[AT] update on the allis G

[Larry D. Goss]

Yes.  It's possible that it was repainted before we got it in 1950.
Somewhere around here I have copies of the original literature and
owner's manuals.  I'll check with those and see what color the steering
wheel seems to be.  It's one of those things that doesn't mean a whole
lot to me because my brother owns the tractor and it's still being used
on the farm.  So, I'm not in the process of doing any work on it, but I
do remember that it was orange when we started with it.

Not sure about the G Larry but all AC steering wheels that I know
anything 
about were black up until about 1960 or '61.  It seems to me like the G 
steering wheel was black too but I'm not sure by any means.  Is it
possible 
the one you drove had been re-painted?
