Loadstar Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Australian ads Its interesting that our B series IH trucks were labelled A series in Australia. Quote
Brady Boy Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 A554, outstanding recovery on the picture posting!! I either don't get a picture at all or multiple copies of the pic. Love the BIG pics, thanks!! BK Quote
Loadstar Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 This old ad dates to May of 1955. Showing the model 45 IH baler being pulled by a Farmall, not sure of the model. Quote
A554 Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Ralph, IH machines made in Australia carried an A in the model name at least into the 1970s, hence the different models in Aust and Canada. Here is a similar ad to the balers you posted. Not able to identify the tractor in this one though. David Quote
A554 Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 An ad from Australia for a locally made A8-2 harvester with comb front together with a locally made disc plough. Quote
A554 Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 An ad for Massey Ferguson 585 header. These PTO powered harvesters were made in Australia. Quote

David Interesting, and a little confusing since IH built their A series trucks in 57 and 58, then changed to the b series in 59. Your Australian Massey combines are totally different than what Massey was selling here in 59. I don't have an ad of them handy but rather than leave without posting, here is an ad for Case crawler tractors from the early sixties. Quote

1967806 Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 I posted this one in a thread a while back for those who haven't seen it. Thats an intersting picture if you think about it. How much things have changed since that year. 7 companies in the game then and now what are there 3? Quote

Loadstar Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Couple of pages from a brochure I have when the new 86 series tractors was introduced. Quote
Loadstar Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 This ad might be a little off topic for IH red power but who knew Fairbanks Morse built a lawn mower in 1955? Pretty neat. Quote
A554 Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 A John Deere ad from 1970-71 published in Australia. Who says there is no truth in advertising. Quote
A554 Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Some more ads for Australian built harvesters. These are MF 587 headers which were made in the 1970s. These machines replaced the earlier 585 model and were available as a pull-type PTO powered or self-propelled. The SP machines were powered by a Perkins 4 cylinder diesel engine. The earlier 585 model was powered by a Dodge 4 cylinder side-valve petrol engine. Quote
A554 Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 More information on the MF 587 headers. Most machines were built with comb fronts and only a few with open fronts. Quote
A554 Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 MF 1978 buyers guide featuring an MF 542 pto header behind an 1105 tractor on the front cover. More info on the machine inside. Quote
A554 Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Information for an Australian made MF 542 self-propelled header from the 1970s. These machines were powered by a 6 cylinder Perkins diesel. Quote
A554 Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 A page from the MF 1978 buyers guide with more detail of the 542 header. Quote
ST-470 Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 "loadstar" This ad might be a little off topic for IH red power but who knew Fairbanks Morse built a lawn mower in 1955? Pretty neat. Never seen a mower like that. I bet your *ss didn't get warm sitting on that seat after a few minutes ......"let me do it"...please Quote
