The Ford 7700 | When I was 6 or so (im 14 now) I'd spend time at my uncle's farm in western New York. They hay about 700 acres a year today, but then they had an old ford (about 40hp) and an Allis-Chalmers 5040. They hayed much less then.

He would remove the doors in the summer, and usually not put them on until late fall/winter. There was a loader on the tractor, and I was always amazed at how it could pick up a huge marshmellow (round bale) and never even shake the tractor.

The clutch and brakes were worn and the engine was coming up on needing a complete Overhaul. Lanse, OH, entered 2007-08-08 My Email Address: Not Displayed |
