I noticed early on that a lot of Dad's friends and customers had AC 60 ALL CROP COMBINES. Everything else these farmers had was mostly IH but they liked those combines. Once in a while they replaced the Farmall M that most of them pulled the combine with a WD or WD-45. I wondered what is deal as M heavier and more power, why buy another tractor to pull the combine. Matching paint ? I asked Dad and he grinned and said watch them going thru field with Allis in heavy crop. So I did and noticed the tractor would stop when they pulled the lever and combine would keep running. So a live P.T.O. which the Farmall did not have was the big plus !
I told Dad I see the reason. He said yes but I need to remember to tell those guys with M's about the new add on M&W CLUTCH that I can install and will do the same thing as the AC clutch.
No one that I remember got rid of their AC Tractors after they had them as they were handy nimble tractor as I found out.
Some did get different color combines as larger straight thru design machines became available.
Most kept their AC 60'S as backup and to run clover seed and other grass seed, however.
