Does anyone have pictures or sales fliers that would show if Allis Chalmers built and sold horse drawn discs? I have started to restore a disc that has specks of orange paint in the rust. The searches I have done on different horse drawn discs does not bring up the exact design. They all have similar design because it is needed to work. I was not able to find an Allis Chalmers horse drawn disc. This one is all there and I can restore it back except for the scraper mounting bracket/frame that is gone. I watching all the youtube videos with horses disking I could find many of the discs do not have scrapers. I do know that many of the companies from that period are long gone and this disc could very well be from one of them.

Remember that AC didn't start using orange until after the horse drawn era was over. I don't remember the date but it was for the model U I think around 1930. But not sure of that, would have to look it up. I know some farms were still using horses then but I don't think much horse drawn equipment would have been made. It would have been available from used from farms that had bigger equipment for their new gas powered tractors I think.
^DI think I have an AC #1 one horse plow down in my old storage barn, I will check it out tomorrow if I get around to it,
But of course if it is an AC, the paint color would be long gone,
If I remember AC tractors were originally green in color,
an company executive was traveling by train in the west central plains, the wheat was ripening, he was impressed by the color of the wheat,
He was the one responsible for the color change to the orange color, really do not know if that story is true, but something caused them to change colors,

you are probably right, I just remember reading the story,
was some crop that was about the color he wanted.
good to know I am not the only one who read this old stuff.
also read that henry ford could not call his tractor a ford at first as someone else copyrighted the name ford tractor so he called it a fordson.
that henry and harry Ferguson had the rights to the 3 pt hitch so AC and farmall had to go another way on their lift system
where was john deere on this, did they just not have a 3 pt point on their tractors until the patent time period ran out?
