I wonder what about dad's old Davy brown 1210 cso 99 t I doubt it's still in one piece
Also the massey 65 that he had before the brown. He gave it away in 1985 for just 600 quid. It had not long had a new engine too
That's exactly the same as the one we had ! I well remember it arriving may 85 and leaving Jan 90Cant help with cso 99t but i have its sister ship here cso 100t. 1210 with flat floor secura deluxe cab!!
Those MWM engines were astonishing wern't they? Apparently when they changed to John Deere engines they were not as good as before (? ). I used to pull a Kverneland 6.3 m spring tine with ours ( 63 tines) up hill and down dale without a murmur.Renault 781 a good tractor l still have mine got it new in 1980
My uncle had one when i was a kid i think it was 95ish hp. It was an e reg. Pulled a 4f rev with it and a home made 4m combi . What model would that have been? I can remember it seeming like a monster when i was little.Those MWM engines were astonishing wern't they? Apparently when they changed to John Deere engines they were not as good as before (? ).

Probably 103/14 or 103/54. They were a pocket rocket!My uncle had one when i was a kid i think it was 95ish hp. It was an e reg. Pulled a 4f rev with it and a home made 4m combi . What model would that have been? I can remember it seeming like a monster when i was little.
That will be it. Remember my dad helping him ploughing with it in 1991 have fond memories of it.Probably 103/14 or 103/54. They were a pocket rocket!
Well almost, They had the same engine and as you said the 851 had the turbo but The 781 had slightly higher gear ratios. I did hear on The grapevine though that the 851 was a damn good tractor. The 781s we bought to replace a 78 hp IH 674 which like your JCB was always being repaired. As for pulling the Renault made the IH look like a dinky toy.We had a 851 Renault witch was a 781 with a turbo
