THEBRITFARMER Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Could it have been specially comissioned or maybe to mark 25,000 units sold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEBRITFARMER Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Just had a look on McCormick website couldn't find anything but in 1982 The manufacture of construction equipment ceases at Wheatley Hall Road and preparations begin to see the return of tractor production to Doncaster Plant. Maybe then in preparation for 2007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 "McCormick has unveiled a limited run of Diamond Edition commemorative tractors to celebrate 60 years of production at its Doncaster home in South Yorkshire, England. McCormick?s CX105 (left) and MTX150 Diamond Edition tractors celebrate 60 years of production at the company?s Doncaster home. In addition to the distinctive paint scheme, the tractors have an enhanced specification that includes air conditioning, a Radio/CD/MP3 player and driver?s equipment kit. Just 60 examples each of the 102hp CX105 and 152hp MTX150 models will be available in the UK to the one-off specification, which includes a special silver and dark grey paint scheme, a chromium plated exhaust heat shield and silver-highlighted steering wheel in addition to an enhanced package of standard equipment."

NewHolland2 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I know the one you mean mart was it the case CX100 to celebrate a dealers 2yrs or something It may have been mate......I had a look through this year's Classic Tractor's and couldn't find it so it must have been further back so probably not a McCormick...... \ ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IH885XLMAN Posted July 31, 2006 Author Share Posted July 31, 2006 the view i got to see (no photo)looked identical to andys pic .I also looked on the Mac website and found nothing i will be looking at this model at the oswestry show though as its bound to be there looks quite snappy maybee they're copieing balsidons silver 7810 incidentaly this isnt the first time doncaster has made a silver tractor i wish there was more info on the silver 674 probebly 1977 era I think rory is the man to dig some info up on that particular tractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IH885XLMAN Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 I'm sure I've seen one before, possibly in the "News" section of Classic Tractor...... I'll have a look and check later on...... ;) mart i remember a one off CASEIH CX dimond white edition something to do with a david brown dealer way back in 1999 in washington or boston in this country (i get the two names mudled up sorry coz of USA) now it could be tractor & machinery october -november or even a little later than that but it looked a nice tractor i think the same dealer comisioned a gold ih 784 and did a dimond white case ih 885 xl in a later news articel either in classic tractor or tractor & machinery :'( :'( :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 The Case CX you refer to was in a 2004 Classic in the News section and was traded in with Robert Crawford for a Renault. The other 2 were dealer specials and were featured in CT I think Hayton was the dealer's name and if I remember correctly they were in Cumbria.
