nashmach Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Excellent well done Chris - I believe the Mk IV was very rare and I take it that the 135 is not its original power unit unless its taken off each year That CX 90 is unusual with the hump in the roof - anyone know why ???

Powerstarâ„¢ Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I think it's the budget cab (stockman) or whatever it is, but with an air-con unit as an optional extra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thta is what I was thinking too Luke - never saw one of those with air con before - I don't think you can get McCormack's with that cab with air con either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Seems stupid buying that cab and having that as an option as it's now higher than a 'premium' cab \ Unless a Air-Con dealer fitted it, and the farmer just painted it?

I was told it was rare yes, though nothing about the power unit being changed \ There was a pair of Mk IVs at a neighbouring farm, now both scrapped, like this one will be :'( the lengths people goto to beat the smoking ban :D Or to see the row Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belarusfan Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 Why is he scrapping them chris - I believe from an old CT that less than 50 Mk IV's were made He said 36 or 37 I can't remember Scrapping as it's worn out and MF 135 will be worth more with an axle as a tractor :'( Needless to say I think it's a huge pity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belarusfan Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 Tell him he's better of selling the harvester as someone may be interested due to the limited numbers produced?
