ihatepoundland Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Feel like you've been neglected MF fans? This one was really special, it would have been spotless if a bird had not decided to poop on its left side Very tidy MF1200 (anyone here like these ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Is that not the wrong grille on the 590 yep it's got the wrong grill for the age of the tractor that was from one of the later models then for the 200 & 600 series masseys . still looks great though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 by the look of the cab from the pic you took it isn't in concours condition the front badge is missing , got the triangles but the sticker has gone , the cab is in need of refitting , & the hyd lift arms are showing wear ie the paint is worn away, although the arms are pinned to a different hole , the door handle isn't as it should be , the rear light lenses are sparex replacements not original, but i daresay you can no longer buy the original style lenses any more , the front cab marker lights / indicators are non original & of course it's got the wrong grill. even so a concours restorationist would have not let that show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 i'd be surprised if you can still get the original style grill anymore sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 would have been worth the hunt after that much work though eh mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 finding one in good condition would be the hardest part sean , as usually the top clip wore loose & fall out they'd go under the wheels before you'd know about it , i think i've ploughed two in at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
