I worked to a Marshall dealership and they sold about 6 or seven 100 4wds and we turboed most of them
They sold one 2wd as far as I recall
I remember plenty of gearshift universal joint problems, 4wd axle trunnion bushes were a problem , poor drum brakes , side shaft front axle , old 6/98 leyland engine was a good motor .

A rather nice film about the man at the top.

She is a beaut.

 

[Chan092]

It took me 5yrs to do!! I never had any off farm pic of it, ill post some more pics of it later, cheers

 

[Cab-over Pete]

Brilliant, I'll look forward to seeing them.

I would love one but need big money...........even if you can find one!

 

[Chan092]

it came off "clayleyhall farm" tattenhall chester?
owned by a mr Birchall,
cheers

 

[Cab-over Pete]

You've made a great job of that. It's a rare and sought after bit of kit.

 

[Chan092]

there was a few going about a while but it seems to have gone quiet, my neighbour has one that he imported from Italy last year, he has had 6 or 7 over the years, I see q and f tractors have a fire damaged one aswel,
cheers

 

[Chan092]

not much of it that we didn't take to pieces!!

 

[Cab-over Pete]

That fire damaged one looks strong money.

Can you still get parts for them easily or is a total rebuild a non starter?

 

[Chan092]

I thought it was a bit steep, i know what it cost to do mine, most parts are available somewhere, a lot of the bits are shared with other breeds if you know where to look, but the things like dashboards and the the things that were specific to the tractor are a bit of a nightmare, even simple things like the exhaust manifold took me months to track a good one down, the good thing with all the panels are they are square and can be made quite easily.

Someone near me has a Marshall 125 which was registered in Ireland

Main mechanics parts should be no problem. The transmission and back axle is a ZF unit, probably the same as fitted to International 1056 or various newer units like Fendt. The electronic linkage control is pure Bosch.

With a bit of ingenuity things can be made to fit.

That fire damaged one was sat in the nettles in several pieces at the bottom of a yard of a contractor who is local to me until recently. Apparently qf bid him several times on it over the years until he decided to let them have it. It is in a fairly sorry state.

 

[Chan092]

I used to keep my neighbours 125 in my shed, it was on an irish plate, ill see if i can find a pic of it, the back ends and gearbox were the same as 1255ih or the old 600 series fendt, linkage controls are very similar too early mf's, front axle is same as early ih aswel, it would need to be really cheap if it was fire damaged, any zf parts are expensive, there is a 145 somewhere

 

[Ley253]

Should be called Mongrel 100!

 

[Chan092]

ha ha, bit of a Heinz 57 right enough!!
