ANY BODY GOT MF 1155 PERKINS V8 150HP AMERICAN IMPORTS
I have the Massey ferguson DVDs theres one with the 1135 in it sounds really nice ideal pulling discs n ploughingthere are some about, got a mf 1135 though !its a genuine MF import
Yes they did and the 6 wheel Dodge trucks .Didn't they put them in some of the old d series 6 wheel tippers and stamped Ford into the rocker covers, could be wrong though.
The 1135 and 1155’s brought into the U.K. by MF all came in one spec’.
All had the short rear axles with PAVT wheels, three point linkage and adjustable front axle with 6 stud front wheels ( 8 stud available as a US option ) The 1155 came with an air conditioned cab as standard, and air conditioning was an option on the 1135 in the US, but not offered in the U.K. The lower lift arms had telescopic ends to help with hitching up, whereas some US models had solid arms with a quick coupler attached. Hitch also featured pressure control like other MF tractors. PTO is 540 and 1000rpm.
Approximately 50 came over, although unsure of how many of each model, but the 1135 did seem more popular.
I’m pretty sure they arrived built up, and came over in batches over a couple of years. Some of the last arrivals were sold off quite cheap, so I was told, as the initial market for them ( mainly as power for precision chop forage harvesters ) was soon fulfilled.Did they come over in kit form?
We (another company I worked for) used to make lots of parts for Massey at Banners lane as well as Ford in Basildon. My memory is a little faded on the subject but I'm sure one of the tractors came from the USA in kits and was assembled at Banners lane........or was it sent out in kits and assembled in USA....think I'm getting old
