I posted here 7 pages back in regard to this tractor and 2nd tag. Haven't had much feedback at this point. Going to try again!!The IH serial # is FOS 3373 making it a very late model Fairway 12. Think this tractor came from factory as yellow. I don't have any history on the tractor. Previous owner died and tractor sat inside for several years. Had only yellow paint under 2nd tag. This tag is mounted below gear shift lever. After that tag was attached it had another coat of slightly lighter yellow followed with a coat of miltary green. And at some point hand brushed with red. A.C.C. was the entity who apprently 1st received this tractor as 2nd tag shows delivery date of 2-24-38 as a TRACTOR MOWER MFR'S MODEL FAIRWAY 12 Gross Wt 3900# Max Speed 10MPH Anyone have any idea what A.C.C. stands for??? No doubt some government designation. If it was AAC I would say Army Air Corp. The A.C.C. registation # for the tractor is followed by a small stamp or triangle shaped seal with the capital letters AC and the number 272 underneath. All inside the seal. Tag itself is alumimun. Serial # on IH tag & 2nd tag match. There is no indication that it ever had any decals other then the two tags. Has rubber tires, pto (which shows some wear), has flip up seat, throttle is on steering column, no generator or starter, no belt pulley, big brake drums in the wheels hubs. What color should it be painted?? Anyone have a paint code # handy for IH Industrial Yellow?? Would like to hear from anyone with their thoughts about this tractor. Can email photos.
