dalethecaptain Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Im loving this conversion. Its a great job, well done. Im also liking the MF20D sales leaflet, I like the highway models MF made and I was after building something like this for myself with an MF loader or rear PTO mounted compressor. Can anyone tell me if the MF20D and the MF550 have the same Perkins A3.152 motor (I'm not sure it was this 47hp variant), and are they actually the same tractor?

Lord Ferguson Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 It was indeed the AD3.152 engine.... but as you've so rightly pointed out.. it wad the S version with the wonderfully crisp DPA pump of the 550. Now then... take a look below.. and get your building kit out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalethecaptain Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Phwoarr! Now we are talking. Did MF buy the compressor unit on this model off the shelf or was it a full custom mounted unit made by another company (Atlas, Ingersoll, Broom & Wade)? I always remember playing around (read: pretending to drive) on a larger one of these when I was a kid and it had an Ingersoll Rand three stage unit with a huge air receiver. Where these also offered with the option of an MF loader? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I suspect they were made by Hydrovane.... I know they certainly made the earlier ones. I suspect it would have been a pretty standard piece of kit really with just the physical mounts being the only customer part. They certainly were offered with a loader... they branded some of the models tractaire I believe \ ... It looks like this picture has it mounted on an MF20 (guessing by the size of the wheels and the fact that it's a sirocco rigid clad cab) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 so now then mark all you have to do now is find a yellow clad flexi cab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Juts realised that I've poste the wrong picture.. that's a fibreglass cab made by the duple coach company (Graham of G & M recently informed me who made them by the way) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 thinking about it mark , maybe the one i saw at ron greets was originally fitted with a rigid clad ? after all it's the same frame . just because it had a flexi cab roof , doesn't mean it's original Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eurodeere Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Wasn't there a gap between the phasing out of the fibre glass cab and the introduction of the rigid cab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
