Glad to hear you're doing good, I'll be needing a kit or 2. Anything ever happen with a kit for the 7580/8550 doors?

no on the 7580/8550 doors and proly won't happen. closest tractor is 80mi away. it's really hard for me to do a kit, if the tractor isn't on my yard.

Had my first customer tell me he wants his door back to factory, The shock bent and the door bracket broke. Don't know what happened to it because you know they only tell you part of the story. It is a great improvement on the tractors he was the first to tell me this. Get healed up soon!!!

it's all under warrenty. have never refused anyone. but i usually ask the circumstances! those stories are usually good. most of them start out by 'well i thought i could improve on your design' or my favorite; 'no i didn't read the directions' i love my customers and wouldn't trade them for the world. the guys are like me, they have adapted stuff for so long, it's in there genes!

they have made improvements in the 17yrs, since my last open heart surgery.

How much easier does it make on getting in and out of the cab

Good to read you are on the road to recovery.

Do you have a picture of how much more the door opens?

Easier and safer.

With the factory system, the door might shut inadvertently unless the catch was really tight. Then the door flexed and I worried about possibly breaking the glass.

I have had the door blow shut on me while I was getting out. Now, that is not possible.

You go guy, pay attention to those darn doc's. And do the rehab stuff. I've had many customers that didn't. They are not with us anymore. Good luck and get well soon.

I just put one on a few weeks ago. Absolutely the best thing I've done to the 7010!

(Don't tell, but I'd pay more!)

Thanks and get well soon!

Roscoe.

are in person pickups available? :)

We gotta go pick up some headers at Seward that we bought from Duffek. BTW, look him up, he refurbs a few Allis' and might send a few customers your way.
