Masseyboy89 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 It's time for me to pick your brains once more, any ideas as to what these numbers are about? the tractor is a french built 1970 Massey-ferguson 133 MK111 vineyard tractor, I imported from a farm in Portugal and registered this tractor myself. Finding anything out about this unusual machine is proving difficult. It's currently out in a hayfield working, so I wont be able to take a clear picture until later on when I go down there, I have scoured through my collection of photos and the clearest one of the numbers and their location is this picture of my mate on it at a show a few months ago.

Masseyboy89 Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 Weight markings? Possibly required for road use in Portugal? That Sounds feasible, I had it on a weigh bridge once and it showed it weighed approximately 1600kg, so the top number could very well be a reference to the weight. The numbers read: T. 1530 PB 4375 Thanks, Simon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Barrell Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 T and PB = Tara and Peso Bruto, Portuguese for Tare and Gross weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
