Last time I was properly up close the the green 4wd, it was ploughing one of our fields.
I was rolling behind him with our 602

Why were some painted in that colour scheme? Trying to woo John Deere enthusiasts ?

The story that I was told, and I believe the original owner told me, was that the Marshall business owner, Joseph Nickerson, took a party of farmers to view his products coming out of Gainsborough.
This particular farmer really liked the tractors, but just didn't like the Harvest Gold colour scheme. Joe Nickerson said if he purchased a Marshall he could have it whatever colour he wished.
Wether he was a JD fan, or just liked the colour scheme, I'm not sure, but they were running JD last time I was in the yard.

I remember at the time some cynics referred to The Marshall 'Harvest Gold' colour scheme as "Calf scour yellow"!

Anyone who does that to a rare and classic tractor should be put up against a wall and shot

I once saw a Marshall MP6 that had been "Modified" ( For want of a better word) as a pulling tractor. If only it had been left alone and probably sympathetically restored such a rare bird would have worth a small fortune now.Only using the Leyland bonnet ..............
Edit:
Looking at it again, that looks like a Zetor lurking underneath.
