MJB1 Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 bit of machinery for a bit now an MF 22 10 tonne trailer & typical of these trailers although surprised not to see a repaired drawbar it does show the signs of overloading i could load 12-13 tonnes of corn on these 10 tonners ,so easy to do but as you can see the chassis doesnt like it if you click to enlarge the 2nd pic you'll see the front quater of the chassis has bowed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 view of the cab preety good condition considering she's been stood up , no sign of mould on the seats & didn't smell musty,but much of the electrics have been gutted the grain tank, looks small now but considered cavernous in it's day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDFord Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Quite sad to see a once proud combine left to rot like that, but thats progress.

MJB1 Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 from what i gather mark , she was an outside girl all her life & that was her downfall . all those parts that had the paint taken off to come up to a brilliant shine during the season , only to get rusty for the rest of the year , doesnt take many years to rot from the inside out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
