Sweet! I take it you had an overwidth permit to haul that thing with duals on. What are you going to use it for? Mike

If a previous owner hasn't already done it, get the fuel pump changed to the 4w-305 spec with the lower rpm setting. Your engine (and your pocket book) will thank you.

My Dad had a 7580, loved it, always thought the 7580 and 8550 were very nice looking tractors, easy to work on, well designed, came with fenders and pto unlike some of the others that were "optional". You should be proud, Trev.

what a cool machine. I see the new owner was trying hard not to smile! If it were mine, I don't think I could have kept a straight face!

Thanks for the advise and kind words. This tractor is going to live a very easy life. Will use it to pull out some of our other equipment if we happened to get them stuck. Would like to take it to the local tractor pull for a pull back tractor.I think it will be a sight to see at the show because ther is no big equipment around here. The Farmers that had it took good care of it. It has less than a 1000 hours on a full rebuild.They told me the injection pump was turned up and it really makes some serious H.P. but I won't need the extra ponies. This tractor at one time was at Loretta Lynn's place which to me makes it even cooler  . Had to have an overwidth permit to haul it with the duals on but that was not a problem. I am thrilled to be able to have this tractor. Never thought I would be able own a tractor like this. When I went to buy the 45D I was admiring this tractor and the man said I will make you a deal you can't refuse on that tractor. He was absolutely correct.

I'm bumping an old thread because there's a photo of Loretta Lynn with what's possibly this 8550, for sale on Ebay at the moment - https://www.ebay.com/itm/167251183361
I've no connection to the seller, but I thought it was a great image of a piece of history. Not sure whether the OP, Craig, has logged in recently but hopefully he sees this.  |
