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.?
