Allis-Chalmers went all out in 1957 to start a total refresh of their tractor lineup. The first to appear in the new line was the D-14. You could call it a light-middleweight tractor, big enough to be the main tractor on a small farm and small enough to be a utility tractor on a large farm. It made 34 belt horsepower from a 149 cubic inch four-cylinder gas (or LPG) engine. It was part of a newly designed engine family for A-C, but no diesel was available for the D-14 at that time so we move on.
A-C DIESELS HIT THE DIRT
More relevant to Diesel World readers was the 1960 D-15, which was an evolution of the D-14. Besides some styling and color scheme changes, the big news was the availability of a 175 cubic inch, four-cylinder diesel. It was called a “3-plow” tractor, which was a very subjective advertising way of describing drawbar power. Following shortly after the D14 had been the D-17, six-cylinder tractor, which did have an NA diesel option, and you could call the D-15 the D-17’s little brother.

Allison Williams
When it comes to dolls, you either love them, think they're creepy or are indifferent. Fortunately for Allison Williams, she falls into the latter category. "I don't have a deep-seated doll aversion." Which makes her the perfect person to star in a film like M3GAN (January 6), about a realistic robot doll that is supposed to be a child's best friend, but turns out to be everybody's worst enemy.
