Great old tractors thanks for posting the pictures

And some more! The 4wd mf65 was one of 160 converted to 4wd by the local dealership, using the front axles of ex-wartime 'puddlejumper' jeeps. Originally powered from the ground speed PTO, but later direct from an adapted gearbox.
Not just a museum, but fully equipped 'shops, heated and well lit! Any guys in the club can come in and work there anytime, on their own project, or help with a communal one. Envious!!

I agree, and THANK YOU!

Where is this at? I would love to have an English 65 with 4wd. Any chance of getting more pictures of how they converted it? I might have to try to build my own. The outfit that did it wasn't Robert Eden and company was it?

Great pics, thanks for posting them!
We had a General like that just up the road when I was a kid.
We always thought it was the neatest tractor around for looks.
What does the Super BM designation mean on that Farmall?
