Hello all!
I posted in here about a month ago with a picture asking yall what tractor I had found, and you all responded saying either a 7020 or 7520. And I appreciate your help identifying it. I found a little out about it, apparently it’s been parked there for north of 10+ years. As for the owner I still haven’t been able to track them down or at least get in contact with someone who knows them.
In the meantime, I did manage to come by during another sunset and snag some pics, which I wall share below.

What a shame. Working machines that old are making a lot of money second hand.

Yeah I wish I could save it. I know she’s still got some life in her. But I fear it’s not within my abilities

Nice , a bit of me thing I park my tractor where i need it to start for the next day rather than running back to the sheds each night.

That’s probably what happened here. Either that or something broke right where it’s at and it hasn’t moved since, the farmer just ended up buying a newer tractor

It looks like the top part of the muffler with the rain cap is off to the side leaving the muffler open to the weather. Not good!

Sacramento valley doesn’t get much rain most of the year. 2025 we had a bad rain storm for like a month straight but most of the year we get little to no rain but yes I agree not good probably locked up tight

Ive only seen one of those running and it was a restored 7020. Both the 7020 and 7520 had transmission issues and bottom end failures of engines which is why you don't see many and what you normally see are left to sit.

I had to look at that first photo several times to only realize the weeds were in fact, NOT the tires slinging mud.
I need new glasses.
