Allis Chalmers Manual Features & Content Preview
This Intertec Publishing shop manual covers 1990–2000 Deutz-Allis models 6240, 6250, 6260, 6265, and 6275, including protective-frame and Star cab configurations.
The English-language file is a 103-page scanned PDF. It starts with the title/index page; a separate outer cover is not included.
-
Engine repair: Engine removal, cylinder-head service, pistons and cylinders, crankshaft bearings, timing gears, and crankshaft balancer overhaul.
-
Fuel and cooling: Injector testing and overhaul, injection-pump removal and timing, fuel-system bleeding, and cooling air blower service.
-
Clutch and transmission: Tractor splitting, dual-plate clutch repair, synchronized gearbox overhaul, and model-specific Creeper gear and Dual-Split procedures.
-
Axles, brakes, and PTO: Front-drive axle and differential overhaul, mechanical and hydraulic brake repair, and single- or dual-speed PTO service.
-
Steering and hydraulics: Steering fault isolation, pump pressure and flow tests, hydraulic lift troubleshooting, control-linkage adjustments, and auxiliary valve overhaul.
-
Electrical service: Bosch alternator, regulator, and starter motor repair, with component tests for shorts, grounds, and open circuits.
Suited to mechanics experienced in tractor overhaul who have access to splitting stands, pullers, measuring equipment, and hydraulic test instruments.
Engine Repair and Diesel Fuel System
The air-cooled F3L 912/913 and F4L 912/913 engine sections cover valve train geometry, cylinder-head servicing, and the complete timing gear train. Inspection data includes crankshaft journal dimensions, bearing clearances, piston and cylinder wear limits, and component-specific tightening specifications.
Injector coverage includes opening-pressure, seat-leakage, and spray-pattern tests. Overhaul notes address locating-dowel damage when a carbon-bound nozzle turns with its cap nut. Injection-pump work covers removal, static timing, and speed adjustment. Internal pump and governor overhaul is outside the procedures provided and requires specialist equipment and training.
Clutch, Transmission, and PTO Variants
The dry dual-plate clutch has independently operated travel and PTO plates. Release-lever height adjustment is referred to a dealer with the special clutch service tool.
Separate transmission sections distinguish the 6240–6260 Creeper gear and Dual-Split options from the 6265/6275 gearbox. Cross sections of the Dual-Split/input-shaft assembly and 6265/6275 transmission support the bearing and shim-adjustment procedures.
Lubricant-capacity data distinguishes front-wheel-drive and Creeper gear configurations. PTO chapters cover single-speed 540-rpm and dual-speed 540/1,000-rpm units, including drive shafts, output shafts, and bearing adjustments.
Rear Axle Serial Breaks and Brake Systems
Front-drive axle coverage includes planetary final drives, transfer cases, and differentials with or without limited slip.
The reinforced rear axle applies to late-production 6275 tractors from these serial numbers:
| Configuration | Starting serial number |
|---|---|
| 2WD with protective frame | 77540807 |
| 4WD with protective frame | 77580739 |
| 2WD with Star cab | 77561183 |
| 4WD with Star cab | 77602395 |
These distinctions help match the axle's bearing arrangement and adjustment procedure before planning repair work.
Brake coverage separates the 6240's mechanical drums, 6250's mechanical discs, and 6260's mechanical discs with protective frame or hydraulic discs with Star cab. The 6265/6275 sections cover hydraulic drum brakes, master cylinders, wheel cylinders, and parking brakes.
Power Steering and Hydraulic Lift Diagnosis
Steering-wheel slip and cylinder-leakage tests help distinguish steering-cylinder faults from control-valve leakage. Exploded views identify the ZF and Danfoss steering control valves. Danfoss overhaul is described; ZF work beyond seal replacement is referred to a suitably equipped dealer.
Hydraulic coverage distinguishes single-element and tandem pumps. Lift-system schematics show versions with and without Star cab, including position, draft, and float control; Star cab versions also have combined load-and-depth control.
The repair sections cover lift housing removal, draft pick-up linkage, maximum-height cut-out adjustment, and SD60 / SD80 II auxiliary remote valves. Pump flow-test cautions explain the risk of pump damage when the test arrangement bypasses normal relief-valve protection.
Electrical Tests and Workshop Precautions
Electrical coverage focuses on alternator and starter components, including rectifier diodes, rotor, stator, and brush assemblies. Complete tractor wiring diagrams are not included.
Follow the manual's support and lifting precautions when splitting the tractor or removing the cab.
File Format and Readability
The file contains printed pages 2–104: three title/index pages, three measurement and condensed-service-data pages, and 97 repair pages. All are included in the stated total; there are no separate addenda.
Text search: An existing OCR layer supports searching, with recognition errors in some words and labels.
Navigation: There are 17 page-range bookmarks; eight lack working destinations. The printed index references numbered paragraphs.
Diagram readability: Small labels in the hydraulic lift schematics are readable when enlarged. The scan carries a website watermark.
