7060 Power Shift

The PS transmission overall has been pretty good. You aren't giving the AGE or s/n of the chassis. The PST came out in the Fall of 1975 during the maroon chassis era, and I had my first one apart in the winter of 1976 before the Service Manual was even printed. Seems as tho there was a workmanship problem on this particular tractor that required a tear down to repair it.  Since the beginning there have been several updates and improvements, mostly on external things. How often the transmission oil and filter have been changed has a lot to do with transmission service life. Prior to s/n 4087 they had a quite small filter on the transmission that was (in my opinion) inadequate, as it required changing more often because of its small size.  The same could be said for the transmission suction screen down low that needs to be serviced and monitored when the oil is changed. There was a secondary oil cooler and 8-blade radiator fan that was a required update in those early years. The PST shift valve got multiple improvements too. As time went on, more and more PST's were sold and in the 8000 series I'm pretty sure it sold at a higher percentage to PD transmissions.

Price is up to you. 1981 is the last batch of them. Tires today are obnoxiously high priced. A/C repairs/updates have happened to all of them now, but shows the owners wanted to keep things up to snuff, versus take off the door and all the cab glass (which sure does happen).

Those transmissions, for the most part, were dependable. The two problems that Pat described, were the most common of a serious internal failure. Valve body issues were usually the main problem. 14,000-15,000 value???

I am at least going to take a look at it. It has the 18.4 42 rears, stadium lighting,but most importantly the owner goes into great detail of how he found the tractor and the extra effort done to correct any problems. Said the injection pump was leaking so sent it to same place he sends all his pumps.
We worked our 7060 hard. Had to fluid the front and put a longer weight bar on to hold the front down using a 11 shank chisel and she never complained. I know they are good tractors.

My brother and I looked at 3 or 4  8000's series here in the last few years. Lots of wasted travel miles and standing around at auctions to buy something that had been neglected and maybe abused. Yes. You're right. There are some 8000's that can be bought for the same or maybe less. But, finding that one 8000 that has been cared for and just has good bones will cost you MORE, and probably a lot more. And, we did find a good one a year ago and so far, no regrets. Nice well cared for equipment will generally bring more $$$$$$$$ regardless of the age.

I myself can argue a 7060 is alot more tractor. Sure is a rabbit hole. They are asking north of $25,000.00 for it. After I just got done going through a D21 this 7060 see seems like a bargain.

I have one as my big tractor. 46th black belly 7060 built. Has almost 9k hours.

Powershift sheared the bolts off the clutch pack 2 years ago, and had Mayers rebuild it. Apparently the earlier ones had 3/8 bolts and no loctite on them, later ones had 7/16s bolts and loctite.

Cost me about 12k to have it rebuilt, new air conditioner parts and some oil leaks fixed, and id do it again in a heartbeat

Congratulations! I enjoy my 7060 too. As you said, "it liked it!" They're the snappiest throttling factory 426 that I've operated.

Thats nice!!!

Super nice, please post more pictures when you get it home. Really enjoy seeing original low hour tractors.

So just curious, what's a tractor like that worth these days?

She's a looker, that's for sure.
