1977 Allis Chalmer 7020 Belly Color

Intrepretation:

Must have had cast duals. Pusher bolts pushed the wedges off the axial.

I am going to guess that the tractor was a 1976 Allis 7040 maroon belly, or a 7060.

Also, the implement discussed sounds like a Lely Roterra? Or a Lilliston Rolling Cultivator? google search each and report back which one it is.

Keep digging for photos!

I could be wrong but I think all the ROPS canopy models were like that for all 7000 series. I also think cabbed models changed to lowered front flashers some time early in the 7040/7060 production.

Closer to the Lely Rotera the lillian rolling cultivator.

sometimes we don't remember what things were exactly....I have a 8070 now and my cousins dad bought a new 8030 back in the day.My cousin keeps referring to the 8070 they used to have.....but he is a duffuss

The "1066" was actually the Deutz 100 06, not IH 1066. I apologize if In mislead anyone. The Deutz probably could out pull most tractors of v equitable HP, but with single drives, traction loss was the biggest failure.

You got me.

Now you are just gonna have to try and find pics. And as I said before, we all love pics.

I think all non-cab, ROPS models, be it maroon belly or black, had a fiberglass top with the flasher lights in the top. All cabbed 7030 and 7050 had the fiber glass top. I think all later cabbed models had a metal top. Unsure about the very early 7040, 7060, 7080 as far as cab tops go. There is a 7040 on tractor house with the flashers in the cab top on front. I think I have sales brochures showing some 7040/7060 models with flashers in cab top but parts book only shows metal top parts number for cabbed models. All ROPS non-cab show part number for fiber glass top.

I don't think so, although interested in tractors, I didn't know much about them...

Not saying it happened, but when did Allis introduce 7030 and the 7020, because I wonder if we got a re-sklinned 7030 to 7020 and not a 7020...Was the 7030 maroon bellied?

They made it as confusion as hades in winter...

Also, why did Allis introduce the 7000 series like they did... I always thought the sequence was 7000,7010,7020,7030,7040,7050,7060,7080... but I gleaned that the sequence was more(1973-1974) 7030-7050,(1975-1979)7000-7040,,('74-1981)7060,(1978-1981)7020 -7045-7080. Could someone explain.

I think I'd take a 7030 over a 7020, not that the 7020 was a bad tractor. The 7030 is just a bit more tractor.

A couple of my observations. I consider all 7030 & 7050 to be 1973 or 1974. Only 1973 models had the black face cab. These tractors had a plastic roof with the flashers in them. I call the first year 7040-7060-7080s 1975 models. They still used the plastic roof. 1976 was the first metal roof. I think that 1976 was also the first power shift.1977 models had a different dash, rectangular, electronic idiot lights instead of the six individual round lights. They had a much larger power shift filter also. 1978 was the first black belly. 7020-7045-7060-7080. They had the accousta cab 2,larger steps, but still used a steel fuel tank. The gear shift lever was moved to the side in 1978 on the power directors. 1979s went to a plastic fuel tank. 1981s used the Bosch injectors. The straight 7000 were 1976 & 1977 maroon belly with a dry clutch. 1978 7000 was black belly and used the first speed of the power director as an inching clutch. The last year of the 7000,those tractors used a larger muffler, like the larger framed tractors. The earlier ones just used a round muffler like a 200. The 7010 took the place of the 7000 in 1980 as I recall. I consider 1982 to be the first year of the 8000s. These are just for my reference. Actual dates when the models were introduced may be different from what I perceive them to be. Many other improvements and updates were added thru the years and did not necessarily correspond to any specific years model.

8000 series had build dates in December 1981 I believe. They are considered 1982 models I suppose. I always go by the build date myself to determine year of tractor.
