@@AUSSIETRAINDRIVER I used to haul drilling mud in the rocky mountains. You never wanted to get behind a Detroit 2 stroke. The running joke was 'You have to downshift a Detroit 3 gears before you even got to the bottom of a hill.' Cat holds on way better in the hills.
It is a straight six! A 6-71,see the blower(supercharger) on the right side. Heard dozens of these back in the day at 2400 rpm's but this one...WOW just when you think he has it wound tight he gets another 200 rpms.....Then does it one more time. I wonder how long a D.D. two stroker holds together at 3,000...or 3,200. I used to rebuild these back in the day. Still love the sound...will till they shovel dirt on my A$$.
Chamberlain is a now defunct Australian brand of tractor. Heavily based on US technology. GM 2 stroke diesel engine, grille looks like an IH W9 and the orange paint is similar to an Allis-Chalmers. Chamberlain later became Chamberlain Deere (John Deere owned) before closing in the 1980s.
idk what it is but it certainly isnt a 8v71. its an inline motor. the big oliver and massey ferguson came with a 3-71 looks like this chamberlin has a 6-71? i cant tell. but the super charger hanging off the side is a dead give away that its not a detriot v8 not to mention there aren't two banks of cylinders coming out the sides. After a little digging this tractor would have come equipped with a 3-71 which makes sense since this is basically a copy of the oliver and MF. looks like this one is lengthened for the six cylinder it has in it
The Chamberlain is not a basic copy of either tractor. The Chamberlain Super 70 came out in 1954 (I have one), and before it was the 60DA (same engine, but lower governed engine speed). The 60DA was the first Chamberlain fitted with the GM 3-71. Before that, the same basic tractor was fitted with a 2 cylinder horizontally opposed kerosine engine of Chamberlain's own design and manufacture. These were designed just prior to WW2. From what information I have seen so far, the Oliver and MF were from 1958 or later. The tractor in this clip has been lengthened to take a GM 6-71. None of the Chamberlains were ever factory fitted with a GM bigger than a 3-71.
@@flyingscrapyard Any idea if this is strictly a tractor pulling tractor, or was it actually used for field work in this configuration? Allowing a pulling tractor to run duals is mighty unusual in my neck of the woods.
@@cdjhyoung these were supplied from the factory with duals, though later examples had wide singles (23.1x26). Mine had duals originally but the outers were removed for utility work. The tractor in the clip is based on a standard model but has been lengthened to accommodate the extra 3 cylinders.
