Renze, Forterra, Jeetze ... thanks for your info and advice

How do I know the generation of a 6610... is it based on the year of manufacture? And what is a spaghetti shift?
Weve never had any trouble getting parts for a Ford both second hand and new parts.
Why are the Italians involved?
Ive got 4 full garage mechanics within 10 miles who could dismantle and fix any ford but would not have any experience of Zetors... for that Id have to go at least 50 miles. Although if I bought the 7745 Id get the workshop manual and expect a local to be able to follow it if needed....would that be feasible?
What do you mean many went green in contrast with zetor?

People say that the 1980s fords like the 6610 have thin engine block walls that become porous because of the metal used at the time(UK steel strike so they used stuff from India) was not great and the way that ford just took the block of a 5000 and put a bigger engine in it.
Ive heard that zetors are soft ... would this be true?

What should I look out for on the 7745?
I want a list of tests so I know the tractor is OK
Would it be easy on diesel?
Has it got a wet or dry clutch and which is easier to maintain?
Is it as prone to the brake issues that other zetors are?

When stopped in neutral and putting it in gear you have to pump the clutch a couple of times to be able to get it in gear (without grinding) ...why is this? Is it something to be worried about?

Thanks again
