Have an 87 Ford tractor w a 7710 model motor. Motor starts but has water in the oil. Have been told that this model creates air bubbles which can cause cylinder deterioration. Has anyone else experienced this problem and can it be repaired.

Water can be in the oil from a variety of causes.
Find the source first.
Yes it can be repaired. Depending on severity, could be cost of a head gasket up to a new short engine and turbo, especially if you continue to run it with water in the oil. I believe they are prone to cracking the blocks, possibly down to stresses from the design, where the crankcase is part of the frame. They got around this problem with the "criss-cross" blocks which were stiffer. I would have thought yours was late enough to have that later casting.

I think '83 was the year they updated the block with the external ribbing. The stated purpose was to reduce small vibrations which were supposed to cause a super accelerated air bubble which led to cylinder perforation. Ford always recomended using coolant conditioner and changing the coolant every 2 years to prevent this problem. That said, there are indeed many other sources of coolant migrating to the oil. Have someone look into it and find the problem, before thinking the worst. If cylinder perforation is the problem, it can sometimes be repaired by sleeving the block. HTH.
