You could get a crash box for 10 series but as a special order.

Youre right. Not very common, only seen one in a 7610 Force II 2wd

there were a lot of 10 series with crash boxes with the square cab after ford realised the rubic gearbox was a dud.

This is my 7610 series 2 c/w crash box. This was the first tractor I bought new in 1989, and the very last new tractor to be sold by Ford dealers Bushells of York before their closure. I opted for the crash box as I wasn't keen on the synchro version at the time due to often ending up with slow reverse speeds when in certain gears.
I remember one of my customers upon seeing it promptly ordering a new 6810 SQ with the same gearbox, this of course would have been a series 3 model.
Like many more of my old tractors from years gone by I still have the 7610 here now although seldom used... (I don't believe in paying into any pension funds.. I have these old tractors instead)

Compared to the British and european counterparts, yes but tractors coming from over the pond had an SG cab, which was light years ahead of everything

You did the right thing by keeping the old Ford. I for sure would love to have the TW10, 6710 or 8210 sitting in the shedThis is my 7610 series 2 c/w crash box.

How have you fixed the JD weights to the Ford set in front?

Don't have a 8210 but I have a TW10 and a 6710 here both under 4000 hrs. Also a second 6710 although it's done quite a few more hrs. There's all manner of makes and models here, some good some poor.... Even a few DB's...You did the right thing by keeping the old Ford.

.. And so as not to veer too far off subject of this thread, we have a couple of 8630's unused for around ten years, c/w fully operational Funk gearboxes...

Can we have some pictures? Pretty please. (Of the fords)
I used an old 67/7700 weight carrier, but in the future i will use another original ford set in front.

I think they were all at the side because of the flat floor design of the SQ cab. 16/4 with dualpower They made Genration III up to the late 90 with mid floor 8/2 without dualpower either fitted with LP cabs or without cabs for export markets

True I was thinking of the 57/67 or 7710. They were rare with non synchro gears

Gear levers are at the side same a synchro SQ. I would think it's a similar design to the 67-7700 models.

I have a mate who will have for sale 1 x 7910 and 2 x 8210 for sale later this year. When he decides to sell I will make sure they are put in classifieds here.
