MJB1 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 the 500 series tractors were originally offered with an 8 speed gearbox or multi power as an option. on later models the 8 speed was phazed out in favor of the 3stick 12speed gearbox with multi power still offered as an option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rorsday Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 For some reason, MF never produced a UK sales brochure for the later red cab 595, although many of the European countries, including France, Germany and Scandinavia did produce leaflets for the late version.

BigX500 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Does any body have the brochure for the 592. And one for Mark why do some MF have the exhaust at the side of the bonnet and some through the bonnet even with same models puzzled me for years.

Lord Ferguson Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Not a clue I'm afraid... other than (and I'm assuming) it was deemed as better to have the exhaust on the outside of the line of sight.. kind of a fashion.. that's assuming it's later models that were moved outwards of course... if not then that's my theory up in smoke :D Sadly... the 592 is one that eludes me.. I've had my hands on one at John Farnworths house... red cab and silver actually... so I know they exist - that's got to be one of the only MF tractor models I can't cover in my collection at the moment... I've even sat in a real one as well a la Cheffins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurodeere Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Did the exaust position not change due to engine/manifold design changes? The front grill changed at the same time I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 They all had round headlights Paul... with the exception of the 595 mate It was only the manifold casting that altered the position of the exhaust for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 any chance marky of all the red cabbed brochures being posted up,i think the 550,565 and 590 4wd were photos on a hardstand,the 575 2wd working with a drill,575 4wd ploughing and the 590 2wd towing a drill over a cattle grid,would be nice to see them all,PLEASE marky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 They all had round headlights Paul... with the exception of the 595 mate It was only the manifold casting that altered the position of the exhaust for sure i think if you look at the 575 red cab 4wd brochure it shows the exhaust still in the bonnet and old grill with square lights,then came the updates i thought as my last post said,again i think,but farely sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rorsday Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I have a sales leaflet for the red cab MF 592. I think it was only produced for the French market. Quite an interesting variation on the normal MF 500 Series theme. As most probably know, there was also an MF 560. Suspect Lord F has this one already catered for in the collection.

Paul... I've never paid much attention to the headlights mate... that's very interesting.. I wonder if it was a French thing then... could it be that there IS a difference between French and UK buillt red cabs after all then \ Ah... they have uploaded already.. that's good..
