200 verses maroon 7000 trans and rear end

The trans/diff/final drives/lift arm hsg may look like a 200, but the transmission is completely different, as-is the ring and pinion and bull gears are wider. Rear housing is cast differently. Very little interchanges.

A 7000 has true live pto vs the “live pto” on the 200 using neutral in the power director.

Their thinking was this: to build a replacement tractor for the 190XT and 200. It would have a power shifted overdrive in each existing gear, and a true live PTO. It would utilize much of the same tooling to be built in the factory. I always felt they needed to make it in an 85 HP and 106 HP sizes to better utilize their costs.  EDIT: In the end, this "one-of" tractor only lasted from late Summer of 1975 until mid-1979. It had two series, dry foot clutch and then a somewhat problematic wet-clutch, which finally caused the company to bail out and just replace it with the new 7010, which they really had clear back in 1975 when they introduced the 7000.  Think of all the $$$$$ spent designing, testing and then producing a tractor that only lasted 4 years?  I've always felt the 7010 and 8010 should have had a heavy wall 3/8" thick pressed steel rear wheel centers to reduce some costs and overall weight to make them different from the larger models.

Dont think they pop out of gear, if you turn this one down Leon , I maybe interested

Thanks for the info - I have it in my head I need a 7000 and 7050- Ill check it out , dont want to overbid you - but online auctions or a free for all ,, thanks !

I think you're right, Ed.  But, the costs were too high, at that time anyway. Then, we wait til 1975 for a new 105 to 110 HP model and 4 years later wind up with what we coulda had in 1973. Go figure.  I stand by my pressed steel rear wheels too, as the chassis is plenty heavy as it is. Losing 500-600 lbs switching to heavy pressed wheel centers would have been perfect for weight.
