I've never seen a 20 or a 2135 with a sirocco flexi cab mate :of .. is the cladding yellow (assuming there is some left that is) also... some 2135's had a straight axle too during the crossover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 Same though Marcus... I've never seen a 20 or a 2135 with a sirocco flexi cab mate :of .. is the cladding yellow (assuming there is some left that is) also... some 2135's had a straight axle too during the crossover got a yellow frame , so cant see why it wouldn't of had yellow cladding ? but look at the windscreen . my windscreen frame was fixed over the front pillars , but the yellow cabbed one looks to be recessed. what puzzels me is the flexi cabbed roof so must have been flexi cab not rigid paneled delux cab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 on that indy one would the front glass pannel in the cab be set back due to the loader being a industrial one??? the arms etc are a lot bulkier than the normal 40's you would see on a farm red version, maybe that gives that little bit more room for when its up?? and the mountings, the arms do look further set back than a 40 as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 no thats what i ment mate, the indy loaders are a lot bulkier in framework and fittings, hence is that why the screens set back a bit, allows a bit more room for it??? didnt mean it was a 40 loader on it just compairing them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Some really nice finds at Ron Greet's you've captured there Marcus especially their own Forward Control County, great to see one giving active and useful service, the loader equipped 185 looks very smart too.

MJB1 Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 well booted TW25 with 4 leg paraplow cubicle bedding MF184F & a well used 3060 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurodeere Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 More super snaps there, you do seem to manage to catch some great working clothed tractors. The door on that pink 3060 is great, one pane of glass and two hinges. The TW and paraplow show the forefront of cultivations 25 years ago.

The Tractor Twitcher Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Another great selection of working finds Marcus, especially the TW and Paraplow and i've never seen an MF 184F before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 never seen a 184f before either, i always asumed they were a euro machine, never knew they made it to the uk to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 some of these lanes are a bit tight on the corners MF 8?? another basket case , don't know the history of it , maybe bought for the engine or wheels & tyres but i don't think it'll see another harvest . the front tures look handy though , as they're 30" same as my 168 , i reckon find some dishes & cut the wheels they go on a treat ! the rear tyres are huge so would certainly bulk the 168 up on the front !

MJB1 Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 cheeky get ! no it's not it's one of those do i follow the sat nav or not ordeals tim ! first off the delivery ticket says ring before delivery , all well & good but no numbers are supplied , secondly i am confronted by a sign that says 7.5tonne limit on 2 lanes at a 3way fork in the road & the sat nav says turn right , but thats also has an 'unsuitable for HGV' & a 'low bridge' sign but with no height markings ! ah ha a dog walker ......... he says yes i know the farm , i live next door ! great ! ,he tells me it's unlikely i will get under the bridge , so that rules out that route, so to go straight on is the best route off i go ooh getting a bit narrow here ......................bl00dy hell even narrower here & a few nasty bends as well , ah just turn up right to the fa....................... nope wont be getting to it from this direction as there is a sharp S bend i manage to get a rep on the phone , then the farmer turns up tells me i have good news & bad news good news i'm less than a mile away from the farm ! bad news i wont be getting to it from this side of the village so i now have two options , reverse out back through the village which is a non starter or to keep going but it's going to get a bit more narrow so with mirrors folded back, off i followed him making the lanes wider , trimming back branches with the trailer as i go & also modifying 2 of my trailer mudguards , my trailer storage locker & the (luckily) grassbanks making them a bit wider, after 4 miles we get back to the 3way fork & head for the unsuitable for HGV & low bridge of which doesn't exist i manage to find some bolts to remount my mudguards , but the locker isn't as bad as first thought & the grass is hooked off it's all good to go again just another typical bulk delivery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Did better than tris in a Cornish lane then marcus ;D ;D mind you it's good job they ain't Scottish lanes mind they are really narrow apparently :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eurodeere Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 All those obstacles make the job more interesting. You could be sat on a motorway all day! Get all four wheels off that 8x0 combine, get some adaptor plates and mount them on the 168. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 She's an 850/855 or an 860 mate (at a push)... that's a 6 cylinder perkins in there for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
