Ford/eva 1000 series
2 models in this series
Ford/EVA 1000-series – the 6.500 S (A) and 7400: six-cylinder diesel of 6,160 cm³, 73.5 to 82.4 kW, unladen weight 3,650 to 3,750 kg
Ford built its European farm tractors of this generation at plants in Basildon, England, and Antwerp, Belgium. The 6.500 S and 7400 types of this range carry six-cylinder engines of identical displacement and thus sit in the top power segment of Ford's model range of the time; the S suffix on the 6.500 S marks a higher-specification version.

The register lists here 2 versions with 73.5 to 82.4 kW from six-cylinder engines of 6,160 cm³ displacement and 370 Nm of torque, with unladen weights from 3,650 to 3,750 kg, lengths from 3,900 to 4,520 mm, widths from 1,950 to 2,030 mm and a height of 2,400 mm.
With the same displacement in both types and an output spread from around 73 to 82 kW, the range marked two development stages of a shared six-cylinder engine at the top of Ford's line-up for large arable farms and agricultural contractors, competing there with comparable models from Massey Ferguson and International Harvester in the same power class.
When buying used, check operating hours and condition of the six-cylinder engine, the condition of the clutch and gearbox under heavy load, rust on mudguards and bonnet, and the tightness of the hydraulics. Equally important is the condition of the tyres and brakes. Spares for this Ford range come through dealers specialising in classic tractors.
