Biggest open station Allis?

A couple posts today have me wondering what is the biggest/most HP open station tractor Allis Chalmers made. The plow day 7030 had me looking twice!

AC made a 7080 with a 4 post ROPS canopy.

The neighbor had an 8050 open station, I would guess the 8070 would have been available too.

You can also see part of the side window hinges.

Anyone else notice the big come-apart in that 7080?

Some one on here had a picture of a 7030 with fenders

Don't get me wrong Cummins makes a great engine and I even repowered a 8030 with a 6BT5.9 when the A-C 426 broke a main cap and cracked the block. Just one of those things that are neat to see a C-series in an Allis, but also sad at the same time.

I think those 4-post ROPS canopies are butt ugly on any brand of tractor. It's kind of like they started putting a cab on it and ran out of money. The 2-post look nice though.

The 7080 was not offered with open station or rops. Cab was standard equipment. That one in the pics has had its cab literally cut apart to look like the rops model. The 7000 had 2 post rops while the rest had the 4 post. The 8000 series was offered with the open cab. Basically a stripped cab. No windows doors padding even had a different seat. Here are some pics I have saved over the years.

Oh, its a trick question. The HD41 will hold the biggest AC open station honor.

My 7020 HighCrop has a Protective frame. The 7000 series  books I had have shows it was available  in 7010 thru 7080.

7050 open station I saw a few  years ago at the AGCO dealer in Albers, IL.  Mike

You're going to have a problem stuffing that thing into a 7080. The 855cid Cummins engines are much, much bigger than the 5.9 Cummins most people use for repowers.

That is a possibility if the order book shows that. All the sales literature i have shows the 7080 as having the cab as standard equipment. I have never seen a 7080 with rops unless it was a cut up cab as the one above. I saw an open station 7060 at Stitzels in Pa a few years back. It was mean looking.
