Ford 7700

[newhollandnut]

Just purchased a ford 7700 and have plenty of suitcase weights but I need the weight bracket for the front. Have a pretty large farm salvage yard close to me and they are looking but don?t have any in stock. Thought I would try here. I have bought somethings from guys on here and would rather support someone on here if they had one they were willing to part with than buy one off an internet site. Any help appreciated. Email is open as well

Are you familiar with Anderson tractor supply in Bluffton Ohio? They had a pile of them for Fords less than 6 months ago last time I was there. I have been looking for one for my Ford 5000 and cannot find the right one either.

Are you looking for one for a 5000 utility or rowcrop? I could take pictures and measurements off my 7000, if you need the utility version.
Haven't looked in a while, but there were a couple on the Eau Claire craigslist earlier this spring...think one was for a 67/7700.

I need one for a 1974 5000 utility.

This is actually my 7600, but 5000's use the same bracket. All parts are 1/2" thick.
A, outside to outside, is 22 3/8"
B is 4 1/4"
C is 2 1/4"
D is 11 1/2"
E, outside to outside, is 5 1/2"
F is 3 1/4" (not critical) x 4 1/2"
G is a 1 1/2" wide strip, welded in 1/4" from the bottom, with the the rear slightly higher, for the bolts in the weights to tighten against.

2nd picture didn't show for some reason.
