rorsday Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Dear MDFord, Certainly. I have e-mailed a picture of it to Mr Ferguson just now (after I dusted it). Perhaps he will be good enough to post it up. Regards Rory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pudding Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 good read mr day that MH121 is very impressive, but its too perfect ha ha!........i would like to take it to the sand pit, but not want to scratch it......... what it needs is front linkage, a buckrake and huge wieght on the back, then you would have something ha ha! the steel track crawler article is a laugh.........makes driving anything new sound dead boring....... thanks for the great read, the spain wrecking yard took me by supprise, i been searching the used tractor sites in europe, posting pics here and post some to marky (ebro MF155?! with 20000hours on it)...........and found out you beening looking into those places also ha ha!.......spanish JD's would be interesting to find some nice ones (you never thought i would say a JD is nice huh)........JD in spain is really a whole new chapter, just like IH in mexico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rorsday Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Dear Puds Glad you finally got the mag and enjoying it by the sound of things. I often wonder if it would be an idea to send some boxing gloves with your subscription copy, to save you from self-harming? The thought of you getting your hands on that lovely pristine Muir-Hill 121 is frightening....the damage you could cause....! I have to say I was dead pleased when Steven Vale 'found' the wreckers yard in Spain with all its Ebro models., etc. I half-fancy doing something a little more in depth on Ebro, with all its Fordson and MF variants. They also came to the UK in the late 1970s, but unfortunately by then the tractors were looking pretty ugly and were more Ebro than MF/Fordson. I've seen pictures of the tractors that came to the UK, but never seen one in the flesh. Now that would be a good find. Keep reading!

pudding Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 few Ebro come here , i have a customer with one, its a 460? dark blue, square, ugly, apparently its a renault based unit?? i think its a 3 cylinder there is a 470 forsale on trademe at the moment they say its a MF175 clone http://www.trademe.co.nz/Business-farming-industry/Farming/Tractors/auction-151482258.htm that one is in the same town as that MF135 with 124 hours on it gloves might be a good idea, i get funny looks and the classic tractor has a passionate following here, believe me it goes from house to house, like a lady in the night.!!!.......one of the mechanics i work with is from cornwall, and he about shed a tear when he saw the kidd forage harvesters..........and the county lifeboat tractors great effort............
