Powerstarâ„¢ Posted April 18, 2008 Author Share Posted April 18, 2008 I have a 2wd 3050a, came with a linkbox and milk churns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Letter designates after numbers signify the country of manufacture so far as I know... A does not mean 4wd \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurodeere Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 which country is A then and which S? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I've got that in a book somewhere... I'll have found it by tonight... hopefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pudding Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 i know letters in the serial numbers gave the years of manufactuer, wasn't aware of the letters on the badge meaning much.........A afganistan?...........S spain......i know MF have or had factories there i would like to think A is austria that looks landinish alright, and the cab looks like a 600 cab, probably a sekura one?? or something domestic market italian, that works with landini great to see a little italian in every big tractor manufacturer ha ha!

Lord Ferguson Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 regretfully not Luke... still got that hole in my collection... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuarty C Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 thought i may have had a brochure on it but no.. just the normal 3000 series \ so thought it may have been worth while looking throught the old MF Modern Farming magazines, went through all the issues from 1986-89 and no mention of the 3050a you speak of \ \ strange.....

Powerstarâ„¢ Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 Tell me about it, there must be a picture of one somewhere!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 still no leaflet Luke but this mysterious tractor has made it's rounds here before ! maybe a few more clues yet to be found , have we no Euroland members that could find some info for us ? would imagine Germany / Italy would be the first place to look maybe drop a line to thomas or feli http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=5150.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 well i have not found any 3050a's but i have found a 3050e ?? http://www.farmphoto.com/image.aspx?n=131f4716-3e8f-4de6-b1bf-4d8b120c2c43.jpg&s=original infact after trawling through farmphoto all i can find prefix wise is d e g, a few v's but not one single a, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I thought a is for 4wd versions or is it for the Autotronic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 most of the d versions i found were listed as turkish built??? most had been posted by a turkish guy, so maybe it does denote country of build, as even the newer versions on there ,bit like markys 410 in bonnet looks are listed as turkish built Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Most of the Uzel built MF's had a letter prefix (or it that suffix)... I am pretty sure that the A denotes the country of manufacture... and I believe the 3050a looks (if the model is accurate) to be Italian built \ Perhaps someone should write to Classic Massey Magazine in the letters page - I could get paid for digging into it then :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 i did wonder if benny's 3050a was a true representation of an actual tractor , i cant see siku making that big an error . the tractor in question would have been landini built so it may just be it's still out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
