I like the looks of an open staion 7000 series much better than with the cab. Even when they were new I thought the maroon bellies looked like glossy red oxide primer begging to be painted. Perhaps they were not glossy enough as I sure like this one, and I'm glad that you didn't do what I would have been temped to do & paint it up like a black belly model! Great job on another one!!

I agree with Kip, those tractors look so much better without a cab, who ever designed those cabs and the 200 cab's completely mismatched the style of the tractors. I've owned 3 7060s and a 7080 but I never cared for the cabs on them inside or out. ------------- AGCO My Allis Gleaner Company |

thank you for all the replies! It sure turned out better then I thought. I agree on the open station 7000 they sure are an Eye catcher. Somthing not seen all of the time. It is a tractor we are planning on adding to our collection I beleive. We will probably rake some hay with it and go on a few tractor drives. With the 18.4-38's it goes down the road at a pretty good clip! It is fun to drive and sounds good as well. I cant get over how smooth the 3 speed power shift works on these tractors. We are working on a mate to it that will more then likely be for sale in a couple of months if anyone may be interested. Thanks again!!

| Thats like turning back time to when they were new. Good that you can get a little use out of it raking hay and not just a show queen. |

If they had looked that good coming off the assembly line, they would've been sold out all the time! It is a beauty. ------------- If it weren't for the last minute, I wouldn't get anything done! |

| I know you don't need the weight for haying but that tractor would look so cool with a couple of rear donut weights and a set of front suitcase weights on it. Just plain mean for a +100HP tractor! IMHO |

we have the bracket for the weights painted and ready to put on. We have 6 weights I think will be enough for going to shows and raking hay. Probably be used for spreading fertilizer. I will post a couple more photos when I get the weights on!!

| Are those stickers on the batteries the ones that came with Allis batteries? I would also love to have that for haymaking. Good attention to detail looks like it just came off the line. |

Andrew, it was a '76 7000 and had 5800 hrs when I replaced the tach and i think it had almost 3000on the tach when I traded it. I traded it for a 1937 narrow gage M + some cash. The new owner is pleased with it and it is used mostly in hay for him. It was painted about 1985 and the belly got black. I tried to load a pic from the GOTO '10 at Gray and the file is to big . I'm not to good at these things but if I can find another one I will post it. Scott ------------- Allis Chalmers still exist in my mind and barns |

Does the new owner of the 7000 go to shows with it or use it most of the time? When you painted it did you go with the newer style of decals as well? Thanks for all the great posts guys. Andrew ------------- Andrew Gubbels Gubbels Restoration |
