unkelfergus Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 A good friend of mine down here in sussex has just purchased a massey ferguson 788 combine(tanker),for a restoration project. It was purchased somewhere in Norfolk and lorried down here last week.It came with quite an abundance of spare parts although one vital part,to make it "complete", was missing.......the operators handbook. Is there anyone out there who can help, who knows the whereabouts of a manual,or is willing to let a copy be scanned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He spent an hour or three this morning excavating through one of his many stores,and hey presto, he found a massey 788 box!! So, there we are,job done,arm bitten off........(35 quid for the whole set,and postage),and a blooming numpty to boot!. Many thanks Marky, I will be posting again shortly for some bale wrapper help. Pssst, .....Marky, I will send you a drink up with cerin at the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
