#MondayMuscle in the form of a JD 5020 featured in Issue #20!

The Kinze re-powered 5020 was accomplished using an 8V-71 Detroit.

On December 6, 1968, Allis-Chalmers began production of the Series III models, starting with serial number 23001. The greatest feature of the Series III, which was designated by a new decal on the XT diesel models, was a beefed up four-pinion differential to solve some of the previous powertrain problems.
