Hi, Folks.
I'm gonna take a guess at an early A-C HD5. I'd LURRRVE to see more photos of that blade lift set-up but FARCEbook doesn't like me.
Here's a photo of another HD5 with another oddball blade lift arrangement:

Just my 0.02.
No dough it is an AC as the diamond with AC in it is visible on the front just above the added screen on the radiator. My first guess is a HD 6. But no way to know with that picture.
Looks like it might be an Allis Chamlers

Hi, Folks.
I doubt that it is an HD7. The HD7s had a hood with parallel sides while this machine appears to have a hood tapered toward the rear. It also appears to have a fuel tank behind the seat where the HD7s had the fuel tank behind the engine in the 'firewall' position.
Just my 0.02.
It seems to say (printed) HD5 on the side of the seat. Maybe my old eyesight is bad, but that is what it looks like to me.
Oops, I just went back and realized that the orange one is not the one being discussed. Slightly brain dead tonight.
You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
