ploughmaster Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 The nearest they came to that number was the Ford 7710 which was simply a different decal on the Ford TW20 (produced from 1981 to 1983). Nothing else was changed from the TW20, so the 7710 was not a terribly accurate model. It was produced for around 3 years from 1984 to 1986 and neither it or the TW20 are common, although they do come up regularly. There was also a yellow version with orange decals in the Autoway series from 1984 to1986 which is quite hard to find. The same casting (with a new grille and cab roof) went on to become the Ford 5610, which was an even less accurate model than the 7710 . It was in production for 14 years, so is very common Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 It's a definite, everybody missed that oppurtunity with what is affectionately a classic for many nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDFord Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Heres a 7740 originally from Holland and kindly supplied to me by Barry (Udi) a couple of years ago. The bonnet on this one is a bit narrower than other versions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
