I was thinking last night, is it just my imagination or did someone once post photos here of a 7000 series tractor with 8000 series hood and grille?

Yeah, that's not what i was thinking about.  I thought someone saved two tractors and blended them together.  Cab and drivetrain from 7000, sheet metal from 8000.

Yes I have read them both myself, very good!  He shows where the engineers were trying to break the spindles off the front axles of the tractors in the soft back book.
