HI RICH your right there mate it was large tractor back then now its small in hp but still a good tractor no good for low barns :001_rolleyes:jon

Brilliant tractors Swinny, everything Gardenkit says is spot on.

6700 was a bit underpowered, 7700 was a marvellous machine.

Fords of that age were a bit of a Meccano kit so easily fiddled with.

Ford's DP was better than MF's MultiPower & IH's T/A.

Q cab is all pressed sections and they are notorious for rotting out.

Replacement cabs not easy to come by but there are plenty of folk out there making replacement sections / restoring them, pick up a copy of Classic Tractor....!

Very envious, would love a 7700.....

give it a go if its cheap enough,used to drive a 6600,did all the jobs well, 5'6 wessex swipe,4 tonne trailer so 7700 with 20 odd extra hp will perform well, 6600 had dp stick on steering column,great when loaded up with cord wood on trailer and dragging harrow

But the thing to remember is years ago these were good hp. The hp will have dropped somewhat by now with age. Unless it has had major engine works recently, like a new engine!

Some older Fords had issues with porus engine blocks. Bought a MF135 last night off a guy who runs 12 Fords, mainly 76s and 77s with a TW10 and a 3610, most on hedge trimming.
