Deere-est Posted February 10, 2007 Author Share Posted February 10, 2007 All bones intact I am told. It split in half when they tried to pull back up the 20m drop it went off!! From what I am told he was going up a track between jobs and ran out of gears, or dcouldn't change down quick enough. She stalled, started rolling and he couldn't get her started or stopped. The brakes are powered or something so with no engine.. .. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted February 10, 2007 Author Share Posted February 10, 2007 What she should looik like, the 200 I had a horse around in. This also fell victim to accident though, hence the new bonnet. Engine fire!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted February 10, 2007 Author Share Posted February 10, 2007 It surprised me too Brian, the mudguards barely move and the track width seems terribly narrow but this old girl, she certainly turns tightly even for a mid-range tractor let alone one with a canal boat for a bonnet!!!

civilpek Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 yep the guys im with have bought her, we picked it up friday and its sitting in the shed already being striped down. they had a mx 270 that caught fire a couple years ago they will take the casting out of that and stick it into this one. they reckon shell be up and running again in about 3 weeks. il take a few pics of her being rebuilt and when maize starts in a few weeks ul see her pulling a trailer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
