7000 Allis production question

Nope, black belly went to using the Power Director as the main wet clutch too, maroon used a dry foot clutch. Shifter is different I believe and cab ofcourse. I'm sure there are other minor differences.

Not sure but I know there was an update in the brakes sometime during the 200 production.

There was an update to the transmission brake to a stronger spring and lever setup due to the additional drag of the wet clutch causing hard shift problems in cold weather.  And that was modified mid-production with the black bellies to an even higher compression rate spring later on through a TSB.  The black belly also had the HD front end as an option (same axle as the 7010-8070).  Additionally, there was a change to the ac condenser and I believe transmission cooler with the changeover.  Because the powershift/power director clutch acted as the wet clutch, the PTO valve was moved to an external valve from the valve plate on the side of the transmission housing.  That valve was utilized as the inching valve for the clutch.  Otherwise, I think everything has been covered on here.  Those are most of the things I have run into.

Not on the 7000, still open system mounted on engine like a 190

Guess I was thinking about 7010

The model 7000 tractor was always and only available as (what was called) a POWER SHIFT version. It was never a 6-speed PST transmission like the larger tractors. It was a Low-Direct-Overdrive wet clutch located where the Power Director clutch was on a 180-190-200. The transmission was a 4-speed with a Park feature. Brown tractors used a dry foot clutch. Black tractors had the Power Shift wet clutch slightly redesigned to always start in LOW range, eliminating the need for the dry type foot clutch.

My fault for referring to the Power Shift as the Power Director. Allis redesigned the Power Director by eliminating the neutral and adding a third clutch pack to give what was known as the two speed Power Director a third speed and called it a Power Shift. To me they are both technically power shifts if they shift on the go, under load.
