couple of European posters showed some of the road worthy ones running around UK and Europe. Fendt as mentioned was one of newer ones. Some German Hanomag(?) had industrial/road pullers with fenders, lights front suspenion axles with brakes and transverse leaf springs. Canadian and Irish posters noted a variation of MF165, 2165 for road use. Had a transverse leaf spring front sort of like a Model A Ford with arms triangled to near center of under frame that acted as brake reaction arms, under and over drive second transmission , speed of 35 mph for road use. Fenders had turn signals front and rear. Seems the Canadian road worker crews used some for mowers and moderately fast towers of wagons that had rear brakes and a tungue master cylinder, inertia coupler like some boat trailers. Irish poster noted a similar MF sold in Ireland and some of UK, variations of 135, 165 models supposed to be available for export, some went to Australia and Canada, USA for some customers. Fridays and Loves were special 'Orchard/road tractors for Michigan fruit and veggy growers use- road speed for hauling harvest to processors, drive train was Chrysler flathead 6 with multiple truck transmissions. MIGHT be able to find one of the road worthy MF units in USA from a highway maintainence dept surplus - state DOT and city municipal customers seemed to be the main customers for those rigs in USA, likely they were exempt from the sign and speed limit rules for other farm tractor users as government agencies.
