Friend of mine's Daughter posted a video yesterday on Facebook. Pulling out a 7580 that has been in the shed for 17 years. She thought it was sold in 1976. Most info says 1977 was the beginning year. Maroon body. I worked at the dealership that sold the tractor, but that was a LONG time ago! Suspect the fuel system might be one of his biggest problems after sitting that may years. Guess the old owner could no longer climb up there, so it remained parked and he finally passed away in the last year or so. I think Doug is a member here. so maybe he will chime in and supply some info.

Almost 300 were built in 1976. Nebraska testing was done in late October/Nov of 1976 using chassis s/n 1039.

I spoke on the phone with him briefly. He said it was sold in 1976 and the ser# was under 100. Maybe 1074 or 1076, I did not jot it down. Also told him I started this thread. and to get on here with his two cents worth.
