| Took me a while to get some pictures, but here they are. The original engine spun a rod and this one is out of an 8050. Pretty sure that's why dad had to re-locate the exhaust. Really helps with the visibility. If AC had done this when they were new, it would have solved a lot of complaints about the cab.

Ohio | I don't think theres anything that can make those tractors better. My grandpa bought a 7000 new in 1976. I asked him several months ago why he didn't buy a Deere. He said that you couldn't find any. I hate that tractor with a passion. The cab sucks, transmission sucks and it rides like a tank. 3rd gear is to slow and 4th is to fast even with the 3 speed power shift. There's a 4mph difference between 3rd over and 4th under. |

| There is a big difference between the 7000 and the rest of the series. They do ride like a tank and the cab pretty much sucks. I like the 6 speed powershift in this one, though. One tough old tractor.

Central Iowa | I personally like the 7000 series. My ol' 7050 is still getting the job done for a pretty small investment. I don't use it hard for tillage and such anymore, but it does a great job for loader and general "utility" work. I also find the cab much easier to get in and out of than the soundgard cabs of similar vintage. I guess to each his own, as they say. I am gonna keep this one around for as long as I am farming.

| Looks awfully scabbed-together to me but as in most in cases: function over fashion. |

Kingston,Mi | A instructional seat in that cab consists of a pad on the fender with the window opened. Our Conservation District leased 1 with a 8 row IHC 800 planter from a farmer for several years and the ride around to familiarize the renter with the tractor and planter was to literally sit on the fender in the open window. |

| That's how my wife rides with me if it's not too cold. My boys just fight over which side of the back window to sit in. I've had all 4 of us in it at once, but I wouldn't want to spend the day doing it. Dad's 3140 Massey's would be better for that.

| Our 7080 has had an muffler set-up similar to that for several years. Sure does make a difference on being able to see, especially with the 470 loader on it. |

Schomberg, Ontario, Canada | I'm 6'4" and 250lbs, and I can get in and out of my 7020 and 7060 just as easy as a Deere Soundgard, or an IH with a 'suicide' door. I will admit that they are a little narrow, but once you are in it, there isn't much of a problem. |

Washington Co Ks | I had a 7050 for quite a few years. It was a good old tractor except for the ride. The newer tractors have some features that are nice but the thing that I enjoy the most about my Deere & CaseIH is the ride. The AC also left a lot to be desired but that may have been par for the course in those years. |
