Wish my 7520 looked that good! Mine is sitting in my machine shed since I retired after the 2005 crop. Start it once in a while, but haven't really used it for anything in several years.Bought it in '85 & farmed with it for over 20 yrs. Great old horse!!!!

I had a lot of help from some good friends.I posted it on here because I had some problems that we couldn't figure out especcialy with hydrolics.I got pointed in right direction by asking for help on here.This is a great forum to ask for help.Thanks for the replies.

Sharp old work horse, takes a lot of time and work to bring one of these back. And Fred, if you had to run one of these all week you would beg to get back on your 60...

I have an 8430 that my Dad bought new in 1976. It is still original, but wish it looked this good. I don't farm anymore, but still get it out and drive once in a while. You did a good job.

Would like to see it at a tractor show but I know they are expensive to transport.

Nice tractor.Just got Heritage Iron and there is an article about repowers be a gentleman named Ed Mead with a 7520 that was an enginering marvel.Great article and Ed was a genius in the same class as Jon Kinzebaw.He did many in Illinois and seemed to like the 903 Cummins.
