Lord Ferguson Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Funny looking tractor this one... typical late 50's I reckon... I am guessing this brochure is from about 1958-59... anyone know better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 She had some strange "workings"... just WHAT is this pully system all about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 And whats with this... the draft control system on the outside... underneath... not the best idea they have had I would wager... \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allis8550 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Looks as if the pulley system is a balancer, to even the load between the two link arms. As for the draft system, mechanical lower link sensing, ahead of its time or what. Otherwise I think your spot on Marky , MF 85 was produced from 1958-1961 in the US.

nashmach Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Looks very like the MF 40 that was produced in several colours too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGU Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 This may sound like a Numpty statement again, but having the front wheels on long arms like that looks very weak? I would have thought there was a real danger of damage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought there was a real danger of damage? Does look a little weak Kev.... this one is a high row crop model though I think... It was a fairly new innovation of the time... kind of the "deluxe" model I think... hence it's on the front cover I guess... they did 2 types of tricycle as well I believe \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Why did they always put an 'artists impression' on the cover and then photos inside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange that John... all the brochures (well most of them) were the same... late 50's styling I guess \ - Funny old world I do love the "old styling" though... some... no ALL of my favourite brochures are from the late 50's / early 60's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
