Gregg C. Montgomery, Industrial Design Manager at IH Burr Ridge, refined the 7688 Super 70’s 2+2 aesthetics to match the successful 50 series tractor. Marketing requested larger model numbers for better visibility to influence farmers’ purchases. Planned upgrades included 260 HP, improved ergonomics, and a new transmission, but only two prototypes were built, and most features never made production. This third release in Outback Toys’ Limited Edition Power Series replicates those prototypes with die-cast metal, chrome stack, 4WD articulating body, and unique decal placement. Recommended for ages 14+, display only.
