Lord Ferguson Posted June 17, 2011 Author Share Posted June 17, 2011 I wrote to MF America in the late early 80's and they kindly sent me a big stack of brochures... This first one was one of those - I think I've read it to death Same thing... earlier brochure... And even earlier still.... The MF35's predecessor... and again...

Light Land Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Arh there she goes,the MF35 windrower thanks Marky.I've used one of them in Canada (up the road from the other green,Adam.) Realy light flimsey construction and knocked the seed out of the crop I recall.The belts stoped after a while because a bit of green would work it's way under them and you'd have a pile crop to pull out if you were'nt watching it like Ben with a rude movie.

stehos Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 By the look of things MF made some very nice looking brochures, I think I might be tempted to start collecting those red stuff also . Maybe one day the Ford and MF group may reunite again like in 1939... Guess not Anyway buddy: keep them showing to us! Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 A few more new arrivals now scanned and added to my collection... First off.. a bit mundane.. BUT, as always, very necessary in any comprehensive collection - in fact.. quite rare this side of the Atlantic Ocean... anyway... shut up Marky and just flipping well post them (I hear you cry) This one is a nice thick.. 25 or so pages and full of interesting stuff for the rowcrop farmer.... Jan 1967 by the looks of things And this I think is VERY rare... both sides of the world... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 And then the not so mundane... this cost me dearly but I just had to have it I've found very little literature in the past on the MF5200 tractor built by McConnell... this was a mailshot that was sent out which is about the size of the Times Newspaper when they first launched the 5200 in the farming press. This is really interesting... it's actually an MF4800/4900 that's been 'shopped' to look like an MF5200... I assume befor they actually had one to photograph - the code says they only produced 5,000 of this particular brochure, which I believe, given the Country and subject matter, makes it very rare indeed. I'll post the later version of this so you can see what I mean shortly... Nearly forgot this one... Tell the American farmer how to convert his drawbar implements into 'Pressure Control compliant' machines 1963 scanned now... and counting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
