The example I bought was in a very poor state all of the pivot points were totaly worn out. The principle of the machine is the same as that of the 6/100MT tractor. It was based on Fordson Super Major components, and was a spin-off from the Matbro Mastiff loading shovel. As I’m a technician, I’m very interested in the many Fordson Major conversions that were created down the years, which is why, back in 1997, I bought the wreck of a Matbro Mastiff Minor loading shovel. I’m sure that many of you reading this will be familiar with the articulated 4WD tractor, the Matbro Mastiff 6/100MT.
