stapelopfordson Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Amazing to see what MF has produced through the years. How do you get all these brochures, by searching on Ebay or do you have a good network of MF-idiots Just curious. Keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 Gavalar... do you have these two Standen Brochures mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 Some MASSIVELY interesting MF internal documents (78 pages in total) issued to DP's (Dealer Principals) during mid 71 detailing the changes to the 5 line 100 series tractors and the planned introduction of the '8 line' models (148, 168 and 188) including specifications and changes... all top secret at the time. Thanks to Sean P for bagging this for me on eBay Bloody typical though... I spent an entire weekend writing up the launch and specifications of the 8 line tractors for T & M just two weeks ago :'( Not much of an exciting cover I'm afraid.. I would let you look inside... only.. it's confidential so I'd have to kill you afterwards :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
