G'day from Australia

[AussieMF]

hello all. Was referred to this site by another aussie member who has helped me out with some info.
We have 1200 acres of land about 5 hours North of Brisbane in Queensland Australia.
I am just getting into the machinery game and currently just run a little MF200 Drott.
I have worked for a large Ag company previously so have a fair bit of knowledge in Ag stuff, but just getting to know my little Drott a bit better.
Look forward to finding out more on here and sharing some laughs.

Hi Aussie MF, Welome on board . 5 hours north of brisbane must put you almost in my backyard . I am at wurdong heights just south of gladstone . A mate has had quite a few massey 200s They are a magic little machine for their size. So where exactly are you ? With 1200 arces to play on the massey might need some company . ian.

G'day Ian. My land is at Gin Gin actually, but I live in Hervey Bay. The 200 is a great little machine, if your friend has any books or left over spares from his time with them mate I'd be interested. I need to find a final drive seal at present.
Yes it does need some company up there and I am looking for a dozer with hydraulic blade around the 80-140hp mark to do some more roadworks.
We don't live there yet, but hopefully that will change in the near future.

Hi and very welcome Ashley!

Hi Aussiemf, Sorry i have not been able to get back to you till now as our internet went down . I think any of the bearing places should be able to supply the seal you need for your final drive,but you probably will have to take the seal into them as most of the counter jockeys these days are lost when it comes to things out of the ordinary. I will check with my mate if he has books but i know he won't part with them. ian.

[AussieMF]

Thanks for that Ian. From what I can gather it's not a common seal, I have found a supplier in both the USA and Europe who can supply it, I recently got track tensioning seals and they are like nothing I have ever seen before.

If your mate doesn't want to part with any books he may have, if he has any parts laying around that might be useful let me know.

Mate, i will check with him,I'm not sure what he has still . .Have you talked to "Jim in oz" He is on this forum and others .He is down in victoria and wrecks small dozers and drotts and can supply some new parts..Good bloke , ian.

Mate if you have that info on the TD9 would be great, where abouts was it for sale, it won't be far from my place, we are about 20km's out the back of Gin Gin in the ranges towards Paradise Dam, awesome spot.


Yes I have been in touch with Jim, he is the 1 who recommended me to this site, he's been a great help, have already got a part of him, but he can't help with the seals.
