Ford 7810 4WD Series III Restoration, just a slide slow of pictures of my 7810 that I restored here in West Cork recently. Rust cut out and replaced with new metal, sandblasted and painted.
Nice work friend. Used to have one on the farm many years ago. And, my Dad was at Harper Adams and great friends with a chap called Martin Brown who was the instigator of the 7810 project at Ford.
Its hard to tell how long it took, as I was working on it on Saturdays and evenings over a few years, but I could take a break from it for a few months from time to time. I made sure that I taped up any pipes well before sand blasting it. Fellas told me not to sandblast the engine as it can cause problems, but I haven't had any problems. Its the only way to clean it and do it properly.
@@williammaybury4986 Right right, a long time so. Sanding material getting into bearings in the front axle and especially around your pto as well is what I would be worried about. Thanks for the reply anyway, hope it keeps going for you now.
Mine is destroyed by former owner. He lost gravels back from the front bucket back on the front fairing, headlights and air box, then I'd noticed oil into the radiator! and then the left door of the cabin , missing R&L lower rear arms with balls+seat+red lights+Interior Fittings of the cabin. I'm looking for someone around Basildon Essex.
It was a small 3 phase mig welder that was used. All 2 pack paint, it was the Turbo paint that they sell in Crowley chemicals in Cork. Its expensive but supposed to be good.
We made them ourselves. We bought an 8x4 sheet of 1.5mm steel. Cut and shaped them as needed. We bought a shrinker/stretcher. This allows us to to curve the steel around the corners. Without a shrinker/stretcher it would if been very hard to do the corner pieces. I think they were about €400. We also have a hand folder and hand guillotine, which makes it easier also. You can buy the sections from tractor cab specialists now, they weren't available when I was doing up my tractor.
Ah sound thanks ,thinking of getting 7810 and wandering what work would be involved in doing cab of one , good cabs that don’t need to be touched don’t exist for sensible money 😂
@@patrickkelly1055 unless you fork out stupid money, be prepared to strip it down and get out the welder. your better off buying one with the rust visable. some amount of yokes filled in and sprayed over. few years in and your in trouble again. The cab isnt too bad, but the doors can be alot of work depending on how bad they are.
@@patrickkelly1055 you can get them spurious for €450 I think, but a fella told me before to stay a million miles away from them... that they are a disaster..
