MF-165 by

This
pictures was sent to me from David Perrin, Wales! 23 November. 2002 |

This is a 1965 MF 165. This tractor has had an external renovation by
a customer of mine for a friend. I have had a thirty year 'love
affair' with MF and particularly the 165. So I was very interested to
see it rebuilt and offer any advice where requested. This tractor is a
little different. It has two-piece rear wheels instead of the normal
three and the tires are 38 inch and 7.50x19 which were not available
even as an option at the time. The owner was happy to buy new
mudguards to cope with the extra height. The restorer, David
Rees made an excellent job.

This two
pictures shows the difference between the model made at Banner Line,
Coventry (left) and the Detroit factory (right) Note the different
lighting arrangements. |
|
|
|
|
|
The picture
above left compared with the two under shows the difference between
the first series and the updated series. This one is an early Banner
Line model with the AD4.203 engine. note the exhaust on the left
side. |
|
|
|
|
|
The updated
model with the Perkins AD4.212 engine are easily recognized with the
exhaust on the right side. |
|
The 135 to 188 tractors were referred to as 'The Banner Lane Models' to
differentiate from those made at Beauvais, France, the Detroit plant and other
world factories. The 135 to 185 were defined as the '5' line and 148 to 188 were
defined as the '8' line. (in house MF-terms) The updated 165 and upwards
was given 'wet' brakes and had the hydraulic pressure increased to 3000psi from
2550psi. In addition the 168 and 188 were fitted with Lanchester type balance
units in the engine to give smoother running due to the 'two up' and 'two down'
piston positions. The 148 with the three cylinder engine did not require any
balancing with its piston positions.
This information was provided by David Perrin (Wales)
who have been trained on the 100 series at the Training School in
Warwickshire, and have then been working with MF-tractors for around
30 years.
THANKS for the information!

The
MF-175 & -180.
The MF-175 was a brand new model, with a
Perkins AD4.236 (3866ccm) diesel engine made specially to fit the tractor.
It was produced from 1965 till 1968. From 1968-71a updated version called
the MF-175S was available. The MF-180 was similar, built in America
for the American marked, from 1965-74. The MF-180 had higher clearance and
was considered a row-crop tractor. The Continental G206 petrol engine was
available, from 1969 a petrol version of the Perkins engine was
available, the AG4.236. The AD4.236 engine had a balancer shaft for smooth
running.
The MF-175 was only available with a
standard clearance, adjustable front axle. The Mf-180 had high clearance
row-crop types with either a wide adjustable or dual-wheel tricycle front
end.
The best way to identify a late MF-175 from
a early version is the high steering drag link on early models, the newer
tractors had a much lover steering drag link The early versions also had
cast front wheels centre.
