Allis-Chalmers was a prominent American manufacturer of machinery for various industries, operating from 1901 through the late 20th century. Headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the company was best known for its agricultural equipment, particularly its iconic orange farm tractors.
Beyond agriculture, Allis-Chalmers produced construction machinery, power generation equipment, and lawn and garden tractors.
