Looks like someone replaced the 201 with a smaller engine. Would Alice do something like that ? Gary |

Ya know, the fact that its a survivor shows just how damn tuff AC products are. Even if someone abuses them, leaves them outside, someone is going to love them. Give them new life, breath some fresh air into them, and another 50 years will go by...and hopefully the cycle continues. ------------- 1968 B-208, 1976 720 (2 of them)Danco brush hog, single bottom plow,52" snow thrower, belly mower,rear tine tiller, rear blade, front blade, 57"sickle bar,1983 917 hydro, 1968 7hp sno-bee, 1968 190XTD |

I'm sure it's an RC, a lot more rare, I think only about 5500 were built. ------------- "If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer" Allis Express participant |

Yes, its an RC. That was the point of the Surprise, surprise.....I was told it was a WC and offered and paid accordingly...then they sent me a pic, after I bought it. Serial 37x. Its wrapped up because the exhaust manifold is rusted through. Not stuck, and ran 2 years ago.Its my 3rd RC. Now have one in PO2, yellow, and this red and cream one, but since one of them (not this one) has donated a rear, I think I'll part the rest of it out. ------------- If ignorance is bliss, than happy days are here again. |

Looks more like you bought some tow hooks. The tractor is just there to hold them up. Great little find. ------------- 2-8070FWA PS/8050PS/7080/7045PS/200/D15-II/2-WD45/WD/3-WC/UC/C |
