That looks straight. If they had the reversomatic tranmission they were quick little loaders. The first digger I drove was our own '63 203 and when I first had a go on a '73 40 with reversomatic and a 4in1 it was in a completely different league. The MF 3 cyl always seemed to punch above its weight.

What a cracking little loader that has had an easy life, you dont find them like that very often, I would love to get a clean MF40 Backhoe Loader to replacemy 3c mk2 at some point, If anyone knows of a nice one that may be for sale let me know.
