Who has had good (or bad) experiences with repair manual downloads? I currently need a set of manuals for 7700 & 7710 Ford tractors as I have one of each that needs some attention. Each time in the past I've searched for shop manuals for different machines, I seem to find a lot of shady bootleg stuff with bad reviews. Any trustworthy sources out there?
Here are two places I have used: https://new-holland.servicemanualvault.com/New-Holland-7710-Tractor-Service-Manual.html These are PDF only. It has been a little since I got one from them but I don't remember them being a problem. I don't think they have one for the 7700. https://peacefulcreek.com/?s=ford+7700&post_type=product&type_aws=true These are print only, which I like better. A lot of different options on manuals and different bundles you can get. I really like these people, but they are not PDF. Hope this helps.
I think the second one is in your state!
I did order a manual for the 10 series ford tractors from service manual vault, got it quick and it was just $11. It's over 2500 pages, looks thorough. I didn't find one for the 7700 yet, I kind of like the downloads better. Wonder why I'm not finding as much for the 7700? They are a very common tractor around here, many of them still in use in the hayfields.
Tried your local dealer? You'd be suprised sometimes they might actually help a guy out with the older iron.
I have purchased manuals from Joemanual. He is cheap and has good quality downloads. I found his website a long time ago in an internet search.
