| I'm not standing next to it, but is that original paint?? Pretty good looking tractor I'd say. Just like the one my Dad had except for the air conditioning. They are a really nice cab even tho not an Acousta cab. The 38 inch rubber gives you a much more acceptable road gear too. |

 Nice! Of all the ones I have, I lean towards the 200 as my favorite. A very nimble machine. |

| Good looking tractor in my book. At my age any tractor I’m going to spend much time on needs a cab with heat and air. Maybe that might mean I need to retire. |

I believe it is original paint. Getting attached to this thing already! Doesn’t show in the video but it has a new seat in it, big plus! This one may just get used on a tractor ride or two. You know those mornings when it’s a bit cool. Or, if I get the air working, those days when it’s sweltry.

| Nice! I can tell by the PTO shield its dual speed. Is it hyd. or manual engage? Year model? Hopefully it's a 74/75 with gated PD control. 2 things I would have to do first: drill rivets out of grill screen, remove screen and clean it up and paint and re-install with brass screws that won't rust. Then straighten muffler and paint with at least 2 coats of some good hi-temp paint. You'll be amazed at how better it will look. Fix the clutch and get the AC working and you will love the old gal. |

| Back in 1975 I made an adapter to be able to install a 5 inch chrome exhaust pipe on Dad's new 200. The large diameter and 48" long (?) tube makes a 301 sound bigger than it really is !!!!! and fills in the large hole in the hood. |

| Thanks guys! Yes, the controls are easy to like, very easy. Serial No. 5706 which Tractor Data shows as a late 73 model. It’s going to move into the shop at some point in the near future. Then I can start fixing on things. Have to move several others around to get it where I want it for the split. |

The muffler has been taken care of. Grill is waiting, trying to get the combine ready to go now. https://youtube.com/shorts/5sum0FcDUfM?si=NnCfBOTYiZR1DkDX" rel="nofollow - https://youtube.com/shorts/5sum0FcDUfM?si=NnCfBOTYiZR1DkDX Edit; I meant to quote KyAllis.

| Where did you find that? It looks really nice. My dad had one very similar to that with 38s and factory air. |

| That's an interesting story. Was getting hoses made at Ziegler Cat, must have had an AC hat on. Builder asked if I'd be interested in an AC tractor. Said possibly. Took a few months but eventually got a deal made. Tractor was near Milo Ia. |

| IBWD Mike, congratulations! Your 200 looks like a very fine addition to your herd. Definitely AC’s premier turboed 301 tractor for its 100 series? It’s OEM paint is still looking good. Maybe a good rubbing compound followed by a wax job would bring out more luster,, or not?? It’s cab’s AC/heat is great too. |

| Thanks! Once harvest is done it will get center stage. I have a great pair of 18.4x38's that could go on. |

Nice new addition. The AC hat does work. My dad always wears his and gets so many conversations from it. Nothing as nice of a lead as that 200. But other leads and lots of good conversations
