Hey "Trevor" thanks for trying, hope you can attach it? and jcb4cx now I see what you mean, could be because they had to change the ram for a short one? or that's what they had lying around? given my neighbour just paid 300 to get one fixed? it all worked believe it or not before I dismantled it, although not before one of the pipes on the hoe popped, so that will be replace next.

I was told it was a 50B when I bought it, but there was no cab on it, just Wooden! mudguards, which were the first things to be thrown. I,ll post more detailed pics as work progresses
Thanks All please keep the comments/info coming

The 3303 denotes the tractor ID, in this instance the engine was the Perkins AD4/203 with manual gearbox, the 3305 was the instant reverse gearbox, the backhoe was known as the 252 and the loader was the 250, to simplify things Massey re badged the machine as the MF50, when i do not know, but the machine you have is also known as the MF50... hope this elps :thumbup:

I wonder if it is an MF 50B loader with MF 220 hoe/digger hanging off the back??

edit
Just read Mambo's post, he is no doubt right. The boom is solid unlike the 220. So the tractor would be the big brother of the 203 and 205?

The 50 designation must have been introduced in the late 60's.
