 Topic: Yellow AC 7000's?
Posted: 26 Jan 2017 at 3:41pm |

Were there ever any Yellow Industrial AC 7000 series produced? Or painted yellow for the Road Department's/ Construction Contractors? I know they made the AC 190 Beach master painted yellow, same as the D21 Industrial, and the yellow T-16 4WD?.

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Allis made any of the 7000 series tractors in an Industrial version. Norm Swinford's AC "bible" never mentioned any and I've never seen one in person or pictures.

I've seen many a 70xx series tractor being used by townships & road commissioners. None of them are painted yellow, but then the AC's bright orange paint stands out quite well for traffic visibility safety. Now that I think about it, I'd say the 70xx series out numbers other color tractor brands for many IL county townships.

The AC Orange paint really does stand out for sure. I was not sure if any AC 7000's were indeed painted yellow, because of the possible difference in state regulations back then for tractors being used by DOT and townships. Were any 210's or 220's ever painted Yellow, or only the D21 and the 190XT Beach master?

never seen any 210/220's as industrials, but the 220 was built for military, only a couple of those built though.
