Hi! I am new on this forum, and I wonder if anyone here can help me with finding out production year on our Allis-Chalmers 545H.

Don't think I can help with the 2nd one. Pretty sure Norm's book only covers US production...

The United States Military purchased over 1000 Allis-Chalmers 645s during the mid-1960s and it was for some considerable time, their standard medium wheel loader.
From the useless information department
Allis-Chalmers 645s were only painted in the company’s original “Persian Orange” colour during the first six months of production, all subsequent machines leaving the factory in “Hiway Yellow”.
Addenda
Following the roll-out of the 645 in 1965, a slightly smaller machine, the 545 was added to the range later that same year, and in 1967 the larger model 745 was put into production (the model 545 was redesignated the 605 in 1971).
The last Allis-Chalmers articulated steer loader to appear was the huge model 945 in 1973.

Hello! Thank you for the input. But here in Europe the Fiat-Allis (after 1974) was sold as 545 aswell and so did the Fiat-Allis 605. Si I think they were sold during the same period(not 100% shure though).
