One has to infer by the tone of this post that the writer is most likely NOT an A_C fan.
First, the Allis Chamlers RC is a rare tractor with only about 5500 sold in 3 yrs. Many of those, if not most of them have been junked or cannibalized.
Second, the RC was meant to be an interim tractor while other models were in developement such as the Model W-BC, Model C and the Model H. Even a rear engine model was being developed. Allis Chalmers elected to go with the Model C which eventually sold over 84,000 tractors from 1940 to 1950. WWII also played a part in the RC's short run. If this tractor could have been made lighter or with a little more horse power it may have continued a little longer. (The old coulda, shoulda, woulda. LOL)
Third, as for 1920's technology, the first working 3-point hitch system didn't came out until about 1933 on a David Brown Tractor. The RC had both the belt driven PTO and the rear shaft PTO which was based on the WC. Over 178,000 WC's were made from 1933 to 1948. Not bad for old technology. I guess the farming community was interested more in reliability then the latest unproven gadget.
