James Joe Dewar Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Yes, A nice looking 4x4 Massey 188, with a decent looking rear linkage, But it doesn't appear to have a top linkage, €59.90 = £51.90 Regards Joe 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justy 46 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 So many different versions now of the 188. Would make more since if they badged it a 178, just to mix it up a little. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPN Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I got 175 decals last year to convert mine. Would much prefer if Replicagri made a 175 themseoves (without the air filter - not worried about the wheelbase) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 If you go by some peoples comments else where the model can only be a 168 178 or 188 and only in 4wd format as its got its 4wd box inline , its about 3 mm in scale terms and an absolute ar5e to join the chassis , let alone re alinging pipes ect if you do want to cut it out to get a true 2wd chassis . So stick to the decals is what i say , shame that they didnt get the uk style mf flexi and delux cabs offered over Europe , we might just have got one then at some point 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirTainly Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I bought the 845xl as it's pretty close to my real 785xl, and no one seems to want to do the Doncaster tractors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHITESNAKE01 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Hi all, There are some specific differences between (French or German built) 844's - 845's - 856's and the British 85-series (in this case a 885XL). - Mudguards on the cab are different - Gearshifting-handles are on the left side in the 85-series - Bonnet is quite different - Exhaust is different - Probably the wheelbase is different, may be shorter at the 85-series. In my (humble) opinion oit's about time some manufacturer should start producing the UK-built series of IH-tractors, since they not only were sold in the UK, but alos on the mainland. But what's my opinion.....????? Keep (y)our fingers crossed!! BR Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Yep found that out with the help of 844john on here, there are a lot of differences and you are correct in that the 85 series does have a shorter wheelbase Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
