The first Farmall tractor with a direct-start diesel was the model 350, which appeared in 1956. The 350 could also be ordered with a gasoline or LP-gas engine. The 350's direct-start diesel engine was built by Continental Motors. IH subsequently developed their own line of new direct-start diesel engines for the 460 and 560 tractors starting in ...
This is a list of internal combustion engines produced by the former Allis-Chalmers Corporation Engine Division for use in their lines of tractors, combine harvesters, other agricultural equipment, engine-generators, and other industrial plant.

These tractors featured three-point hitches, power steering and diesel engine options. Low-compression fuel options for kerosene and distillate were dropped. [1] [2] Most of the D-series tractors, except for the D21, had hand-operated, shift-on-the-go oil clutches, commonly referred to as a hand clutch. Allis-Chalmers marketed this arrangement ...
The flame-start system is a cold start aid for starting diesel engines at low ambient temperatures. It reduces the white smoke emission after the engine is started. In addition, it reduces the strain on the starter motor and batteries by shortening the start-up time. [1]

In 1955 they made a few changes to larger engine bearings and the final drive and introduced the model GB Diesel.
An electric starter with sufficient power to turn a large diesel engine would itself be so large as to be impractical so there is a need for an alternative system. An air start system has three main components along with various safety components, namely the air start injector, the distributor and the air receivers.
In the 1970s about 700 "Track Marshall" tractors were imported into Australia and fitted with dozer blades. These machines were powered by a 4-cylinder Perkins diesel engine and were considered very reliable in their time. They steered through an unusual wet band brake system through a differential gear system. This is known as a 'controlled ...
