[AT] Allis 7030 running warm

[Cecil R Bearden]

   I pulled my 16 ft Cook Offset disk today, on the wheat field that had 
the drilling mud applied  where their trucks ran it is extremely 
packed.  The disk is doing a good job after running over 2 to 3 times.

The 7030 had been sitting for 3 years.  I checked all fluids and 
repaired the A/C belt problem.  The PO  had installed 2 heat gauges 
connected to the thermostat housing at the top.  I assume there are 2 
thermostats there.  I do not know which gauge goes to the left or right 
port.
When running in 3rd gear Low pwr director, one gauge runs at 180 the 
other at 190.  When running in 4 low, the gauges go to 200 & 220 and 
tend to move on up.   I am running at 3/4 throttle, I do not have a 
working tach.

I am going to blow out the radiator fins tomorrow morning and install a 
straight pipe to replace my muffler that blew out this afternoon.  When 
running in 4th, the tractor does not appear to really be loaded, and 
smoke is about the same as when in 3 low. The power shift shifts good 
going up, but at 3/4 throttle coming down, it will sometimes nearly stop 
before engaging.  At 1/2 throttle, it works fine.  It seems to be 
getting better with use. I only put 2 hours on it getting the bugs 
worked out with the tractor and the disk.

Anyone who has  experience with the 7030 and could give me a few 
pointers, I would appreciate it.  We used to pull this disk with a MF 
1155 at rated 135 hp, and the 7030 seems to run circles around the MF.  
If I had time I would put the duals back on the 7030 just for a better 
ride....
