nick a Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Thanks for the nice reply's guy's It is a Secura frame indeed (the rest off the cab parts are still lying in the shed,waiting for restoration!) What type i don't know. safety frame/cab laws in denmark/sweden were well ahead of ours here in the uk. that seckura frame was known as s67 type- dont know if that meant it was designed in 1967?. they came as a basic frame as pictured or you could have them built up as a rigid clad safety cab. they were lots in the uk retro fitted to older tractors to make them comply with leglislation commonly on old masseys,david browns and fords. it was known to have them fitted to ford tractors from new in the pre-q cab days. buy cabless tractor new and fit new seckura s67 cab i have known ford 6600 fitted with them new in 1976 ahead of q cab regulations and also lambourn mk6 safety cabs.

We chainged the bushes in the front axle and did something tho the steering house.

Glad to see her getting some surgery as well mate... does she steer beter now then I shall make some picture´s later this week because she is still standing by Wim he is trying to get some parts for me The under peace off the gril (i think it is called the beard ) and a proper grill logobar and logo the one i had where imitation The stearing is much better know Also we did an adjustment to the seat! Because i am 1.97m tall the seat is placed furter to the back and placed a litle bit higher Hope i can drive herr saturday back to my house because she where crying when i left :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denis086 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 was she ever fitted with power steering because i can see the holder in the casting for the ram like on ours (even though it doesnt work) but no ram fitted and a different set up in front of the radiator marky if by dislocating wrists you meant the change able link ends on the arms theyre fitted on our 165 but we welded our in place because they were loose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny mf Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 Wel the thing is they always have that holder. Mine had never power steering. The last end of the link arms can be lifted lose from the complete linkarms. Shal post some picture's when i get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny mf Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 Well as promised (bit late the photo´s from the rear axle and linkarms I also painted the gril again because she get it a litle bit rusty at that point :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 looking good as always johny looks strange to see the euro spec backend as opposed to what i'm used to seeing on the uk spec versions. cant help but think an auto hitch would look good but you dont have the need for one ! lighter link arms than mine has & no toolboxes built into the rear fenders , & still wonder why the pre cleaner comes up through the bonnet as the UK spec machines are under the bonnet still a good looking tractor , maybe a set of wider fronts to go with the awsome looking rears :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
them3kid Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 i may be mistaken but is that the same back end as a massey ferguson 65? it looks to be the same engine as was in our 165, ( the 212 engine). its by far the best engine ours pulled far better than the ford 6610 we had.

them3kid Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 yea a 165 mark1 was just a new model of the 65 but with the 212 engine it has to be a mark 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPR Models Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 You have a awesome 165 Johny,lucky you mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny mf Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 but with the 212 engine it has to be a mark 2. This tractor is between the Mark 1 and Mark 2 serie´s in. They call it a switch serie they had already the new engine but had some stock over from the mark 1 so they used the gearbox andrearaxle on this model. I have tryed to find out what the serial nr give me but no one knows any thing about this tractor. Only thing known is that the tractor has bin sold new in 1968 to do comunity service. You have a awesome 165 Johny,lucky you mate Thanks Peter i am stil glad i have her Owh frogot i have painted the roof and put it back on the cab. Also added 2 michelin bibendums on the roof.
