Guys: Anyone here have a D12 Industrial or Farm LBH.
I am looking for some of the evolutionary options of the machine. I do have Normy's book on AC Industrials so have a good bit already. Were there differences between the orange D12 and yellow D12 LBH. I am thinking that the orange and yellow D12 LBH was just what was ordered by the Dealer or the Customer at the time. A factory price list for the D12 LBH would be most helpful. Happy New Year All - thanks in advance for any insights! Orangeman

From Swinford's book, 1961 price, D-12/L102 loader/Mark 1 backhoe was $5988. I think the early (orange ) tractors would have a standard D-12, with no hard nose, or strengthened front axle. Likely would have Henry made hoe and loader.

Hello DiyDave: I am thinking these machines had a shuttle clutch, but what is confusing is I have seen some with a mechanical reverser.
I would prefer a shuttle clutch machine like on the 615 Industrials. Believe Ceesna made the swing motors on these units. Coke might have posted something a while back on the Ceesna Swing units. Thank-you for the price listing - appreciate that!

I have an AC Industrial Dealer Price guide for those tractors. I will look and share what is listed.

Ages Cat - Would be great if you can find any information on the D12 Loader Backhoe and Options.
Steve: Excellent photo of the wonderful 615 machine. Mine has a loader but no backhoe. The shuttle clutch makes for a nice loader setup. Boy those 615's sure are a nice looking tractor. Then again just about any of the AC's are nice. Thanks Guys! Orangeman

First of all the 615 pictured is our tractor, probably photographed @ Orange Spectacular.
The D-12 is listed in the book as a D12 Series II Industrial, Serial 3001 and up. Adjustable front axle, power shift rear wheels, with Traction Booster and Snap Coupler. Base price is $2294.00. With hydraulic, 2 spool, PTO, 3 point hitch and retractable drawbar it would cost $2814.00. This price list is dated May 26, 1965. The D-10 Industrial, Serial 3501 and up lists for $2087.00. With all the other add ons, the list price of it is $2655.00. Both are listed as Industrial wheel tractors. The I-40 is listed @ $2710.00. Reverser was a $148.00 option, the Hi-Lo range transmission was $128.50. I have more money in my I-400 engine than these tractors could be purchased new for in 1965.

The l-99 loader listed for $585.00. Pump list was $85.00 with the 15 GPM @129.00. The Mark 10 Backhoe listed for $1850.00. And $45.00 for the factory to mount it.
On another note, in 1965, the D-21 Industrial tractor listed for $5713.00.

Wow - Ages Cat that is some awesome information on the D12 Industrial. I haven't seen the machine that i have a line on yet but am hoping for a fixed front axle and fixed non spin out rear rims.
I noticed on the beautiful picture of your 615 that it has an alternator. Is the a Delco, Motorola, or Nippondenso unit? Thanks again for the information sure appreciate it. Orangeman |

Orangeman: It is a Delco 10S1. The I400 has a NAPA part number 213-4406, also a GM alternator but much smaller and fits better on the smaller engine enclosure.
Dean: The decals were made by Lyle Wacker in Nebraska. I heard a rumor that his son had taken over the business but cannot confirm it.

LBH guess it works but TLB is most used term (tractor-loader-backhoe)
The 615 detachable backhoe I have came off the HD4 loader I had. It is a 14' hoe and came with 24" bucket - it uses a Cesna - rotary piston swing cylinder which is mounted on top of hoe support unit and has splines that engage into hoe bolster - where as the AC 715B TLB I have uses 2 cylinders mounted on lower support area of hoe. Much of the 615 hoe and 715 hoe are same dimensions as far as cylinder length and pin sizes.

How could a D-10 or D-12 have a forward / reverse Shuttle when they do not have a Power Director ?

Gary: I see what you are suggesting, the 10 and 12 had 4x1 Constant Mesh Transmission for almost all of the line. Page 94 of Norms AC Farm Equipment 1914-1985 suggest that "during 1964 both tractors became the Series III ...the most significant change affecting performance was the availability of the range transmission". So was thinking that with a range transmission "i.e. Power Director" that it is conceivable that a shuttle was released for some of the very late units. I have not seen any 10 or 12's with shuttles but given the above it could be possible.
The I40 and I400 had a Constant Mesh tranny but with a direction reverser with no mention of a shuttle. Anyone here know how well did the direction reversers work? I have been spoiled by the shuttle on the 615. Assuming AC engineers saw the merit in the shuttle and the direction reverser was not continued from a design and build standpoint. More thoughts and comment appreciated. |

Coke: Thanks for the comparative info. on the 615 and 715. Very helpful....I am wondering what hoe was equipped on the HD5 and HD6 I have seen photos of hoes on 5's and 6's assuming these were Henry built units or were they Tractomotive?

Gary is correct. Our I-400 has the range transmission-hi and low. The lever simply slides a gear to change the out put speed. The reverser is more of the same concept of shifting a gear with a lever.
The 615 has the same clutch pack as the HD-3 and the same maintenance / rebuild procedure as the Power Director-Application of over center pressure to a stack of clutch discs.

615 is based on a D-15, I40/400 are based on the D-12. The I-40/400/D-12 transmission had a reverser, or a Hi-lo, Still have to engage clutch to shift it.

Correct regarding the basis for the tractor design. The 615D was improved by using the 200 cubic inch diesel which provided more power than the D-175 used in the I-600 and HD-3 tractors.
