nashmach Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Yes that is correct - he mustn't have sold it yet though Some nice tractors there especially the 3000 with the optional larger wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Yes that is correct - he mustn't have sold it yet though Some nice tractors there especially the 3000 with the optional larger wheels I have seen his display at East Kilbride and also at Lanark and I must admit it did look nice. Seem to recall he wanted around £ 3k for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Just for Bill, I don't know how this compares to yours but it was immaculate I decided to compare mine last night ... but could not get the exact same angles Bill's Bill's I suspect this may be a younger tractor than my 1957 DM4 mine has the rear wheels with the sliding hubs produced only in 1956 & 1957. I think the one Robbo Mike shot would have been a 4DM without the sliding hubs. Being my gransfather's tractor from new mine was totally original so when I restored it I put it back to as near it was when I acquired it. As you can see a lot of of parts on Mike's shots have been polished up when in fact for originality purposes they should be painted. But, as I have said before the restorer has spent a lot of time on this restoration and maybe he wanted it to look that bit better and not go for originality. I mean he could have painted it tartan if he really had the desire to make it different ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Mike.... sorry I missed this topic... some cracking pics in there as well.... The MF37 is a rare tractor over here... French built and only available on the mainland of Europe I believe. The 500 series look lovely... the 3165S is a real beauty and the 135 is simply mint... it deserves all those trophies looking at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
