pudding Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 ya looks like a taurus 60 would be a 3 cylinder, would make a great restore, they did something MF couldn't, make 4wd 60hp and cab in the early 80's ha ha! minitaurus was the cabless version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGEL FORD Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 There was a topic on some SAMEs the other week on here which I contributed pictures of 2 very rare models from my collection. Do a search if interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Extremely hard to find any older Samies (Same pronounced 'Sammy') in good order tin-work wise, suffered the same rust problem as the Fiats, rotted out after about 6 years from new, their cars suffered the problem as well, that's the trouble when you use recycled pet food cans and baked bean tins to make panels!

pudding Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 fiat figured it out adventually with zinc coating, SAME went to fibreglass ha ha! lot of panels on these tractors used two thin sheets of steel folded to for panels, rolled corners etc, they generally rusted from the inside out.due to holes drilled or inperfect workmanship.......its a real shame because the rest of the tractor generally lasted you can still get new panels for the older fiat 640's etc........they still build them new and refurbish them in india and bolt on turbos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 The majority of the Same and Fiat tractors from the mid 70's to mid 80's that were new around this area rusted out very quickly, freind of mine bought a Fiat 880 new in the early 80's and the panels were hanging within 2 years, he traded it in because of that, also the exhaust pipe rusted out within 6 months. Same and Fiat belong to the same parent company. I was told that the panels rusted out very quickly because of the poor quality of steel that Italy was importing, something to do with their poor economy that resulted from the last World War as it left the country more or less in a 'third world' state.

Fiat is CNH, owning NH and Case IH While Same is SDF.. But the 880 was an excellent tractor, was his an orange or a brown beast? 5 cylinder?

powerrabbit Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 It was a 5 cylinder. Sorry, did'nt mention that Same and Fiat USED to belong to the same company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGEL FORD Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Perhaps it wasn't just the engine then that made it sound like a bag of nails on the CENTURION 75 I had on demo back in the early 80s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pudding Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 SAME was family owned and i thought it still was FIAT is a division of the italian gov at one point, or still is, i thought argo was also funded by the italian gov the 880 had two engines, the 880 (4pot) and 880-5 (5pot) the 5 cylinder was considered gutless compared to the 4 FIAT is a huge company, they may not have a tractor bearing there name and colours but there presence in the AG industry is bigger then it ever was, the upper management of that company are very cleaver........so is argo group, those guys realised that branding is often better then the product itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerrabbit Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Looked in on my local Same dealers today to pick up some David Brown plough shares and asked the storeman if Same do any 'official' model tractors, he said he would find out.
