I was not sure where to put this post but hope it is OK here.
Does anyone know of a Massey Ferguson 780 special combine which is being broken for spares or suitable for restoration?
The same for a MF 65 Tractor and/or parts for both the 65 or 35 4 cylinder.
Mr Moonwind (also suffers from Sunwind!!) belongs to a vintage vehicle club (mainly agricultural but also cars and stationery) and is currently just beginning restoration of the 35, a wuffler and is looking at the 780 at the week-end, she will need parts by the sound of it.
Heh heh and he moans about me being on "that" computer!!!
I hope no one minds me posting this here, but apart from the usual magazines that specialise in vintage vehicles and tractors etc it is hard to find as we are not in a naturally arable area it is even harder!
Always keep my eye on ebay. Have been an addict of the place for too long!
The friends of Ferguson website came up with a combine he is looking at this week-end.
With the old machinery it's best to ask everywhere as some of the stuff is so rare these days, people just throw the old out of date machinery away or worse, leave them to rot away in some field and their hsitory dies with many of them.
Quite a few classic tractors and machinery go overseas there seems to be a very good market for them.
