Went to the Fanetti open house today. Sure was something to see in one location. I took this picture though that I thought was kind of neat. The view from the driver's seat on the 6070. Sure hope it goes to a good home. |

Thank you. For those of us who will only dream of sitting in the last AC tractor ever built, this is a great picture. I'll save it on my computer screen wallpaper. Then, each day I power up my computer, I'll get to look down the 6070's clean orange hood. :) |

That's on my bucket list now! Sit in the last A-C tractor made. Awesome photo! This may be a dumb question, but I thought the 6000 series were Fiats, not actual A-C?

There is at least one picture of the last Allis rolling down the line. Now I can take this picture and hang it right next to it. ------------- The mechanic always wins.

| Is it true those decals on the engine side panels are just magnets over the actual A-C decals? I heard once the Deutz decals on all A-C tractors were just magnets, and many farmers removed them once the warranty ran out. |

Nothing very high yet, except the 220FWA @$60,500. The last tractor made is only $16,500. It is sure to get fast and furious from here on out. Guess I am the goat for saying it could bring $250,000. ------------- sometimes I walk out to my shop and look around and think "Who's the idiot that owns this place?" |

Magnets do not stick to fibreglass panels very well! They are decals with some poor quality adhesive (fortunately). The DA decals were removed before I got my 6080, but you can still see what was covered... http://s526.photobucket.com/user/szalmyr/media/6080/DSC00699.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '63 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |
