allis8550 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I think Marky is right ,where a MK1 differs from a Mk2 is the added sound insulation, the 500 series soon followed with a purpose designed Q cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 When the sound laws changed (before the MKII came out I guess)... you had to have these on... DO NOT ask how much I paid for these... but they are becoming quite sought after... er.... I hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JK Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 hello very interesting information as usual - i drove all the 100 series - it brings back some memories - i think i could safely say you would have a copy of most of the MF brochures. May i ask have you ever come across a brochure for a MF 133? john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May i ask have you ever come across a brochure for a MF 133? john Hi John... I'm glad you found it interesting... I'm alswys worried you lads and lasses will knod off when I do 'yet another' MF post :D Sadly... I don't currently have an MF133 brochure... in actual fact... there are quite a considerable number of 100 series brochures I'm still on the hunt for \ ... the UK ones are relatively easy enough to get hold of... but the European ones are a little harder to come by \ Do you collect brochures yourself John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I think ( ) we had the that rigid cab on our 148, but obviously the sound kit cost more so father probably didn't bother. I remember the doors used to stretch the canvas 'limiter' and swing right round to the engine in a breeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
