Allis-Chalmers 200 started production this month of 1972.
The information also talks about the 200’s new QCS (quiet, comfortable, & safe) cab was designed by west Allis & LaPorte engineers, then built at LaPorte. It was the forerunner of several tractor cabs that would set new sound-level targets for an entire industry (i think that is referring to the later 7000 series’ ”Acousta Cab”??) It was Allis-Chalmers’ first ROPS model cab. |

The 200's "factory" cab was very quiet and unfortunately don't think it was ever given a decibel rating by anyone. Nebraska Test would have, but AC convinced them the test results would be the same as the previously tested 190 XT turbo-diesel, so they didn't have to test the 200, so there was never a cab quiet decibel rating done.

Some of those cabs had a visor on the front exterior and some didn't. I don't know for sure but I think it was the later models that had it. Do you know Dr.?

Visor was early on. Later models no visor and cream color top. Latest models no visor all orange.
