Tommy Gough Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Some readers of classic tractor may have read about this but for those that dont read it, here is some information. A group of students on the land based technology course at lackham recently stripped down and refurbished a Massey Ferguson 165 over a 24hr period. The tractor was donated by the family of the late flight lieutenant Neil Cox. The project was sponsered by AGCO, who also donated all parts needed for the rebuild. All sponsor money raised is being donated to the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund, along with the money raised by the sale of the tractor (20th of October at Cheffins vintage sale if anyone is interested) Now for some pictures All stripped down Work begins Room of parts Busy busy busy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
