Lord Ferguson Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 I finally had 5 minutes today when I wasn't at bloody work to stick Penny's numbers on.... Before anyone says... yes yes I know... the X is a little on the wonk Takes after my ploughing I guess :D .... Penny is now back to her original way of displaying her number.. and the even better news is that I can now tip her seat up as mother nature MF intended.. Rain off... Oi.. get off :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 Oh... and I'm not sure if I've mentioned this in here before... but I managed to find a VERY rare, original MF tractor cover... can't say any more as I'll be writing about it in CMFE when I get 5 minutes for the 'our tractors' bit I had to dig pretty deep for that... but who's seen another one recently.. I don't know of another one that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 Unk... Marcus very kindly reminded I'd clean forgotton about Mrs F Marcus... They were available as an option until around 1960-61 I do believe (I have traced them before through the price lists I have.. I'll have a look again when I 'pen my notes' for CMFE magazine) ... It stemmed from the Ferguson days where they did the same cover with the Ferguson logo on it. I do have a mate who has one of those and he made the mistake of washing it and the logo came clean off ... poor bloke was gutted :'( Rick... 3 now.... could do with a 4th... but Mrs F did say she'd remove two of my most treasured possessions if I did :'( I'm not sure if I could still pick up a pint of beer with my THUMBS missing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
