Lord Ferguson Posted March 22, 2008 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
Lord Ferguson Posted March 22, 2008 Author Posted March 22, 2008 He bought this for just ?13k evidently... only 1000 hours as well :o Quote
Lord Ferguson Posted March 22, 2008 Author Posted March 22, 2008 This has done 17,000 hours.. starts on the key... all it's had is one clutch - head's never even been off it.. hows that for an advert for massey Ferguson then I bet this takes some yanking... Quote
Lord Ferguson Posted March 22, 2008 Author Posted March 22, 2008 He had two of these in his shed... Good old Sanderson... reminds me of my days as an apprentice this one.. Quote
Lord Ferguson Posted March 22, 2008 Author Posted March 22, 2008 Last of this lot... lets finish off with two sexy ladies... * Some more floats again... Quote

sparrow legs Posted March 22, 2008 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
