

I thought that third pull he was gonna take the sled home with him!

3208 works good in a truck too.

Man, that was fantastic!

Nothing like the sound of a Detroit two stroke in a tractor.

The camera man's comment says it all.

There three white tractor that had a Caterpillar 3208 engines and they were the white 4-210 and the 2-180 and the 4-150 and the 4-225 and the 4-175 that was all of the white farm tractor's that had caterpillar 3208 V8 engines

Called the "Cozy Cab" not the quiet cab. Grew up running out 200 as a do all tractor year around. Protected you from the worst of it. Cabs have come a little ways. Great video, giving that 210 a modern day workout

Fuck’n A’ 💪

Love the sound of that engine. Tweaked the engine up a little. Plow day with FFA ran a 5020 in the dirt. Pulling grain wagons on the road you could learn to shift on the go without grinding gears. The QCS cab...hmmm a little quiet, kept warm , I quess the safe was good, never got hurt in it. ha Put that baby to work..LOL

Most Boys Pullin. Fuckin rights

Very interesting video! I also have the 76 buyers guide and had wondered about the air cleaner behind the muffler.

Probably the 2 -180 prototype

You recorded all this nicely for us, Po "Hello everyone", 🌴🌴🌴 special greetings to your team🌹🌹🌹🌹

Looks like prototype, I do wonder what happens to those rare tractors just like AC 9000 it would made awesome tractor in the field. Interesting MF made combine here in Australia with Australian design thrashing but change there mind to Canadian design, the MF 3342 would had change the way we harvest. For International fans, Australia built 86 but with German engine which different tractor just Chamberlain had JD motor but this tractor was only for Australians. Definitely more brochures vids👍

Unfortunately the engineers that could probably tell you have already passed on. Would be cool to build one but then you have the flip side of ruining a 2255 to do it. Would also be cool to recreate the 2155 prototype with the herc. But you’re in the same boat. Have to kill a 2255 and a 2150 FWA to make it happen.

Tell you what, those ford's are nice tractors.

Are you coming up?!

any crash you walk away from is a good one

That will clear out the mosquitoes!

Would have smell amazing

Curiouser and curiouser 🤔🤔

Check the flasher shape on that tractor....they are square vs round on the 2-150.

That isn't a cab filter that's the cab condenser because they weren't in front of radiator that's an early series cab that is a 2-!80 prototype

Wow! Great eye for detail! I'm surprised someone hasn't recreated one. I've got some company slides I'll have to double check now.

That's not "Hobby Stock", it's a couple of turbo's from being a Super Stock, it did run good though.

Good to see you decided to er! Keep er Movin!

Be happy with what you have! I have a 4320 John Deere, and even I admire some of the features of the 210-20.

Nice tractor! The rear end on these are just about bullet proof compared to a D21. When I was growing I thought the D21 was ugly and resembled an IH too much. The 210 just looks sharp in comparison. But if someone wants to sell me a D21 cheap I wouldn't turn it down. :)

Lol it's funny when you talk about coolant, I run John Deere oil in mine

Allis Chalmers 210, what a magnificent beast!

Not sure why you sound so sad that you have a 210, they're a beast. I have one with 18.4-42 radials, Mexican hat duals 2000# of weights on the front 210 hp, pulls like a freight train. You own an Allis Chalmers 210 man say it loud say it proud!
