Brochure photo of a T-40a Super (4wd version) with a Laine cab.

Just the maker as far as I know

DT 75M scan and photo

Built by the Lipetsk tractor works in Russia. Fitted with an English built cab that was 'like' a Duncan. Powered by a 57hp 4 cylinder air cooled Vladimir enginer. Rumour has it that Deutz took a Vladimir engine and developed it further.

\ Sounds like you got a 'bad' one! Did you ever use it much? Would still be nice to see it cleaned up or maybe restored

This one hasn't had any trouble at all Some indirect injection MTZ-50/52 tractors and the replacement 500/520s and 570/572s etc. seemed to have a few problems with cylinder heads warping \ Would be nice to see yours restored! :

Sounds good

Spotted the 2 PMCs from the A14 on Saturday though There are a lot of potatoes around that area though so might be worth a look when harvesting starts

Will be interesting to see what they use Thanks The ones with the PMC & FMC were taken at Cotton near Stowmarket and the 2 PMCs at Bucklesham nr. Ipswich.

Very much so Though that's a bit obvious by my name 'Belarusfan'

I have the 2 Belarus 250s, and now the MTZ-82 as well I also have an Ursus C-335.

A scan from my literature collection of an approx. 1977 sales leaflet for the DT 75M. Also a photo from the real thing in the 70's at the Spalding? tractor trials. It was also later known as the Belarus 750. Hope this is of interest

If anyone wants any more photos of the high tips then just shout. Thanks for your kind comment. Sounds about right Interestingly FMC's operations in the USA were bought by the Oxbo corporation. Though why did FMC develop the PSC156, well all of their US machines for that matter, differently from the Fakenham built series? Maybe local conditions? Any idea when the beans will be harvested that you photographed the drilling kit from NH2?

I've never seen 1 working in real around here, only FMC/PMC

MTZ-82s were made by the Minsk Tractor Works of Belarus (MTZ = Minskii Traktornyi Zavod), imported and painted into the cream/red livery (all came out of factory plain red for export) and fitted with a Swedish built cab by then importer UMO Belarus of Letchworth. Not all 'Belarus' tractor were built at Minsk, for example the 165hp 1500 and 1507 were built by Kharkov in the Ukraine, the DT-75M crawlers were built by Volgograd (Russia) and the small 29hp 250s were built by the Vladimir Tractor Factory in Russuia.

....the other tractors. If anyone would like any larger photos for model making then please ask More photos of the viners will be on my site in the next few days.
