| Any inherent problems, things to look for when buying, etc? Are any parts necessary to repair still available? Thanks. |

A friend has a 7010 he bought 2 years old. He put over 10000 hours on it before a overhaul. At that time he had the agco dealer do the overhaul and new cab kit gaudges, seat. he even had them replace any leaking seal. It's a power shift, only cables went bad. Heres a couple of pics.

| Owner says there is an issue with the trans brake but he thinks it just needs adjustment. I don't know enough about this to know what to check for. |

The 301 could be prone to electrolysis if the cooling system wasn't properly maintained. See if it has a water filter. Hurst ------------- 1979 Allis Chalmers 7000 5800 Hours |

My dad used to have one......it ground a lot of feed and did a ton of feild work...was our only tractor for a long time. Put over 10,000 hours on it....ha dthe power shift trans. Did new pistons and sleeves at one point. Ran it for several years and then replaced the engine with a used combine engine.
The powershift we had issues with....there was some big expensive parts that went bad. It was down and entire summer and had a $10k repair bill.
Other than that...was a pretty good machine....quiet cab and very good on fuel. A lot cheaper to run than dad's current main tractor a Deere 4055. The powershift shifted better than the one in the Deere too.

| The ad lists it as a powershift. |

| We had an 7010 powershift for quite a few years, mostly used as a yard/chore tractor. We added a intercooler, and updated the injector pump, to make it into a 7020, so that we could pull an 8 row 36" planter. Had fertilizer on the planter, and carried 500 gals of herbicide on the tractor. It handled the hills of NE Nebraska real well. Over all it was a good tractor, but we did have a problem with the transmission, one of the pins that held one of the planet gears in place came loose and wedged in the transmission, locking it up. Took about $3400 to fix that. Then the coolant started leaking into the oil, this was due electrolysis at the bottom of the block where the sleeve sealed. To fix this, we filled in the holes with JB weld, then after it had harden, we machined the JB weld so the sleeve would fit. We had this tractor for five years, and put about 17,000 hours on it. |

Great tractor
Like the others said, the shift cables are the biggest problem. Also it is a good idea to install a new crank damper when rebuilding the engine. When they go bad they tend to bereak the crank.
