Bought a 1978 7060 powershift Wednesday night, 18.4x38 rears and clamp on duals, repainted a few years ago, changed to R-134A Freon, 3 remotes and a whole lot more. Guy I bought it off of is the second owner and has documentation for everything that was done to the tractor and all the work was done by a AGCO dealer. Oh, and its the 46th Black Belly 7060 ever built! This picture doesn't do it justice, I'll have more tomorrow after I get it home ------------- 2001 Gleaner R42, 1978 7060, 1977 7000, 1966 190 XT, 1966 D-17 Series IV and 1952 WD and more keep my farm running! |

Mom then climbed in the cab with me and rode down to the neighbors and back ------------- 2001 Gleaner R42, 1978 7060, 1977 7000, 1966 190 XT, 1966 D-17 Series IV and 1952 WD and more keep my farm running! |

Super nice 7060, you must have kept this a secret so no one would jump on it before you! One of the cleanest I have seen. How many hours? Documentation and the fact an Agco dealer did the work tells you the owner took great care of it. Great find, congratulations and enjoy your new to you ride. Look forward to a picture with her in action or better yet a Utube video.

| Great looking tractor! Congratulations! I have two 7060 power shifts. One is a late 1977 red belly purchased in the spring of 1978 and the other is a 1981 black belly purchased in the spring of 1982. I've always liked them. |

Currently fixing one O-ring on it that's leaking a bit. Better to do it now than this spring. Can't wait to put it to work! ------------- 2001 Gleaner R42, 1978 7060, 1977 7000, 1966 190 XT, 1966 D-17 Series IV and 1952 WD and more keep my farm running! |
