jdc Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 is that the samwe 3065 that you recently did up then john?? It is the same on Sean....still going strong. Had her on the dynamometer the other day and giving 80 at the PTO which means she's still over the 85 when new. ahh right , but i know for a fact you're not the only one to have that reason MF lost a lot with the 61s and have never really reclaimed it up here, Perkins don't seem to be keeping up with the rest either.... nice pics whys the 399 cab red and back isnt bit ment to be silver That was one of the first (No 29) and had a raised tunnel in cab floor over gearbox. I think that they changed to silver with the Hi-Line (flat(ish) floor) cabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I just love old photographs. If you find any more when tidying up John post them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard de Florennes Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 The first picture (drilling) is my favourite and would have been my personal winner amongst any photo competition. That is pure style and look really how I imagined British farming when carpet farming here in Germany with my Britains Massey tractor and drill back in the 1970s!!!

nashmach Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I'd guess your drill is a narrow spacing 19 row version John Some lovely pictures there of your fleet - do you still have the 550 Would be interesting to see what you operated down through the years especially in tractors and combines if possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
