Allis-Chalmers ONE-SIXTY (160) – compact 100 series from Milwaukee (1970–1975): water-cooled three-cylinder diesel with 2,502 cm³ displacement, 30.2 kW/41 hp and 155 Nm torque
Allis-Chalmers was an American farm machinery manufacturer based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; the brand is now part of the AGCO group. The ONE-SIXTY (160) belongs to the compact 100 series, built from 1970 to 1975. The 100 series replaced older compact ranges at Allis-Chalmers, adopting a water-cooled three-cylinder diesel as a consistent drivetrain concept.

The ONE-SIXTY is powered by a water-cooled three-cylinder diesel engine with 2,502 cm³ displacement, producing 30.2 kW or 41 hp at 2,250 rpm and 155 Nm of torque. The machine is 3,505 mm long, 1,630 mm wide and 1,600 mm high, has a wheelbase of 1,930 mm, weighs 2,595 kg and reaches 25 km/h.
At 25 km/h, the ONE-SIXTY falls into driving licence category L. The 100 series occupied Allis-Chalmers' compact three-cylinder class for smaller and medium-sized farms, below the brand's larger four- and six-cylinder ranges. A torque of 155 Nm at moderate engine speed provided sufficient pulling power for front loaders and light tillage implements, without the machine being designed for the heaviest ploughing work.
On these three-cylinder diesels, check the injection pump and clutch, the tightness of the hydraulics, and the sheet metal and mudguards for corrosion; since Allis-Chalmers no longer exists as an independent brand, parts come from third-party suppliers and dealers specialising in the marque. On a used ONE-SIXTY, the PTO clutch and the rear hydraulic connections also deserve close inspection, since they are the first to wear under intensive use.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Check front and rear tyre sizes: mismatched pairs strain the drivetrain.
- Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
