The photograph was taken in Wichita KS in 2014. Those headlight "eyes" and of course the orange paint say AC to me. I wasn't an AC aficionado back then just thought it was an interesting old tractor. There were several pieces of vintage equipment there as can be seen in the background such as the old crane.

Them old straight frame loaders are quite a machine to operate . I had a Pettybone loader with a 3-71 Detroit - 2 yard bucket Thing would pick up a load well and had a 4 speed trany and fwd/reverse shuttle and Allison torque converter along with a single disc 14" clutch . Would not track in same tracks going fwd and back when loading to road the machine you needed to go in reverse with steer axle on end you were traveling in or it wandered all over . Did about 20/25 MPH and brakes only on straight axle -and loader frame had to be down to enter or exit machine
