Buying Advice Can't find a Ford 770 loader

[greenispeace]

Anyone with any leads or tips on a Ford 770 FEL, your help very much appreciated. I'm located in WV and own a '82 Ford 1700 4wd. I have a Ford 201 snow plow on the front now I'd like to sell once I find a 770. Thanks.

I'm in a same pickle as you're in. I looked high and low to no avail. There are many options on new loader with much better joy-stick option and adaptor kit for 1700. Koyker is good one to be had but between $3500 to $4000 is somewhat prohibitive with that vintage tractor. Best deal I have seen is 1700 with a loader @ about $6000. If your loader work is simple and limited just like picking and dropping a load of manure then dirt scoop might not be a bad choice.

JC,

Also worth checking out would be a good used DuAl 105. It's about the same physical size as the Ford 770, as far as I can tell, but I believe it's built a little heavier and the lifting capacity may also be a bit more. I have a 105 on my 1510, and it's a good fit.

Of course, some of the veteran members here may be able to straighten me out if my comparisons are wrong.

Thanks for the advice, I'll keep an eye out for the DuAl 105. I've been keeping on eye on the web but in June for some reason I didn't and too late discovered a 770 in Tenn. that went for $300 at auction. Looked in good shape in photo. Snooze you loose.

I also need a FEL for my Ford 1700. I have a "NEW" Bush Hog FEL M146 without mounts, bucket, or hydraulics to sell or trade....I can not find the mounts for this model to fit my tractor. I suppose one could build them...

Have you tried World Wide Tractor Parts in Bellfontaine Ohio ? Long Lane Tractor in PA ?

I have a Ford 770 Loader still mounted to a Ford 1300 2wd. Tractor has a bad clutch, loader works fine but has a few leaks. $3000 for all or $2500 for the loader. Bryan 920-779-4468 text OK
