I like the WD45, It's big enough to make me not look like I'm on a rider mower (6'4" /270 lbs.) I can't wait to see it plowing against the Farmall H's too. It also has a size vs hp rating that seams to work since that engine was used in the D17 era tractor. Most of all it's body style has curves that make that tractor. ------------- Danny Raddatz |

| I think any tractor that isn't blue, green, red, or yellow is the prettiest tractor out there. I'm not talking about Kubotas either, though they aren't bad little units. I think an unstyled WC has a very good look about it. Very simple and clean. |

D17 Series III or IV. Something about that wide cream stripe on the hood along with the styling is so cool. Of course, there are no ugly orange tractors. ------------- '49 A-C WD, '51 A-C WD, '63 A-C D17 Series III, 1968 A-C One-Seventy, '82 A-C 6060, '75 A-C 7040, A-C #3 sickle mower, 2 A-C 701 wagons, '78 Gleaner M2 |

I think they're all beautiful, but the Long-Fender E's have to be one of the prettiest in all makes - Dark Green, Red Wheels, brass, and pinstriped to the hilt. Truly a showpiece on the farms they powered! http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i8/dgwparfitt/images/AllisE_Portage04_1a.jpg |

Bill, I'm with you. Were those pictures from the GOTO in
Union Grove, WI? Off topic, but the tractors parading through the plant in West Allis has to be the best AC experience I have had. Now, if the G engine I am putting back together actually runs, that may take over as the No. 1 experience. Bob@allisdowneast |

| I like the 200's grill. Its close ribbed mesh screen looks timeless. The D21 with its chrome grill has to rate high as well. But bigger is betted so I will also add the 8070FWA, 8550, and the 4w305. As for me, a 7080 makes me smile. |

I agree with what others have said, the B is by far the prettiest, but for sheer brute force, get the job done style, it's gotta be the D21. That thing just oozes power! ------------- If it seems like a good idea, do it. It's easier to apologise than to get permission. |

| Because I own one, I'm gonna have to say the WD is a very pretty tractor but my vote for the prettiest of all of them, (remember we're talking pretty here) would be the 6080 two wheel drive with the factory cab. I remember growing up when they come out and thinking that would be a cool tractor to have. Then one day soon after they came out, my dad bought one and I thought we had the world by the tale. We put almost 10000 hours on other than a few clutches in that time we never had too much trouble with it. |

I have to vote for the D 21 !!!! A dueled up 220 looks great. (Wish I could duel up my 21 like Calvins but will not fit through the 12 ft. wide door !!!). ------------- B 10 Custom.

How could anyone argue with any of the posts above (I don't think anyone did) Just shows what a great bunch we have on this site and how we have preferences but respect those of others. Let's hear some more opinions of the prettiest. Bob@allisdowneast

I like the letter series, the D series, the 100 series, the 200 series, the 7000 series and the 8000 series over the rest of them. I just don't want to offend anyone. A person can tell pretty close as to what age you are by the series of tractors you prefer. Right or wrong? ------------- |

Joe you are right about the tractors we prefer and the age we are. I was ten when I saw my first new D-14 and spent all my teenage years in the mid 60's. I still think the "D" series are the coolest and the D-21 the meanist. I have them all in the shed (actually 10 D's and a H-3 which is really a D-15 crawler)! I remember hearing our dealer who was a personl family friend telling my Dad that the D-17 (fall of 1957) that A-C had sent to his dealership was too big for this area and was really a western tractor. Man was he wrong on that one. When he retired in '74 he was selling 200's. ------------- Nothing is impossible if it is properly financed |

Early (1938-40) styled WC with the stamped steel rear wheels and angled side exhaust. They are just simple, clean, and purposeful looking, with a style that was still not really dated when the D-series tractors came out in the late 50s. Honorable mention would be the bigger 7000 series tractors with an open station and duals! ------------- HANSEN'S OLD ORANGE IRON. Showing, Pulling, & Going!! |
