NewHolland2 Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 The 82 was ?8.5K......A mate of mine also looked at the 8 and said it was maybe just as well I didn't get it as it had oil leaks from the brakes, the door wasn't closing properly and he guessed by the bodywork on one side it was an ex-hedge cutting tractor......

Looking at getting myself a 1.4 Escort for starters, 1.6's are just too high on insurance...... :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our 7740s were Ns and the last before they went to the NH decal. Blue wheat-ear (FIAT logo) on the nose and grey skid unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Two nice clean tractors but with 8*40's you only get the SLE gearbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 That's a better option, the SL gearbox was forever locking up. I know it'c cheaper to repair than the SLE, but the SLE gearbox is an all round nicer layout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it'c cheaper to repair than the SLE, but the SLE gearbox is an all round nicer layout. I agree with you on operation but SLE's can be frightening to repair - a neighbour had one and it cost over ?1000 for a top end overall his 7840 had a new gearbox for 4k and now needs a hydraulic pump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Apparently resting your hand on the SLE shift lever for a lot of the time causes so much wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGEL FORD Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Apparently resting your hand on the SLE shift lever for a lot of the time causes so much wear. So it will on just about any gearbox as your are putting pressure on the selector forks in their collars which are designed for free running and only momentary contact while changeing gear....nearly as bad as "riding" the clutch. Though with power shift this may not be the same principal as a manual gearbox, but as usual ...you abuse it-you lose it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 So if I abuse my ASBO... Nah only joking Thanks for the description Nigel, I don't do it myself, but I didn't think it was that bad, learn something new everyday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
