Can TM engine fit into MF 1200....

[multi power]

Only the Mk1 1200 had dry brakes, my one, a Mk2 had wet brakes.

Yes that is correct

Did the mk 2 come out around 75?

You are correct, lots of MF were front heavy, maybe not great on wet ground whilst doing light work but essentially for maximum traction when pulling hard

stick a set of 900's or 1000's on the front and it would help a great deal , our 565 has 900's on the front and 16.9-30's on the back and grips well

Did the MK 2 have any badging to indicate? The one I occasionally had a go on was a P reg which would have made an Aug 75 on. It did not have decals to denote mk 2. Perhaps it was a Mk1. I rember the brakes being quite effective (I suppose there were 2 braked). I had assumed that the older dry brakes were generally poor, grabby and sometimes noisy. When did the 100 series get wet brakes?

The 185 was introduced with wet brakes and a new eight speed gearbox in 1971 with the rest of the range in early 1972

Only way I can tell is looking at the axles, you can see the notches on the wet brakes axle, mine is r reg and has wet brakes
