Were AC tractors not promoted as strongly on the east coast& deep south? I seem to be finding 10-15 green or red tractors for every 1 orange one.I'm talking about the 60's and earler models, some of the implements you folks talk about I've never seen. I would appreciate comments, so I know whether I'm plain wrong,or my observations have some merit. TNX Dee

You might want to read Plow Peddler. I can't remember the author but it was written by one of AC's top sales guys. Great book with a lot of insight into AC. I read it in a couple of days. I can't remember East coast info but he did talk about going to shows.

We used to have a very active Ac dealer close by who was in business from 1938 to about 1983. The country close by was solid orange, there were All Crop combines all over the place. In a couple of AC books I have, they emphasize that AC tried quite hard to supply the Southern guys with the sort of machinery that was needed at that time, like smaller rowcrop equipment. I have friends on the Canadian prairies who had never seen any AC gear until the D-21's came out.

They seem to be most common in the upper midwest (of course AC was based in Milwalkee). They're not too uncommon in the mid-atlantic states. In New England there are only certain localities where you'll find any amount of old AC's - it has to do with where a strong AC dealer was.
