Need some clarification on Ford tractors

[pharmvet]

2) Ive been looking at several local 7710 mfwd tractors. A few of them have the horizontally split rear back glass. Several have told me this is a tell tell sign that the tractor is an "English" tractor and that is is "less desirable". Whats the deal with "English" Ford tractors and exactly why are they "less desirable".

3) Would a TW5 possess the same qualities that seem to be so highly revered by die hard Ford men as the 7710??

I'd look for extra lower mount lights for a european model. I think that the split rear sliding window was an option over the single pane.

They normally only keep tractors for about 5000 hours max then they go to auctions and some come back here.

The TW series never showed the same reliability as the smaller series.

A horizontal split in the rear window of a 10 series or TW series I indicates a European spec tractor.
