2745
 
That's what he told me after he picked up the tractor. I had repaired the drive seals in the DP15 injection pump for him that were leaking. It ran about 1/2 hour then suddenly got water in the oil, MF 2775 640 V-8. Heads were pulled, but still have not found the leak for certain. 2000 series were not one of MF's better ideas...

No, can't say I'm looking for any 2000 series MF's right now.
Only one that might interest me someday down the road would be a very late model low houred 2805 with 8 speed tranny and elwood MFWD.
However thanks for posting this tractor.......very different w/o cab!
 
Many years ago a guy I know traded his 1100 in for a new 2640 (The European replacement for The 1100) and he always maintained that the old 1100 was a much better pulling tractor.
 
Dad wanted to trade his 1100 one time years ago, my brother and I reminded him how much more the 2705 had cost him. He kept the 1100, got rid of the 2705..

There are guys out there that praises and thinks the sun rises and sets on the MF 2000 series tractor! Nothing wrong with that......glad they have got along great with these tractors all the years!
We had a MF 2775 with 24 speed for 8 years and never had an issue with it but transmisson always scared us! Cab was awesome and that 640 V8 wouldn't quit pulling! Needed MFWD from factory!
 
MF dealer I get parts from said the very late 2705 had changes to the MP clutch pack that held up well. In the past I've had 2 2675s, a 2745 and 2805 three speed clutch assemblies apart. Dad had a 2705 that never was as reliable as the 1100D still is. I tell the 2000 series owners around here to run intermediate as much as possible, no oil is used to lock that range so the seals last longer, hopefully!!

I don't know much about the workings of the 24 speed transmisson, only thing I know is it doesn't take much abuse!
We always clutched when shifting between low-intermediate-hi powershift ranges when on road......have no idea if this helped or not!? Never downshifted on hard pavement either......again don't know if that helped!?
We bought ours with 900 hrs on it and sold it @ 3,800 hrs......never had the transmission out of it......just one clutch job. Thinking the auger wagon helped speed the clutch failure up considerably! When we traded ours the hydraulic/transmisssion light would stay on at idle.....scared us! We traded ours for a JD 7800 MFWD that was an excellent tractor! The Deere did the same work as the 2775......with less horsepower.......goes to show ya what MFWD can do!
 

Yeah, I've heard some say use the intermediate range as much as possible with them tractors.......I'm sure if your very familiar with these transmisson a guy could run these tractors forever with out tearing one up!
Only one I'd ever consider is an 8 speed one just for simplicity sake.......sure you loose gears but I think the have enough low end torque to probably muscle through some of the tough spots!?
