Re: Muir Hill loaders

As a kid,I had a Matchbox diecast model of a Muir Hill with a detachable (slide-on) blade. There were Muir-Hill tractors working in Australia in the early 80s ,at a match tree plantation. These pictures are from a Grays Online Auction 2014 ($7500). http://www.classicmachinery.net/forum/images/userpi...

Re: Mystery Machines

This looks like a Cat dozer around the Operator area,but with old 977 style Crowd arms. Maybe a local manufacturer made the whole Blade/Loader assembly.I'd like to see the oil tank on the other side. During the 70s/80s,Komatsu offered a similar blade set-up for it's Crawler Loaders.Their Product Cat...

Re: Mf 300 or 400

I think the 300s went into the early 80s,maybe up to a C model.They were sold here in Australia,& in Canada & maybe the USA.Maybe the 24Volt system was used in some export machines....

Re: Mf 300 or 400

MF300. I've never seen one with a cabin. Parts are not easy to come by in many places...not sure about the UK. Berco makes chains & rollers,starting with an LA part number (Landini). I think they are around 9 tons. http://www.classicmachinery.net/forum/images/userpix/826_1AHSEH3M19KZB1580871555....

Y Tube videos from Oz

I've been watching a lot of Y Tube videos lately. Thought I'd pass these 4 videos on,from Australia in the 50s-60s. It's nice to see the trucks,cars & big gear in good (not 70 years old) condition . An interesting mix of US,UK & Local vehicles. You're going to have to copy/paste into YT sear...

Anyone own a MF 3165 Tractor/Loader

HI All, I own a Massey 3165 loader with a AD203 Perkins. My old starter is stuffed,but it has absolutely no numbering on it.So I need to find the Lucas number. My starter is located on RH side,from seated position. The USA versions had a Delco. It's not as easy as you'd think,to find the correct par...
