The offset front is to give a wide cross brace, yet angled to create the illusion of a very narrow piece going across a very important line of sight. Less blind spot so to speak.

I would say that JPGs tractor is a 1977. It is a power director. All maroon tractors were metal tanks as was the first year black bellies.

I've never been so thankful to be color blind. I can tell most distinct colors with some study but have problems with all the shades. But color does matter. I have a 2007 Ram the blue color I've hated it since the day I drove it home. Guess I didn't buy it for the color because it has almost 328,000 miiles now. I do like my 2014 white Ram much better though.

Black. I vote for the black. The flared out lower side windows made the cab louder and glass harder to clean. I hated, HATED, the gear shift in the floor. Still glad Gleaner had the good sense to use black.

Myself I don't mind the floor shift..... in fact I prefer it vs the troublesome side console twist handle. I'm not sure I would like the floor shift of a straight 7000 though.
One job where I don't like the floor shift is when backing up while blowing snow, my leg hits the shifter when I try to swivel the seat to look back. I live with it but I can see how a 7000 series power shift or any 8000 series would be preferred.

Maybe Allis hired an Agricultural Engineer from Virginia Tech to design those tractors and he decided they should be orange and maroon. ![]() Tech grad here too. GO HOKIES!!

I don't have a problem with the floor shifter either, not much to go wrong with it vs the T handle which becomes a pita when they start to wear out.

Micheal V,if you look at my first picture you can see the difference in the step compared to the second picture i posted of when mine was new. The mod turns the step forward and out,i posted a photo last year on here, i will try to find it again.

This is the best i can do for now, cut top of rear mounting bracket and lenghten 2 inches,then lenghten bottom stay same amount or more,this with a smaller 14 inch steering wheel makes life abreeze getting in and out.
