Ferguson 3 ton Trailer

At the moment it has no timber bed or sides, the main steel work is in good condition and the hydraulics work and it tips.

What I am looking for is info on timber sizes for the bed and sides, all so the height of the sides, (the sides drop into slots in the bed and do not hinge down like the MF trailer)

If anyone can help I would be pleased to hear from you.

Thanks in advance,

Bob.

I don't know if that particular Ferguson piece of equipment was ever sold here in the States or not. *But* I had some success getting a couple of old Ferguson implement manuals from, I believe, Agco who I think owns Massey-Ferguson.

I went to my local Massey-Ferguson dealer first and was told the manuals were not available. Well, I did a web search and wrote to the corporate headquarters asking for their help in locating the manuals. They obviously did a lot of work and found the manuals in one of their technical libraries--I even got several update emails over the course of about 2-3 weeks as they searched! They made copies of the old manuals and mailed them to me gratis...surprised the heck out of me, but I guess the good will was worth it to them.
