Lord Ferguson Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I'm hoping to snap plenty of pics on my travels around farms in the coming months.... And they won't all be red... honest.... just look at this lot.. This farmer was a real CAT man... he had two D6 LGP's with blades on in his workshop.. and a good few out on hire by the sounds of things.. Nice 590 on floats as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrow legs Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 yes will get pics markey not sure on the model as i say, not a old mf man (1985-2005 mainly is what i know) am i right in saying its a mf135 skid under it? as for the 35 my mate has two, just had a head gasket on one, needs paint job then great order and the one we picked up yesterday is very rough, need new tin work and brakes etc doing but great runner, sat for a few years, pulled it out the shed, bleed fuel system, filled radiator and towed it off, fired after about 10 meters and then never missed a beat older type same as the grey/gold ( it aint a true grey gold but may get painted as one) my other mate (clarkdiesel) has a 35 the same fully restored running on rear duels, 3 the same all going to be at our local vintage rally on the working area in june will be a great sight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
