They had Luke R. restore and paint like a demonstrator looked. Story I overheard was a few were painted white, dealer would let farmer use to try out, knowing nobody would want to keep a white one. Not sure how accurate that is.

Wife & I were driving back home to IL on US36 thru Kansas/Missouri today and saw the following AC tractors heading westbound on truck/trailer rigs. Each trailer would usually include one tractor & one golf cart. We assumed most rigs were coming from the Rantoul IL show? Anyway there were 3 AC D21s(two orange & one Industrial yellow), 1 200, 1 8070 mfwd with low rear tire.
