more money than sense

Saw a Defender parked next to Trev's Landcruiser about two weeks ago,only when you have them parked side by side that you realise that one is a proper 4 wheel drive and the other is just a Landrover!!!

1990 Peugeot 205 Gti 1.9

98 (plastic arch) V46 Shogun 2.8

JCB 820 Super, long dipper and wide pads

And of course, couldn't not have a new Big A 2800, just as they were, simple, strong and fast........the chance to own and look after one from new, would be magic......

 

[Weare Cham]

But rustproof them properly and fit the current diesel motor and a 5 or 6 speed gearbox or even better a auto version.......

Or even better a WRX engine [emoji12]

TBH, what I'd like hasn't/ doesn't really exist. I'd like a Ford 7810, with Powerstar engine, plus some sort of electric forward/ reverse shuttle ( not powershift gearbox though ).

How much difference is there is the bell housing of the 2?

 

[rc mx110]

Closest you'll get to that is an 8160 dual command.

Or an early tm

 

[SuperTwo]

Different engines in them.
1455xl has more capacity.

A 1255xl can be screwed up to 150 hp easily enough

Either he only as 1 arm or has taken the door off so he doesn't catch it with his right arm every time he turns the wheel [emoji57] you can't see out of the left hand back corner of cab on a hard top that hasn't got the little window when your at a junction without almost putting your neck out

He has side windows, and 2 arms.

TBH, what I'd like hasn't/ doesn't really exist. I'd like a Ford 7810, with Powerstar engine, plus some sort of electric forward/ reverse shuttle ( not powershift gearbox though ).

So basically a 7840 without the stupid bonnet fill fuel tank and a super Q cab

Or more feasibly a 7810 drop a powerstar in it and get a clutch button kit thingy

Would you not open her out to 1455 spec?

I have been tempted, not sure if it's the same block as the 1455?

BredRedHfd,
You must have been very lucky with your 6265's to not want to part with them.

We have used MF tractors here since they were invented,and the 1999 6265 was the worst tractor that we have ever owned, it was a complete bloody heartbreak of a thing. In fact our 6150 at 22 years old was brilliant in comparison!!!

Your tractors are a credit to you by the way!

 

[Boohoo]

I have been tempted, not sure if it's the same block as the 1455?

The engines are different, the 1255 has the DT-358, the 1455 has the DT-402
