The 8000 was Ford's 1st 100+ h.p. tractor. Rated 105 h.p. and made from '68 to '72. The 401 engine is well proven, but the transmissions used in the 8000 leaves something to be desired. Too easy to bend/brake shift forks. If it shift OK now, and you aren't rough with it, it should be OK though. Make sure it will pull with the dual power in both high and low, after the oil is warmed up. Also make sure it steers OK after it's warmed up. Check that the rear wheel hubs fit the axle tightly. 7700 is newer ('77 to '81), and a good tractor. Rated 84 h.p. Again, make sure it pulls in both high and low once the oil is warmed. Cylinder wall cavitation can be a problem with either model, if coolant conditioner hasn't been used regularly.

I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
