Tractorman810 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 well i have seen 590's with those 595 rear arches, but never any smaller than that??? in the range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 That's a French built export model Mark... for the German market only I believe. I think it was to comply with their road regulations mate. Looks to be in good order as well. It's a little known fact that all UK and French built 500 series models were supplied right from the start of production with a two door cab for some export markets such as Scandinavia. We only got it in 1979 when I suspect Massey Ferguson wanted to rationalise their production parts lists if the truth be told. Some 500's also had an escape hatch roof where I believe the entire roof would come off in the event of the tractor falling through ice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Juts noticed she's a three sticker as well... Synchro 12 box .. so one of the very last built Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractortim Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 its as tidy as it looks too wouldn't mind it for myself but those wings just don't do it for me i'm afraid only just down the road from me as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Would the extra bits at the rear be bolt ons to the normal arches we normally see??? Could always remove them if they were Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDFord Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 Thanks for the info Marky. I suppose it's been imported from mainland Europe then. How can you tell it's a Frenchie ? Looks very tidy indeed as you say Tim, I always likes the look of 575/590's especially on "wide" 30" rears. Go on Lord F get the cheque book out - you know you want to.....

Lord Ferguson Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I'm pretty sure those wings were never fitted at Banner Lane Mark ... as for the cheque book... I've just been threatened with castration by the lovely Mrs F... I came home with a new quad bike the other week and I'd somehow 'forgotten' to mention that I'd taken the money from our joint buliding socitey account to pay for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
