The super 92 is listed as being built from 60-63 according to my history of combines book (can't remember the exact name.) Had a wider walker body than the 92 I guess. The 300 came out in 63 and the 410-510 in 64. European 400 and 500 came out before that I think, but probably had the same size walker width as the cylinder. The following year or two I think they came out with the 4 and 510 with wider walker body. Not sure about that on the Euro combines which were built in Scotland I think.

 

Hello Redpainter,

I am in France here.
For me the 400 and 500 were introduced in 1960 in canada, and the production of 500 started just after in France (not sure if they were made in Scotland) French production is different because they were built in "metric". Some shaft and bearing aren't the same, and this have cause some delays because the dealer don't give the right part. (I know a farmer who works in the same time with a canadian 500 and an european).

After in France (1964 I think), the 410 and 510 were introduced, with the larger walker body, but were updated for 1969 by the 520 and a bigger machine (the 620). In the same time, Scotland factory build some 510 because it was a very popular model in europa, and introduced the 515 model as the first machine to have an additional tresher. (They put it after the walker, and after, all MF having this system have their number ending with a 5 instead of a 0.)
The MF salesmanual of 1964 said that you could order a 500 or a 510. The production of the 500 should stop in 1965.


The 92 was build in France as the 892 (8 for France) , and was replaced by the 99 from 1960 to 1964 , which is like a Super 92.

fdt860, thanks for the information. I didn't know the 500 was built that early. I'm surprised the 510 was not built earlier for the US market. Thanks for the site with the pictures and info.

 

I was born in 1970 and as a kid remember grandpa and the uncles running a few super 92's along with the three 510's they had, so that would have been 1974, 1975ish when the S92's started going offline for them. Back then they'd harvest like crazy for a good month to get it all done. A single big machine could probably do the same or better now.

interesting about the French built 500`s I am certain that 4 and 500`s were built in Scotland from the very early 60`s and I am certain that they were imperial in production. I am certain that no 92`were built there as MF sold the French built 892 I think in the UK for one year only as they were slow getting the factory to produce the 4-500 series after stopping the 780 probably due to industrial disputes which I believe killed the Scottish plant in the end

 

The MF board has certainly closed the Kilmarnock factory in the beginning of the 70' because they have 3 combines factory ( Scotland, France, and Germany) only for Europa, and because the Marquette and Kilmarnock factory were doing the same product.
MF was certainly the only company which made the same combine in 3 factories in the same time : 510; 510-7 and 510-8.

 

I don't know who was the first but JD offered AC cabs in the late 50s. Also, we bought a 510 new in 1963. Must have been one of first ones.

 

Make that 1964, the year the 510's were introduced, 95guy.

 

bonjour à tous ,je suis nouveau sur ce forum, je collectionnes toutes les documentations sur les moissonneuses MF.
sur un bulletin d'information d'avril 1961 imprimé en France c'est la SUPER 92, qui n'a jamais été commercialisée chez nous , la 892 était Francaise et elle était commercialisée depuis 1960 jusqu'en 1965.
en 1965 sortait la 99 ,remplacente de la 892.
la MF 300 n'a jamais été commercialisée en Europe.
les 400 ,500 et 510.7 sont arrivées en France en 1963 ( fabrication en Ecosse) reconnaisable aux polarités de la batterie :le + à la masse.
à partir de 1964 apres l'arret des chaines de montage des 890 ,892, 99 en France à Marquette- lez -Lille , les 400 ,500 et 510.8 les ont remplacées .
en 1966 est introduit la MF 410.7 dans la gamme.
en 1968, les 410.8 et 510.8 sont équipées de la nouvelle coupe "quick- attach" européenne, reconnaisable aux réglages de l'avancement hydraulique des rabatteurs. Elles ont été construite jusqu'en 1970. en 1971 : nouvelles 520/525et 620/625.
à bientot !
