A prime example of that is the 180 allis.

Traditionally the 180 is a hard tractor to balance properly. It is disproportionate as far as a heavy front end and a lite weight rear end. Unlike a IH of the same era they tend to be lighter up front. All I’m saying is the fulcrum is different on the allis.

So any ideas on how to correct this on a allis 180, any advice other than trial an error ? Thanks

The 180s are so hard to balance why so many of them pulling? Especially Is the late 70s and early 80 that won a lot?

Most LLSS tractors that I have seen have trouble getting enough weight front end at 6250. I wish mine was noise heavy.

A 180 ALLIS HOOKS BETTER THAN ANY OUT THERE IF YOU CAN KEEP THE WD45 REAR TOGETHER

The fulcrum is further back this making it harder to consistently carry the front on different tracks. I’ve had a 2 charger 180 LSS for a long time. I have several journals to prove my point dating back to 1980.

2800# to 3200# on the front depending on hitch height and track conditions. Some pullers will run a lower hitch on a good biting track to keep the front end down and also to put less stress on the rear-end so it won't cause breakage.

3 feet William must pull on sand tracks all the time !! I'm thankful for the extra length when tipping the final drives back one hole.
