Classics Earning their keep.

[timff]

Lovely, and more powerful than my standard 1958 Dexta. I believe yours is the same engine as a 35X or 135 - someone will be along to confirm or not?!

Similar maybe but not the same I don't think

Seen yesterday, 1056 has sat there for years but does move occasionally.

Very tidy looking combine Tim, gives a good sample so nice to see the old ones in action.

Thank you, I bought it earlier this year so all credit for its condition go to its former owner who had it from new.

Just come back from a weeks holiday in North Norfolk. Saw a few old classics still ding a job for the fishermen. First few were at Cromer other were near Cley.

These were near Cley

That Massey looks too nice to now be living on a beach

And the case probably is too, although not in as nice condition....

 

[multi power]

That Muir hill definitely should be nowhere near the beach

 

[msheep66]

Yes the Muir Hill would be very collectable and the Massey was in good condition.

That Case is a new one there I think, the last time I was there it was mainly old Fordsons plus the Muir Hill.

If you ever go to Hastings' fishing beach, it's all crawlers used by the fishermen, mostly Track Marshalls, there must be about 30 of them there.

I've just got back from holiday on the Isle of Harris, whilst there I spotted this sitting next to a small field of potatoes and it looked to still be in use:

I thought it was a MF35, but it says "IMT" on the front. A bit of searching and I found out they were Serbian. So were they like TAFE tractors then? I've never heard of them before.

A Yugoslav license-built MF 35/135 hybrid.

Not bad tractors. There's an unusual mix of metric and imperial parts in them, though.

Like a TAFE the IMT was basically a copy of a MF 35

Very smart piece of kit!

I think the first Super Dexta was 39bhp; seven hp more than the Dexta.

When the New Performance Super Dexta was launched, in about 1963, with Fordson Grey wheels and mudguards the engine was uprated to 44.5bhp which was thus essentially the same as the Massey 35X.

Wasn't the engine in The Dexta/Super Dexta virtually the same Perkins engine as fitted to The MF 35 / 35X but with a Simms injector pump instead of a CAV?-
