Allis-Chalmers of Essendine, Stamford is an American manufacturing company
- 1914 Machinery manufacturers. Specialities: mining, milling and smelting equipment, engines, cement-making machinery, rock-crushing plants, flour mill, saw mill and electrical machinery. Employees 16,000. [1]
- 1947 Opened a factory in the United Kingdom. The first tractor manufactured in the United Kingdom was the Model B which was made at Totton, Southampton, using components imported from the United States. Later the Model B was produced entirely in the United Kingdom.
- 1955 Introduced the Model D270. The D270 and later models featured live power take off operated by a hand lever. This was especially useful when using another Allis-Chalmers' machine - the Roto-Baler - which was used for making hay bales. The live power take off reduced by half the amount of clutch pedal movements required to make each bale.
- The ED-40 tractor, built from 1960 to 1968, ended Allis-Chalmers' British production. This tractor featured a 37 HP diesel engine originally and later a 41 HP engine with a better hydraulic system.
- 1953 Became private company.
- 1961 Manufacturers of tractors, combine harvesters and agricultural machinery. 400 employees.
- 1968 New combine harvester with a Perkins engine shown at the Smithfield Show
