This will help the Allis Chalmers 715 Loader Backhoe owners with paint questions.
The first production of the 715 Loader Backhoes were released in late 1973 - the original paint on these machines was National School Bus Yellow both on the tractor , the cab- and the rims - a very common and readily available paint.
The 715 B series backhoes were painted National School Bus Yellow, but the cab, (if equipped) was Black. The specificity of the black color is not noted - appears to be a flat black.
The 715 C (no series reference) saw a return to all National School Bus Yellow for both the Tractor, the cab and the rims.
The 715 D backhoes circa CDS production saw a return to the National School Bus Yellow Paint on the Tractor, and Rims with a Black Cab. This is from seeing one in the field. To the best of my knowledge there was no production literature released for the 715D.
FN: Note Allis Chalmers used a number of yellow paint codes throughout the 60's. Lorain Yellow was a popular yellow on AC Industrial equipment of the 60's. To be sure of your paint color see if you can find a panel and have the paint store scan it. HTH;s ~ Orangeman
