I think that the Massey DX (Detroit Experimental)driveline based machines must be up there with the longest. They were introduced in Coventry in 1956 when a great deal of money was invested in transfer lines to gear the factory for mass production. These same lines were in use making fundamentally the same gearboxes up until last year when AGCO decided that they knew best. I saw the lines being cut up with an oxygen lance a few weeks ago, when buying some kit from the factory, which was very upsetting. By my reconning the basic driveline was used from the 35, 65 etc through 100, 200, 500, 600, 4200 and 4300 series tractors. But it doesn't stop there because it is still in use both by licencees in countries such as Turkey adn India, and also in Brazilian MF Tractors. I recon that's the same machine, although improved over the years, built for 48 years and counting.
