Akey Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 Taking the dog out, and came across this a coupla miles from home......."Pearl" are land drainage contractors Not sure what the chute is for on this one Quote
JC Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 The "chute" is actually a dozer blade if you take a closer look...... it looks to be folded up out of the way at present. Quote

IH885XLMAN Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 Anyone notice that the 7740 has a "blue top" cab and not the white just wanted to "rock the apple cart again" :D ;D Quote
Deerepower Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 Anyone notice that the 7740 has a "blue top" cab and not the white just wanted to "rock the apple cart again" :D ;D think it's because it was Pearl's colour scheme Quote
IH885XLMAN Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 think it's because it was Pearl's colour scheme SHHHHHHHHyou know we love the blue cabed 40 series "FORD" arguments on here ;) ;D Quote
TS135A DRIVER Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 Anyone notice that the 7740 has a "blue top" cab and not the white just wanted to "rock the apple cart again" :D ;D This " blue " roof version is from the early change over period. If you look at the tractor you will see the New Holland leaf logo front badge and a grey engine instead of blue engine but still carrys the Ford decals on the bonnet. This was the livery before the Ford name was dropped for New Holland decals. I drove a 1995 Ford 7840 SL DP that was in this colour scheme. One of the best tractors I ever drove Quote
IH885XLMAN Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 I actualy remember power harrowing for sugar beet sowing and there was two of them not even a month old and that was in 1995 be about april-may \ :'( Quote

Kris Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 you cheeky monkey when I said I have an idea it's something else I thought about a bit of nip and tuck on the 5000 cab to make it like the roadless cab that old excuse Quote
