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.

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 - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
