Jcb fastrac 185

[grass man]

Anyone know if a 185-50 was a Production model? I'm aware of 185-65 and 185-80 but never saw a -50 version. Any ideas?

I’m sure it was in production not for the uk market I think it might of been to export to France

Thanks for reply. I've just noticed a 185-40 for sale in Spain so it must have been an option for different top speeds. Seems a lot of bother to have different gearboxes or diffs or something to alter top speed or maybe they just blanked off some gears

I’m sure it’s just the crown wheel and pinion in the rear axle that alters the speed don’t think it’s anything to do with gearbox
