Ford 8700

Wesley O'Neill tells us about his extremely clean Ford 8700 sourced in England and working on the home farm.

Drove an 8700 for a few years drawing Silage back in the Late eighties the one I drove had the older type back wheels with two U BOLTS keeping them on lovely tractor

Lovely tractor, she looks quick with the bigger tyres. I think the ship has saled on keeping it original btw. Keep it working they weren't built to sit in the shed.

Lovely tractor would love to own it , would prefer the original exhaust though

[@garyconnolly5071]

It’s a bit of a theme on the farm Ethan - all of the tractors have stainless steel exhausts!

Clutch will give problems, likewise the shaft that takes the live pto from the flywheel. Enjoy a great classic.
