[AT] First Allis Chalmers with factory three point hitch?

[Carl Gogol]

Looks like a series iv D-17.  3 point was standard but Snap Coupler was
still available.   
My dad bought one in about 1965. The mechanism that released the lower arms
for hookup to implements is not surpassed by any tractor that  size today.

Harry Ferguson visited Allis Chalmers trying to get them to put his hitch
system on tractors. They took the concept and developed it themselves. Harry
was using a two up and 1 down system then. I am cuprous as to the first
model offered with optional 3 point hitch.


Is this really a D17 with factory 3 point?
