Two of my old Masseys.

I admired the simplicty of the "pull-off" transporter, pure innovative genius.

Also jealous of the various tractors on display, so I must go a tyre-kicking today

ps

is the word "ingenious" derived from innovative genius?

What road speed is the 20 getting now with the Rover engine?

 

Good question, I'll have to ask him next time I see him.

 

Knowing the builder there'll have been some attempt made at speed checking it.

My 80mm bore fergie does 40 km/h full throttle and holds 4th gear up most hills, even with 4 ton on the hitch.

 

I should mention that a larger carburettor has been fitted.

 

They are only supposed to do 21 km/h stock.

Anyone want to offer an opinion on buying a 1987 International 856, with a fresh tight Q445 Quickie loader fitted?

Iffen I am going to buy a sensible ag loader tractor.

Predecessor to 956? Brilliant I would imagine. Best 6 pot of many.

[difflock]

Thanks TCD, tis only a 4 pot, but a tad nimbler for lacking 2 cyl, & seems like value for money, since the loader appears to be in good nick, & at least zero electrical gremlins to worry about.

cheers
