I was looking around on the internet and found all of these pictures of these AC tractors in this one movie called At Close Range. Has anybody seen this?
What other movies have you guys seen AC's in?
Pics from the movie.
An AC filled IH dealership.

 AC 5015
 AC 6060

That is weird. I think it's actually an AC dealership with a bogus IH sign fastened on the outside of the building. Look at the top picture. Inside the building through the window you can see that AC compact / lawn tractor on the showroom floor. Then, further down the group of pictures, you can see a close-up of that same compact tractor with the AC parts sign and maybe an AC clock on the wall. Why would the stupid movie producers install a bogus IH sign on the outside on what is actually an AC dealership? Idiots. The movie was made in 1986. |

| yes I remember watching that one night in the 80,s from what i remember it was about stealing tractors and reselling them again,I might be wrong but I think it had a well known actor in it at the time. |

I remember watching a movie a long time ago that had 2 or 3 190xt's working a field as a cover for a nuclear missile site or something on that order. It was set in the 60's and I think the movie was made in the 60's but I can't remember a thing else about it. Does anyone know what movie I might be thinking of? ------------- -- --- .... .- -- -- .- -.. / .-- .- ... / .- / -- ..- .-. -.. . .-. .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .-.. -.. / .-. .- .--. .. ... - Wink I am a Russian Bot |

| Local station just showed "At Close Range" this last weekend. Think it may have had several time slots as the station tends to repeat movies during the weekend. |

Country was filmed near Dunkerton Ia. Back then I worked at a small farm store in Jesup. Kind of unusual for orange in that area. JD's main tractor plant is just a few miles away, N.E. Black Hawk and Buchanan counties were an Oliver stronghold. I always saw lots of both green and IH then. What's kind of interesting is in the scene where they pan through the auction crowd, at least half of the guys were regulars I knew at B&B. The auctioneer was Conrad Doan, a well known auctioneer from the area. ------------- "Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian."

| I love this question. 2 more maybes are the Green Mile and Ferris Buellers Day Off. In the Green Mile while Tom Hanks in talking to Gary Sinise on the porch, out in the grass is what could be a model U and in Ferris Bueller, look outside as the kids are in the garage just before the car goes out the back and down the hill. Is that an AC plow across the way? |

Lonn, I think the movie you are taking about is "The Andromeda Strain", hadn't thought about it until I read your comment. I think it was filmed in New Mexico. Saw it in December 1970 with a new girlfriend. Funny how we remember strange things 40 years ago.

Lonn, after watching the clip I realized the best part of the movie was the AC's in it. I remember getting queasy when they were doing blood work on someone. I'd gotten out of the Army a few months earlier. Strange that I couldn't deal with seeing blood in a movie. Anyway, Becky, the girl I took to the movie and I went parking in my VW bus. She sure could kiss. We're still friends although don't see much of each other. Thanks for reminding me of a more innocent time.
