Looks very well looked after.
Is it being driven by an alien
Could be, it depends on how dusty and hot it is as to whether we use nothing, an ordinary dust mask or the Air stream helmet.

Looks like yours has the same little triangular door that ours has, which flops open every time you drive into a field.

That is in mint condition, considering it is 46 years old . I never saw a 950 . There was a 900 near here briefly 40 odd years ago. Thanks for posting the video.
Were they a Perkins 236 ?
No, a 4 154
No, a 4 154
Considering a mk 1 MF 65 packed a 4/192 , a 154 must have been like a washing machine motor..
Ive no idea about one of them combines or engines.... i just did a forum search
I do know that our old claas mercury had an A 3.152 ..which was ok if just driven sensibly and in good cutting conditions..... when we scrapped the combine ..
it was still running nicely .. took the engine off and sold it seperatly to someone but i cant remem ber what they wanted it for....Ive no idea about one of them combines or engines.... i just did a forum search

Probably wanted it for an MF 135
Yeah either that or as stationary for something , i cant rember its too long ago....
Im wrong, actually it was it seems , a 4 270 perkins in the mercury . which was rated at 52 hp ( mustve been where i remebered the 52 bit from )
It was 4 cylinder then...... but what would they have wanted that engine for

I would have a soft spot for the older Mf's alright. I suppose tis a piccy or 2 ya want of what I drive for punishment
.
Fantastic little combine. The cab is a horrible place of a hot dusty day though but 2 fans from car radiators mounted overhead are a massive help.
This will be here for next year's harvest. Hope to have it home in Nov.
