I found just sitting. Kids have busted some of the glass on the cab. It has a for sale sign with a disconnected #. I have not seen to many big ACs nor Olivers in my area. Could I still hang out here on the Ollie board if I were to get my hands on this rig?

Grins - and posting the pic for others to see

I've spent many hours running a 7060 like you're looking at. Used to help at best friends dairy farm that backed up to ours who had all orange. If you chop corn or hay, you're gonna LOVE the full powershift trans. It allows you to keep the chopper running to capacity in varying crops. Also comparing heft of 7000/7020 to 7060 is like comparing 2-70 to 2-135. Friends 7060 red belly hade over 10K on it when sold and as far as I know it's still running. And to head off about heavy work we used it for plowing with a 7x18" AC plow, and 25' Krause disc. Was really tight for me to get my lard butt into though, but quieter than White cabs. No engine work and snap ring in trans at about 8K.

One thing to check is fluid level of rear end. Many around here would leak either hyd. or trans oil into rears. Neighbor would pull check plug , drain oil down to full level and dump it back up front. Did this daily when brother worked for him.

Neat looking 7060 there. Like Mick said, those 70 series AC's have some light rear ends, our 7020's was hashed at 3,000 hours, so just be careful. The maroon bellies arent the best ones(so i hear), but I know lots of people that swear by those tractors....they all break or need repair. Looks like a good buy to me if the price is right:)

We had a good A-C dealer in our area a few years ago but that 70 series tractor nearly put him out of business. The bigger tractors that bypassed the salvage yards are pulling planters and wagons. Transmission and rearends were too light for the power. Use a 160hp tractor like a 100hp it would standup well. Run it to the max and you haul it to the scrapyard

Make you a good tractor to pull grain wagons with. Then in the winter put a 9 foot blade on it in case you have snow to move. Send me a U2U on the Hart Parr site. I have a few questions for you. Around here ther smaller 70 & 8010 series were morepopular. My next door neighbor still has two.

I find that my Oliver 1850 and my AC 7000 (a 100+ hp version of the picture) co-habit very well. Come to think of it, even the two Deere's do too! Yep, they all seem to get along together in the field. So, it ought to work here too!

By the way, "maroon" bellies preceed the "black" belly series. If memory serves me right, the maroon bellies have 'clutch units' and the black bellies have 'torque limiters' - don't really know what the difference is myself. I am sure there are other differences too, but they generally 'look' the same (other than the belly color). Oh, just one other thing, it's a shoe-horn fit to get in/out of the seat for a large person like me. But once I'm in, it's very comfortable.

Of course you can. But please tell me... what is it? I wouldn't know an AC if it ran over my foot!

It is a 7060 - I think they began making them in 1974. It came from the factory at 160 HP @ PTO, 131 HP @ DRWBAR. It was powered with 426 c.i. 6 cyl. turbo dsl, open hyd., CAT 2 or 3. The rubber on this one is 14Lx16.1's on front 650/65RX38's on back. also power shift, dual speed pto.

From another website -
"The 70 series AC PowerDirector & PowerShift trannies are bullet proof. The 7060 if it is going to have a problem will be the engine. Too many owners heard of the AC 426cid intercooled of being capable of 220 hp with the turn of a screw. This was not a good move and it stressed the rods, bearing and rod bolts to the point of failure. An UNDERHAUL isn't all that expensive to make sure that the engine will hold up for many hours to come. And have it dyno'd to make sure it isn't over 170hp, it will last many years at 170hp or less. That same engine was in the AC tractors and Gleaner combines to the end and AC changed the fuel system to get the power and life expectance out of it at higher hps. With the "proper factory mods" it can reliably turn 220 hp with general maintenance guidelines but not recommended for the 7060 trannies, the 7080, 7580, 8070 and 4W220 were built heavier to maintain hold the hp."

Thanks for the info. That sounds like one tractor that would NOT need a Cummins repower!
