Niels Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I do genuinly believe there were a lot more people selling sales literature at Zwolle. About 10 dedicated tables plus probably another 5-10 with some on the side next to models? You had to look careful though as some people had only 1 crate sometimes tucked underneath their table. When I went to Spalding last year there were maybe 4-5 people selling brochures? Can only recall Stuart Gibbard and Martin Rickatson selling purely brochures. Maybe the April show is a lot better?

Lord Ferguson Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 Actually Niels you could well be right mate... I can think of only about 4 brochure sellers at Spalding.... but Stuart Gibbards stand is usually worth the trip over alone I reckon ! .. I must have missed some of the sellers I think... it's all those 'Destledonk' sausages I keep eating.. they make you go blind in the end, so I have heard :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 Few more uploaded tonight.. Lovely old brochure from Italy 1965.... lists the new 100 series... it's so big it wont fit on my scanner bed and it STINKS of cigars :D Two baler brochures... similar to the UK versions... BUT.. these are export brochures with things like bale throwers in them.. French... MF135S .. NOT MF135 USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 Mundane... but necessary.... This is more my 'cup of tea' . early Australian stuff.. Aussie again.. This is for the French range for 1984... but I am sure you can read that too :D 1963 this time... MUCH more interesting.... many pages.. folds out and has the entire range for 1963 in it..

Lord Ferguson Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 German... USA... Boring old Powerpart stuff... but, once again, necessary as a record of MF marketing history In Australia spool valves were called 'remotes' finally for tonight... I've got this.. but this has a different cover image :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Nice additions Mark. Your right Stuart Gibbard's table is interesting and he has many many rare items which come with a rare pricetag as well . I reckon he gets a lot from old dealerships, farmers, contractors and the like? You'd be surprised how many have some up the attic. Went to a farmer today even that was very surprised to hear when i briefly enquired about brochures. They ran everything from Farmall to Ferguson, Ford and Fendt. Basically everything starting with an F! And he still had all the brochures for them as well up the attic! So they will be finding a cozy new home very soon luckily!

FordTractorCrazy Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 and again, great finds. Love the Australian brochures. I have only a couple old New Holland brochures (1950's era , before becoming Sperry-New Holland) from Australia and they always look fantastic.. Hard to describe, but it stands out from other stuff from the same era.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 Finally got the last of the MF560 tractor brochures (3 in total now)... this one is the best one as it's quitew a few pages Another French combine brochure... strange for MF to give it a letter as well... not sure what L actually means either.. I already hads this... I picked it up on my visit to Banner Lane back in 1979.. but I've warn it out so I replaced it with a crisper copy (kept the original for obvious reasons). Bit of Plant now.. rare Brazilian I think. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FordTractorCrazy Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 holy Massey Crazy Ferguson, that is one heck of an update... not just some, but plenty rare foreign stuff you found.. As always the 60-70's era stuff is the best looking! i'll take it that the forklift is an implement and not the complete tractor? (Ford made a forklift based on the Industrial 4000) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Plenty of new additions Mark. Interesting stuff amongst it. Think I will put my money on the combine harvesters. Still like them best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 the L on that combine number wouldnt mean "leveling" would it mate, have read somewhere that mf did do hill sider combines for a brief period, i guess most would have been main land europe sold anyway???
