 Just about finished with converting my 7040 over to an open station. I have been trying to keep it looking as authentic as possible.

You use the open station kit from Luke Roosenbom? Fenders are 200?

| Yes sir. Luke has a good product. Fenders are from a late 190xt so ya (same as 200). |

| I'm planning to do the same, might try to make the single light but key plate too. |

| The 190/200 fenders bolt right up. They will save you about a 500-1000 bucks over finding a good set of 7000 series fenders. |

| Looks great Mattman. Thanks for posting a photo of it. I don’t see a floor shifter, so thinking it’s a Power-Shift? And which year? |

Mattman and Silvershoes what are you doing with your cabs? I am in need of cab glass, roof and door! Where are you located? You can PM me. Thx BTW tractor looks great! |

| The cab I removed was one of the nicer cabs that I have ever seen. I have been going back-and-forth about keeping it because I was going to use it on a different tractor but feel free to throw an offer at me. I don’t want to separate anything from the cab. |

| I have cab glass and door I believe. What are you needing? |

| Also have the roof and door I believe. Shipping would be crazy to Montana though |

Thx for responses mattman and silvershoes. I need left side rear, rear, and lower door glass, and roof (preferably metal). Yes I am in Montana near Billings. Was out at Appleton WI last summer stopped at allstate's ag at Blackcreek but they didn't have anything. I would have to see what shipping would be. Where are you two guys located. Could I PM you. Thx |

I might be able to fix/weld my door up adequately. I'm new to this great forum and have really gotten into the old Allis's. I know I need to get hooked up on other threads but i also got a 7060 that may have spun rod bearing that need to get feedback on and a good old Gleaner CII I hope to have running next summer. Yes, being out west it's harder to get parts. Not much for AC out here. |

what is the main reason for those that eliminate the cab and go open deck ? ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

| Cool factor Steve, they look awesome that way and many of these cabs are rotting out along the wheel wells now with age. |

| That looks really good does the kit come with everything you need to convert it to a open station. |

| Does not come with fenders |

| Ok where can I get the kit ,I have one that the cab is in rough shape would like to make it a open Station |

| I had to drive to Rose hill Iowa to pick up kit. |

| Ok well that would be ok with me, my 7040 is a great running tractor and I'm using it for hay and stuff but I think I want to make it open instead of finding a cab, I live in ohio and the weather just has taken a toll on the cab, unfortunately I'm the 3rd owner and it sat outside most of its life. |
