Looking to buy a Ford 7000 cab and air let me know if u know where one is at... I'm from Texas so closer the better thanks
If you can find one go for it. Ive seen ROPS models and some with the big SIMMS cab but none with working air.
Stay clear of any with dual power. Fords version of the partial powershift didnt last for most people and theres only a few older mechanics around to deal with them. Look around theres more 8000. 9000, 8600 9600 7600 7610 7710 and TW series tractors for sale, the most common problem is the single hydraulic supply powering the dual power transmission, and the pto clutch, traction control 3 pt and remotes.
The later 6600 were close in size and had regular transmissions.

All the regulated circuit flow comes from a dedicated gear pump mounted in tandem with the main pump. One does not have to be an old-time Ford mechanic to fix a Dual Power unit, only the ability to read a tech manual and use a pressure gauge is required, along with basic mechanical skills and aptitude.
Ford never had a factory cab/AC option on 7000's built for North American sale; and most of the 6600 tranny parts are identical to those in a 7000.
