I have a 7711. Strong, heavy tractor. Some things to look out for: Original clutches wore out quickly. Replacements improved. To see if clutch is about worn out, pull pto clutch lever up, put pto in gear with lever on floor, have tractor in gear, let foot clutch out. If it jerks badly, clutch is bad. Another sign is gears clashing when up shifting when tractor is rolling. Transmission is not synchronized, but with good clutch there is little gear grinding.
When tractor is rolling do not engage differential lock as this can break rear axle.
I don't like the way the pto clutch lever is facing and in fact on recent models the pto lever is changed to the proper direction. Anyway, on mine I found that if I removed the cover around the pto and hand brake lever, I could depress the pto lever catch with my forefinger and avoid twisting my elderly wrist around 90 degrees.
The centrifugal engine oil filter is neat, just remove the assembly and wash when changing oil. No filter to buy.

Good luck.
