A 40 would have either a manual shuttle or instant reverse transmission. I'd say probably a 2135 but I think the loader came off a different model tractor because I don't think the 2135 came from the factory with a 200 loader. Might be an MF 20 which is a newer version of the 2135. The industrial models usually had the foot throttle. [Reply]  [No Email]

I can't see the planetaries so it cant be a 40 industrial (they had the heavier rear end with internal brakes and outboard planetaries). My best guess is that its a 2135, but there could be about 5 other models that it is almost identical to. [Reply]  [No Email]

It could of course be a full industrial 203 with the hard nose removed and an ag tractor hood fitted. Sam [Reply]  [No Email]

Doesn't look like they were too careful about masking everything off from the red paint overspray. DavidP, South Wales [Reply]  [No Email]
