In the latest issue of OAN, lower right hand corner on page 49 there's a picture of a guy with what appears to be a D-19 as part of a promotion for General Mills' "New Country Corn Flakes".  This was in an AC Viewsletter dated 1965.   That's a while before I started collecting 1/16th AC models, but I have never seen one of these tractors and I have been to a bunch of toy auctions and shows through the years.  Anyone here have one or ever seen one????    Tks!!!    Armand

 I have not seen one nor have I seen the corn flake box. I guess they are very rare. Scott

Armand,

Unsure about the whole cereal box promotion thing but I have seen the plastic D series tractors. Maybe they were special for the cereal company or not. Dad had 3 at one time-2 were all stock while the 3rd did have chrome wheel centers-unsure if special or just Dad doing some embellishing of his own. The story he always told was the AC dealer at the time had cases of them(6/case) and couldn't sell them. He offered them to Dad dirt cheap just to get rid of them. Dad only wanted 3 so that was what he bought. They were all D14s though about 1/25 scale similar to most plastic model cars with "D14" and "Allis Chalmers" raised lettering actually part of the mold. I believe sometime in the 1990s, there was a re-release which were decaled though as D15s and Allis Chalmers decal down the hood. Just this year there was a 3rd run from the original mold with D14 and Allis Chalmers again part of the mold but only made as a clear tractor. I bought one of these for Dad to go with his originals.

The plastic d14 as shown is ascribed to Strombecker, but was actually built by Kaysun plastics in Wisconsin as cas in the front axle.l It was sold as the cereal promotion, as well as a kit version and as a built model in the 60's. Wendell  Yoder got the molds some time later and redid them to do the Beaver Falls show  tractor and as a D15 sop as not to reproduce the exact model. Wendell's Son ? made a number of them in a clear plastic and sold them as a special edition. Wendell sold out to Spec Cast some time ago.  They were a neat little tractor, we have my Wifes from when she was a small girl. They are available in all versions in auctions and ocassionally on ebay. In the last 30 some years i have never seen the cerial bos nor one that could be identified as from the cereal promotion, that would be something for the purist like me to see! I did sell Kaysun documentation in  my auction with Girard Auction Service last fall.
Play on 38 B 49 WF , working on D14, D15 B10, Bee 12 B110. use 185 and 190

Thanks for the info!!!!   Now that I look at the photo with a magnafying glass it probably is a D14 or 15.  I thought it looked like a bigger tractor.   I have seen the plastic models but have never bought one or my collection.   Will now be keeping a eye out when at the National Farm Toy Show in Dyersville in Nov.    Wouldn't it be neat to run across one of the cereal boxes!!!   Armand
