7000 series sold around here just fine. Had a real good dealer, Suess Equipment. They switched several around the area from other colors to Orange and silver. One neighbor that Dad rotated rented ground with eventually had about everything orange by the mid 80's from his tractors to the planter to the tillage etc. He was Massey before that and some IH.
BTW the powershift from Allis, about bullet proof like the Power Director, came in about 1974-75 and the 200 was built until about 74-75 just so you know. The 301 was an excellent engine for AC. It proved to have superior torque rise to most others with larger cubes and was a long lasting engine. It was a better built engine than the 426. The 426 was a failure at 180 hp or more unless the pumps were reworked to slow the RPM down. As far as combines Gleaner was king in the USA back in those days and had the highest resale while offering new machines cheaper than most and with all the bells and whistles. I have the old euipment guides purchased by most dealers that show those figures. Got the books at the Case dealer when they were throwing them out. My L2 is a corn eating machine when compared to a 915 or 7720. I've run next to a 7720 in corn and I pull away and there ain't no 915 around the area but when I was a mechanic I worked on two 915s and they are clearly no match for a 7720 let alone an L2.
The N series started off about 3 years too early and after that they are a darn good machine with tons of capacity. Too bad they had such teething problems.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
