Tracteurs Massey-Ferguson : livres - histoire (2/2)

Massey Ferguson 100 Series in Detail

Following his well-received books in the 'In Detail' series on the Ferguson TE20 and the Massey Ferguson 35 & 65 models, Michael Thorne turns his attention to the outstandingly successful and well-loved 100 Series of tractors, of which the 135 and 165 were the best sellers, with half a million and 98,000 built respectively.

In this book he tells the story of the development of the new range from the previous 35 and 65, and then gives detailed descriptions and assessments of the important 130, 135, 148 Super Spec, 165, 168, 175 (the largest tractor), 178, 185 and 188 Super Spec models.
These chapters are followed by others on Implements, Conversions & Accessories, the 100 Series Overseas, and the tractors in use today.

Massey-Ferguson 35 & 36 Models in Detail

Launched in 1958, as the successor to the ubiquitous Ferguson TE20, the Massey Ferguson 35 was a product of the merger of Massey-Harris and Ferguson. It incorporated numerous improvements and new features and became massively popular worldwide.
Its companion, the 65 model, was introduced shortly afterwards and was a larger tractor, offered with the revolutionary Multi Power system that gave 12 forward and four reverse gears.

Durable and versatile, these tractors are still a practical proposition today, and even unrestored examples command high prices. Michael Thorne, author of Ferguson TE20 in Detail, continues the story as he describes the development of these models, the production versions and their capabilities, options and extras, conversions, implements and their use today.

Outstanding surviving examples are featured in some 80 photographs specially taken for this book, and there are approximately 120 accompanying archive illustrations.
