after seeing your tractor, I got a winch with spade lugs that goes onto the hydraulic mount of your kind of tractor one ton pull but old any use to you before I weigh it in, must be a collectors item, will take a pic tomorrow and post, Rick

He was a character in the first two episodes of a new murder mystery series up here called 'Shetland'!

It's also a BBC sitcom set in a suburb of Dundee and starring Brian Cox 
Rick that winch sounds pretty interesting, I'd be keen to see it. Tbh I can't really justify spending on it though (too many other things calling for the beer tokens at the moment) but one of my farming mates might :nenau

Cheers Rick what a lovely piece of old machinery!
Nobody I know can make use of it which is a shame Probably more hassle than you can be bothered with but have you thought about putting it on ebay? Must be someone on there that would snap it up.

OK so this well out off my field, what would you think it could be worth? if less than £100 then not worth the effort as far as I am concerned, unless it is picked up from my yard as could not be bothered with palletising etc, if it turns out to be rare then I want a Million £, Rick

Not sure how this one stands up to yours, other than a gaudy coat of paint, but it's currently up at £375.

gave the winch a look over today and nothing is seized at all, and every thing works, which is not bad as I have had it ten years and do not know how long it was here before that, but it has been under cover all that time, found two name plates on it seems it is a Massey Ferguson linkage winch model 704, made for MF by CM Hesford & Co Ltd Ormskirk, although this company is still trading they no longer deal in machinery, last year a user manual was sold on Ebay, so I will be cleaning this thing up, give it a coat of paint, put a new cable on it and Ebay it will go, Rick
