I have restored an I-400 and a 615 and am looking for another industrial project.
Is there an Allis 540 wheel loader in Minnesota or Iowa that someone wants to sell???

What paint code of yellow did you use? The oranges are well defined for their use but the yellows aren't.

The original color that we have used for years was Highway yellow, DAR 81985. This color matched the original color of the 1968 HD-3 which we own. This color was also listed in the PPG paint book for AC Industrial products. We can no longer get the DAR 81985 and PPG has advised that their closest match is the Concept DCC 81657. The I-400 is painted with the Concept product. The 615 is painted with the match to the DAR 81985 which is about 4 years old. We have always used the PPG product due to its durability. The I-400 may not be an exact match to the DAR product but it looks better as it appears to be slightly darker. We will continue to use the DCC product due to the fact that i simply prefer the color to the original DAR match. Very expensive, however.
