I agree. I looked up the 1962 LW7000 and the longest wheelbase available was 158" with a 295" overall length. That tractor might have been a 158" wheelbase model, or it was some even longer SEO. The longer wheelbase certainly gave more space for fuel tanks and long wheelbase tractors are more stable on grades.
