HI TCD what about parts then get a case 885 mate there good like you said jon

Marshall were layland re branded, good tracror, basic and easy too live with, often overlooked.

 

I have s 71 layland 384 running s splitter and it never misses a beat, dead simple old skool technology.

 

Parts are readily available.

Can't afford a tidy one mate, as per my other thread, saw an 885 for £15k near here recently; clean but enough hours.

Farm near me had one they pulled 6 ton corn trailer with it no problem, I think you have to take the cab off to change the clutch if I remember after taking to the old boy how drove it.

Marshal = BMC ie leyland nuffield etc top tractors often cheap as overlooked parts arnt too bad to find

and you can bolt in a big 6 fairly easy for an instant 100hp untouched. 2wd then swap the final drive+ tall rear tyres for a real 40mph if your brave enough!!! In the the east Lancs hill's 6cylinder nuff leylands and marshalls where the contractors weapon of choice when I was growing up!! Quite frankly showing up the modern tractors of the time. Thumbs up from me!

Dare I suggest there would be a bit of collector interest in the Marshall marque.?

Certainly soundly if unimaginatively engineered.

The later/last ones were actually rebadged Steyr's if I recall.(Or was there some other connection)

Again properly engineered kit.

Cab off for a clutch should not be an issue, once every 20/25/30 years.
