Allis Chalmers 416 Garden Tractor with Composter Attachment | Walk Around and Testing 

Hey I hope you enjoy this video! This Allis 416 with composter is an interesting machine! I've never seen one before, let me know if you have down below!

i have one !.. Kohler 588cc K341 is all I need to be happy !

Long time viewer. You need to mover your channel to the Rumble platform.

Great tool man, I like seeing the weird old stuff being saved. I would recommend a pokie stick like you did for the leaves. Great stuff

When I first saw that I thought that would seriously be the coolest attachment and I need my own, then after I saw it get used, it seemed a little disappointing to say the least. Oh well. Thanks for showing it off!

Cool old tractor and as always Norm, a great video but seriously?? The shredder is not only a trip to the emergency room waiting to happen but the average lawn mower with mulching blades and a chute dam will turn leaves into dust while your mowing the lawn ... no extra work trying to coax leaves into a tiny hand remover ... lol

A couple of passes with a walk behind mower would take care of those leaves. No bending over a million times.

I have a small wood/small tree branch chipper, it's not worth the effort or the money I paid for it. The one thing it's really good at is yard leaves; I would mow the grass and leaves into a three bag bagger with three plastic containers, not the open mesh type although you could use the mesh type. The chipper has a adjustable feeder chute that will lay flat on the ground so you can rake leaves into it. Trying to rake leaves into it is almost impossible but it will pull/suck them it eventually, again not worth the effort. The solution is using the bagger to do a ruff first cut then dump the bagged leaves in front of the chipper chute and shove them in with a shovel or a small rake. I would attach the chipper bag to the exit chute to collect the chiped leaves and place the fine chiped leaves in my garden. The leaves were chiped so small that they would practically decompose by spring time.

Watching this made me want to try the belly blower I have for the Powermax. It’s too bad we aren’t neighbors. 🤠

I eventually want to get one of these little tractors but the only set back is that it doesn't have the ability to lift the fenders like other allis and simplicity garden tractors

Pretty cool!

Nice to see 45 year old technology still working.

My name is Chris and was curious to know if you have ever done any videos on the 800 series Gravely Garden Tractor at all yet, if not I would like to see video either 1 being restored or just showing how it operates.

I've used plenty of these types of mulchers over the years and have found that the smoother the metal is on the intake side, the better the material is drawn in. I use car wax in the chute area to make it as slick as possible. The AC composter in your video was painfully slow. Cool unit though.

I wonder if you could use a vac to pull the leaves up and blow them into the composter 🤔

why does the tractor look like a 600lb tractor and yet it weighs 850lbs?.. where is the steel hiding ?

Its like a tractor mounted garbage disposal.

That may work great for shredding stew hay for bedding for livestock!

Nice Tractor, thanks for the video.

MacKissic made a rear mount chipper shredder for that style tractor (IH had them make one for them as well) Those are versions of the 59M and 79M and they will eat most anything.

I can do the same thing with the mower deck

It seems like you are missing something. This setup does not allow for a vacuum to be pulled. Maybe a design flaw from the time. I have a 71 314D that I have been enjoying with the help of your parts. Please tell me where I can get a fuel tank like that.

I didn’t know they made such a thing. Thanks for sharing my friend.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

I love that Allis Chalmers and that composter I'm more of a Sears guy but I would not mind having one someday.

Was really hoping it would of done better with garden waste. But I guess that's what a brush hog and tiller is for. Sure works good for leaves though.

Nice tractor! I just recently got an Allis Chalmers 412H with a mower deck and a snow blade

Hey Norman. Already did leaves 3 times here in Michigan. We don't compost though. Blow the flower beds out, mow/mulch, sweep then burn them. Probably 2 more times this year. Nice AC but would be nice to be able to have a FEL on it.

I've been waiting for this video for like 2 years. I'll be ordering parts for mine soon.

I believe that the blades need sharpened

Great looking tractor! Love Allis Chalmer tractors!

The engine sounds strong. The carb seems like it could use some attention. Cool old tractor. Great video.

Tractor A+, Composter F.

Cool but I will continue to use the mower on my leaves .

I use my mower to blow all my leaves into my neighbor's yard. Then they use their mower to blow them back into my yard.

I could use one of those. Looks like it works great on small stuff.

Hi Norman, I finally placed an order with you lol. Just a plug and a awesome beanie for now. More orders coming soon! But Question : 😂. So my lgt 165 has the 3 point mounting capability. But, on old tractors they have the pto or opening to slide the say..... Implement shaft inside. My lgt doesn't have that part. Does that mean it's only meant for implements that don't need to spin? Just dragging implements? Sorry, I'm new to this stuff.

Smoother slicker sides and blades with wing's like a lawnmower would work to create vacuum effect to help pull the leaves down. Still very cool and chops them up into a great mulch. Just needs a little help to feed better.

That composter was made by Mackissick for A/C I do believe.

Hey Norman.looking for a 10hp k241 pull start re-coil.imtired of wrapping the string around and pulling it..can you help me .is there a kit??thx

I didn’t think you were an A/C fan!

I loved this video along with the rest of your videos. I followed your loader build and built one for my case 442 hydraulic drive tractor awhile back. I had a quick question though if you have time. I am having trouble with steering ability. The tractor is very hard to steer. I since gutted the old gear on gear steering and upgraded to a ross steering with thrust washer mod. It did help but not to the point I was expecting. Have you had similar issues with front end weight making steering troublesome? Would a large amount of counter weight on the rear help enough to make steering efficient again? Any input would be much appreciated.

cool never saw one of those composting attachment will you be making onan performer 18 rebuild kits our skid loader needs rebuilt it drinks oil and has low compression from years of use we use it to clean out manure and we gp through lots of oil thanks again Norman love the videos keep em coming

would love to see you build/ fabricate your own towable forkift for your lawn tractors with a fork lift boom but rest made by hand with winch or hydraulic lifting and winch to tilt the boom back, Thanks for the great videos keep up the great work!

I’ve been looking forward to this one Norman

My Lock has been with me I’m getting an old 80s toro tiller free and an old simplicity mower for free so that’ll be fun this Saturday

I have a mid 80s stand alone mulched with a tecumseh 5hp. I want to ditch the engine and install it on my Ford 120 or my Sears suburban 12. Any ideas for a mule

there is a craftsman gt6000 hydro for 45 dollars on an online auction that i bought from before should i bid on it i heard you in the last video tal;king about them they are ok or cheap it looks nice and it has a 46inch deck

Is this the tractor that was for sale in Maine few weeks ago? I saw it on Craigslist and considered buying it.

You should look up a macsic shreader for early Simplicity/Allis Chalmers tractors. Was planning on firing it up but I'm working weekends and the october engine show was canceled this year so I never dug out the vacuum unit or shredder but is still on my mind🤔

Nice tractor but the compactor is too slow get mulching blades and mulch and spread in one pass but you do have my attention on the B 110 you talked about in your last video that was my first tractor and I made the mistake of selling it yes I save the tractors

Definitly not as fast as just mowing over your leaves. Seemed like it shined most on the corn stalks. Thanks for sharing! +1 Sub.

Do you carry any parts for Nolens heavy frame tractors?

The drivetrain looks like my 97 sovereign

This is cool, but my mower deck with turbo blower chops em up almost as fine and bags em

It's a cool attachment, but I think a track vac or a whatever they call the generic brand would be a little easier to make compost and take it to where you want it and dump it, but it's still cool!

Just need to be sharpened up then it will mulch everything

Does the lgt 165 have a oil filter? And when I order my new carb.... Is the carb in the kit with the gaskets ect the same as the carb by itself on your website? And are both carbs aftermarket? And is there a rebuild kit for my original carb? Thanks. I know that's alot, but I need to know before I place my order. I'll call if necessary

Have you ever had a Jacobsen chief, I have 14 of them there tuff as nails

'"This tractor according to tractordata weighs about 850 pounds". Well tractor data must be wrong because it says that a cub cadet 982 weighs 875 pounds! WHAT??? And a a Cub Cadet 982 is a Muuuuuuch larger tractor than that AC 416.

3:06 that’s what she said 😂

I wouldnt even really have a use for something like that and I want it lol

Hey, do you guys sell a spark plug for my lgt 165 on your website?

Do you own any homelites

sorry Norm but that was a fail

I could do the same thing with a pair of scissors

inner tube. cut open and hung from bottom to get it closer to ground. dont get norm made at u hahahhahah
