Lord Ferguson Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Oooo Ooooo Ooooo want want want... MF24... can you bid on it for me perhaps As for the 240... it's a nasty old Millat... so it's made of cheese anyway... offer them scrap money... that's all it's worth in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractortim Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 i looked at the 240 but it didn't look right perkins engine but somehow wasn't right not sure if i'll get there tommorow we'll see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 bugger , i take it you're off to walford cross today then i was given friday off but couldn't get today :'( that 24 would be fine on your 590 mate , after all it wasnt designed to be burried down to the frame . as for the 240 tim , it looks odd because it has the newer style 300 series hardnose grill not the more common 500 / 200 series style. it wasn't long after these style tractors came out , MF withdrew the MASSEY FERGUSON name from the tractors & the newer decal just read 240. i dont think it has a genuine perkins in it either , but a 'built under lisence' version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Indeed it's not a Perkins... the give away is the exit point for the air intake... it's made by Millat of India... they are junk... I've seen new ones sell for £5,500 which says it all really. They are always on eBay and rarely even sell... my advice... your garge pole... keep it well away from this horrible thing. As Marcus says.... the fact that MF made them remove their name from the product says it all really \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
