got a triangle badge here for you from a 500 series if yer interested ? sure we could come to some arangement  ;)

the beastie looks in fine fettle there F-P ,just make sure the water pump bearings & seals are ok as these tractors were prone to wear & leaks  apart from that nothing else i know of to seriously go wrong with it . keep the backend filter & pump serviced regulay as these also can give problems

you may also want to fit a full set of wheel weights all round to stop it from bouncing too much & it gives it a bit more stability 

how'd you get on with the steering , did you start off duck-shuffling  :D :D

well impressed ,hope yer happy with it  as it looks the part  :) :)

Cheers Marcus....

The wheels are full of water I've since discovered so no need for the wheel weights!!

It's got a slight water leak that I've discovered on the water pump so that needs changing.

All the bodywork is nice and solid..... I think one of the first jobs will be to sand blast it and give it a new Jacket.

I've not worked out how to lift the three point linkage yet, I think there is something missing there...  :-\

The wiring looks to be in pi$$ poor state, I will need to have a good look at that sometime soon.

As for the steering, it seems a bit strange but I've driven all wheel steer machines before so I'll soon be driving with confidence.

PM me about the badge

Sounding good FP. I'm sure you'll have a few hours of good fun working on it...... :) :) :)

Does it have a radio?

Speakers are there but no radio...... yet!

seeing as it's got a 5th wheel fitted the hydraulics may not have been used for a while so the pump may be stuck (unlikely) try a pressure test on the spools by trying the leavers, pull on them till it sounds strained ,if that works the pump should be fine but a filter & oil change would be adviseable.

also check the pivot pins for wear,as well as the drive shaft UJ's.

i don't think these were fitted with a triangle badge as it's got the big capital MF letters on the front , if it was fitted then it would be the bigger 2000series type but i will look out the 500 one from the shed if you're still interested .

I can physically lift them up mjb.......... There looks to be a lever down the left hand side of the rear gearbox mounted on a cover plate with two pipes/hoses coming from it, there isn't anything connected to the lever so I wondered if it was to do with this.  :-\

I'll have a better look tomorrow and see if I can see whats what with the hoses etc.

Did you get a copy of 'Chavtor' mag :D::) ::)

blasting would be good and a new coat, you gonna go for red again or maybe yellow?? (or green to wind us MF fans up)  :D :D :D::) ::)

That looks great Doc... bet your beaming like a Cheshire cat...!

Have you got the Drivers Manual & Workshop Manual with it?  if not I'll see if i can source as i think i know where there is a set lurking in a dusty old farm filing cabinet... where the tractor has long since departed this mortal coil.
