[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 8251936, member: 718"] There will have been several gearing choices, depending on the sales market and the options available in those markets. Plus the gearbox options which might have included the Synchro12, 18x6 speed shift and 12x12 shuttle. There might have been even more options that I’m not aware of. 25kph, 30kph and 40kph would have been available as build options with allowances made for the wheel and tyre options. This looks like being a 25kph tractor. Great for field and yard work but not so good for roading any distance. This was the standard tractor road speed up until the late 1960’s in the UK, after which 30kph or 18.5mph became the standard. There were faster examples of course, such as the TVO DB Cropmaster and Multi-Power versions of MF 100 series with their ‘overdrive’ transmissions. Ford and others chose to make their power-splitters ‘underdrive' Not sure it should rev more than 2450 no-load. [/QUOTE]
