BC Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 How old is that particular tractor Rick ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 What a wonderful pice of kit pops... That machine is circa 1974.. it replaced the 1800 (released in 1971).. The hitch on the back is an MF 8 rapid coupler... very popular in the states... never took off over here for some strange reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allis8550 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 What a wonderful pice of kit pops... That machine is circa 1974.. it replaced the 1800 (released in 1971).. The hitch on the back is an MF 8 rapid coupler... very popular in the states... never took off over here for some strange reason If you look closely Marky, it's not the same as the MF 8 ,very similar but not the same. Note the tubular top rail and the straight, not angled sides, probably an aftermarket hitch. And of course the 1500/1800 series tractors in the UK were delivered without a three-point linkage and fitted with a linkage in this country that was designed by Dowdswell.

Lord Ferguson Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I think the later models were like that Allis... I'll see if I can dig out a pic tonight... I've only got the brochure on the early 1,000 series coupler in my collection Rare to find one with linkage in the states too I reckon... I wonder who made the NA linkage - do you think that would have been Dowdswell as well perhaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 the first pic is a 1974 and the second is a 75 prices asking were 3500pounds and 7000 pounds each shipping to UK 2 million quid :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
