Marky mate, got a question, when did they stop Making the 240 as i got farmers trader and there is a 2007 one in there  ??? Also did only some have the gold bage then mate, one on ebay the other night, really scruffy got £3000 when i looked last, just wounded if that had the same badge.

That scruffy one had the same badge Ad.... they made the 240 from 79 to about 1993 I believe.. possibly beyond mate...

The gold badge was only fitted in 79 - then it changed to the same 3 triangles badge in red.... then in December 81 it had a facelift to the new square badge (as on the 600 series).... sometime later it got the new shape badge and yet another facelift... I'd guess about 1988-89  :-\

The 2007 240 is Indian made I believe mate.... it's far far removed from the 240 now and by all accounts, a pile of pants... MF have removed their name from it that must tell you something I guess  :-\ - you can still pick up a new one for around £6k now even  :o

A little update for today... Mum and Dad moved house 6 months ago and I dropped my linkbox off to put the cardboard in when they had their new kitchen and furniture delivered... so... I thought today it was about time I picked it up...

Out with Mavis... and over to mum and dads to collect the box... back to my house for some 'tinkering time' (free'd off a check chain adjuster and made a make shift door strap out of cableties... new ones found and on order) ...

Back to work and ready to bale he cardboard with Frankie...
