Hey guys!
Been a while since I was around but I need some advice and/or experiences.
I've found a sweet deal on a 1987 Ford 3910.
The tractor looks great, runs great and everything works as it should.
There are no leaks at all.
The only hesitation I have is this tractor has a 6 speed transmission.
My local Ford dealer says they've never seen nor heard of a 3910 with a 6 speed,
all the 3910's they've ever dealt with had an 8 speed. (Dual Range or Synchromesh)
I saw on Tractordata.com that a 6 speed was available starting with the series II
in 1986.
Does anyone have any experience/knowledge of the 6 speed 3910?
Any pros or cons on the 6 vs 8 speed?
I really like the tractor, the price fits my budget but this transmission question has me a
little bit hesitant until I find out more.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
