Answer? Mate the back end of a Massey Ferguson tractor with Multi Power to the front of a Bedford wagon. Which gearbox did they use David?

Not sure on the exact specification of the gearbox but the back end is out of a 100 series I believe with Multipower gearing inside. Stand to be corrected though. It even has a very crude three point linkage fitted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tractor Twitcher Posted April 25, 2021 Author Share Posted April 25, 2021 A few photos of some of contractor Colin Martinson's fleet of New Holland combine harvesters I photographed and wrote about in 2019. He currently runs 12 New Hollands and a lone Case IH CT5080 which is to all intents and purposes a New Holland TX68 in disguise. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
