An Interested Spectator Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 I'm a poet and i know it ! This one is a bit of a 'flight of fancy' on my part. Here is the latest 362 variation. If anyone has the copy of Classic Tractor from February 2002, on page 15 is a picture of a semi narrow 135 with rear flotation wheels, and on the back cover is a picture of an MF 250 with square fenders. This one is a bit of a cross between the two Quote
An Interested Spectator Posted July 17, 2007 Author Posted July 17, 2007 I am not really ery sure about thos model. I was aiming for a 250 but i am not sure i have got close enough. Should i sticker it up as one, or should i leave it undecalled as a 'farm special' ? Quote
An Interested Spectator Posted July 17, 2007 Author Posted July 17, 2007 CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE KILL THE DOUBLE POST Quote
IH885XLMAN Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 simple but effextive looks the part simple but effextive looks the part simple but effextive looks the part And can someone kill the tripple posts ;D ;D ;D seriously I looks the part do you think they would make good 230s (1979 cerca) Quote
powerrabbit Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Not sure of the model number but an old retired farmer neighbour 'downsized' and moved to a smallholding and bought one of these exact MF tractors, wish I took a pic of it now but alas, hindsight and all that. The rear tyres were not quite as wide but everything else is pretty much exact. The old chap is dead and gone now so don't know where the tractor is. I remember though that he bought it in 1999 at a cost of around ?5,000. Quote
SMurF Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 I may be mistaken but don't TAFE make something very similar \ \ \ Quote
GreenSheetAndYellowRims Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 love your little red tractor ,ok your mf 326..... looks good with that flotation wheels thomas Quote
MJB1 Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 nice work mate & beat me to it , wsas going to fit some LP tyres on some of minr but i haven't got any spare throuble is those tyres chunk it out so much it looks bigger than it actually is i reckon on leaving it as a 350 / 362 :) Quote
Lord Ferguson Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Well I think it's great.... I tell you what... box in the engine a little more... paint that front grill surround red and you have a 410 Wanna see a pic of a 250 Quote
smallclaas Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Marky help us with this one, did MF make a model something like apassmore's, but never released it I thought I saw an article last year in Classic Tractor not sure thought it was a 3?? something or other ??? Quote

Ummm... not sure of that one Garrett.... I'll have a dig around... it would have been an export model with no cab on it like that \ Quote
smallclaas Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 I think Rory wrote the article, it def had no cab I'll root around. Quote
Lord Ferguson Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Rory !!! (in a big shouty voice) in the absence of Mr Day... here's my sugestions (based on the square wing principal) 250 245 - not a British tractor though \ 362 - again... an export model Quote
MJB1 Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 I think rory wrote the article, it def had no cab I'll root around. hmmm i wonder what happened to that massey 290 with the engine fitted the reverse way round ? Quote
SMurF Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 hmmm i wonder what happened to that massey 290 with the engine fitted the reverse way round ? Well it was up for sale \ So presumably someone got a raraty Quote
nashmach Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Well it was up for sale \ So presumably someone got a raraty Was owned by PV Dobson & Sons but don't know what happened it since Quote
ihatepoundland Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 I think it has a certain charm about it Not sure what it is though Quote
