reqen Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Hi guys! I show you my new conversion. It´s an EBRO 684, one of the first models than the brand EBRO builted wiht a perkins 6 cyl. motor. It had 6 cyl and 84hp. = 684. This model was builted since 1970 to 1973, and then, it was reemplaced for the EBRO 684-E, wiht a new design blue and other bonnet. The rear axle is similar to the fordson supermajor, with transmission 6 / 2... This is the front page of his brochure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 thats a very nice build, still seems strange seeing the ebro badge on the front with all that classic mf 100 series styling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reqen Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) Thanks JanMF, Tractorman810 and robbo... JanMF, the ebro 684 had a 6 cylinder perkins motor, and the rear axle was the same that fordson supermajor, but more big. It only was builted and commercialized in Spain, from 1970 to 1973. The MF1080 had a 4cylinder perkins motor, and the rear axle is different, it was from France, but was an American model. Is totally different to Ebro 684. Tractorman810, if you see the Ebro 684 next to a MF 100 series, only seems in the outside appearence. The joint-venture between MF and Motor Ibérica in 1966 is the reason for this similar look to MF100 series. But chassis, motor, front and rear axle, hydraulics etc... are all differents. And the bonnet, is longer that MF100 series, for cover the 6 cyl. motor, and more width.The central piece beetwen the lights are more width than the MF100 series. This is for get the width bonnet similar to fordson super major. This model was one of the first big tractors that were builted in Spain. Then, in 1973, Motor Ibérica changed the MF100 series look for not confuse the MF tractors builted by EBRO, wiht the EBRO tractors, that were totally differents. This photos show the first ebro range (outside appearence like the mf 100 series), and the second ebro range (-E series, in red or blue colors), with a genuine design from ebro. How you can see, only change the bonnet, the front grill and the colour: A lot of this latest units (ebro E-series blue) were sent to Europe in the middle of 70´s, and also were commercialized there. (ebro 350, 460, 160E, 470 y 684E...) Thanks for yours cumpliments. Best regards! Edited August 15, 2012 by reqen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
