jdc Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Not sure, but I thought they just swung round 'inboard' for work...maybe different years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted May 27, 2007 Author Share Posted May 27, 2007 Now you mention it John... you are right... lift a little a turn as I remember.. similar to some of the old combine ones as well \ Could be different years I guess... but I wonder if the real thing Brian used had been "modified" somewhat \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 I think this photo supports the folding theory, if we assume the metal is rusty because it has worn off from these being slid over the years.....but still these are more angular and have a lot more reinforcement than the 1/32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britainswomble Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 I think this photo supports the folding theory, if we assume the metal is rusty because it has worn off from these being slid over the years.....but still these are more angular and have a lot more reinforcement than the 1/32 I have a leaflet of the Massey 1250 which was posted on here earlier. The rear lights are identical in every way to those. Incidentally, ref the tyre problem discussed earlier about tyres slipping on the rims; the rims on this tractor are identical to the "heavy duty" rims fitted to Muir Hills and County tractors to overcome the fracturing of rim lugs. (After they'd stopped the tyres slipping on the rims) They were 14 X 34's. The early 1200's I've seen had completely different centres that looked like 165 wheels.

ihatepoundland Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 It'd be good to ask Brian if they are based on the real thing, I can't imagine that it is a mistake \ albeit very minor. They 1200 I posted up has it's rear work lights at different heights to the brochure examples, another puzzler or just a working modification?

There was definately trouble with rear lights getting in the way I know that for a fact \ - Luckily the 1200 features in LOTS of MF literature... so I'll have a good look through when I get off here... I would imagine that Brian would not make a mistake \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
