Confusion on AC 720

I am browsing the "for sale" ads in our classifeds. Naturally, I'm watching for 720's and 9020's. I came across a photo from Sandy Lake Implement posted on 10/22/03. (Sorry, but I couldn't paste it :I)They call it a AC720 and it sure looks like one, but the hood says "Simplicity". Why would this be? ? john

My guess is its a 720 they got ahold of with a damaged hood and they had one around from a Simplicity. Don't think they have time to worry about paint jobs around there, we keep them too busy sending out parts...MPH

I was in there shop and Bill told me the person he got it from put the Simplicity decals on it.

That explains it. But it is kind of curious :). Were 9020's more expensive than 720's? john

They were about the same price as far as I can tell. The Allis models may have been a few $$ more, but not really enough to notice. For resale purposes, though, I think the Allis would be worth more because of it's name.... Painting the hood and putting Allis decals on it might make you a buck or two when it comes time to sell....
