punk Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Hello i am looking for information on this set please. I have seen a set for sale recently but i did not buy it as it was not complete. It contained a Ford 7710 and two ploughs and a vicon spreader but the spreader had a balck base i think?. I think there were two items missing? A picture would be great as i am curious what else should be in it punk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britainsnut Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Here is a pic of that set which started with a TW20 and was produced from 1982-85 but changed to the 7710 for the last year. Also in the books i have it lists a mini trailer instead of the roller so maybe there was a couple of variations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archtech Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 There used to be a fairly similar set with a MF 595 in stead of the ford, which I got for Christmas in 1981 but I didn't think the roller was in it, as I never remember having a roller, nor can i remember what was in its place. Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super6 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 MF set, no. 9592, first released in 1977 with an acrobat rake, this was replaced by a cultivator in 1981. The 595 was replaced by the TW 20 in 1982 and the cultivator by the mini trailer. The roller replaced the mini trailer in 1983. The disc mower was replaced with the little Vicon Vari spreader in 1985, the disc mower only being available in this set, from 1983. Set deleted end of 1985. The Ford was always listed in the catalogue, separately, as a TW20 right through to the 5610 release. As noted in the pocket guide, the 7710 was never listed, but there is a picture of one in the 1986 catalogue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
