Our 7030 openstation! "pics"

Waiting to be hooked to the sprayer. It has a cab now but before my dad bought it from the dealer it was cab-less. The guy that owned it before us was claustrophic and couldent be in a cab, but when the dealer had it they put this cab on it and we have had it ever sense. "It dose need alittle paint"

Why no steps on the left side?

I was wondering about the color of the 'undercarriage' ... is that original?

Ever consider putting it back to cabless? I used to think cabless looked ugly but they have grown on me. Looking at that cab just shows how much bigger the factory cab really is. It's an illusion that the fatory cab is too small. They are no smaller than a John Deere Sound Guard. Same square feet of glass (41 sq feet) even though the John Deere front window is curved and I can have one of my kids ride with me to the left rear behind the seat. Good place to fall asleep using their jacket for a pillow. Where would they sit in the John Deere?

I have learned to accept the maroon belly look but I can't figure out why Allis ever went to that color in the first place. Just a simple change from the maroon to black they went from the ugliest tractor Allis ever put out to one of the prettiest of all brands at that time.

One other thing, with that cab arrangement you could put 50'' tires on there and not have any clearance issues.
