The MC
John Deere MCs, a crawler based on the model M, 1949-1952 (about 10500 built).
With the model MC, Deere basically took a normal M, and slapped a set of tracks onto the chassis. It was a little more complicated than that, but not much. The MC was targeted for small farmers who needed a small crawler. However some MCs were sold for construction and forestry jobs. And a few of these received a coat of industrial yellow, although I haven't been able to find too many examples. More commonly, one sees them with yellow over the original green.
