    Ford 7740 16x16 gearbox problems

    I’ve had the 7740 for a few months now, it’s a 1993 pre quad mod tractor with 8600 hours and I’m getting on well with it apart from the gearbox Bering a bit temperamental.

    Home saved seed

    He obviously got out of the bed the wrong side (as my Mum would say). My Reply: I wish to reply to David Buttle in last week’s edition. As a cereal grower I home-save and also buy-in seed. Almost without exception the home saved is better quality, mainly due to fact that it has been over a...

    The lost nail thread: "For want of a nail, the shoe was lost; for want of a shoe......

    ........... the horse was lost; and for want of a horse the rider was lost". We've all been there! The fuel gauge on a MF 390 shows empty even though the tank is still half full, so there's a temptation to keep running. So I have a dry tank. The starter is lazy so priming has to be from...

    Fly presses

    I feel like I need one in my life. Not 100% sure why, but there's always something that needs bending etc. Do many people have them, and are they useful? I don't have a press of any sort currently, if you don't count a loader bucket and a concrete step... Thanks!
