 TC, I don't know of any "official" AC museums in the US. (John Deere has a museum, I believe in Moline, Illinois.) I'm sure there are folks with large AC collections that would be happy to let you see though. Down here in the Florida panhandle, we have a local fellow that owns quite a collection of green tractors. He puts on a show every year and a tractor pull too. Depending on where you live, you might try making one of the "Gathering of the Orange" shows, held in a different state each year. There's a west show and an east show. Unfortunately for us southerners, there's no "south" show. This year the east show is in western New York and I believe next year it'll be at West Allis, Wisconsin or somewhere near there. We made it to the '03 show in Michigan and it was a great gathering of orange tractors. (See photo above.) If you live close to Canada, there's an AC museum in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba that's supposed to be pretty nice, but I haven't been there.
