where is this recycling place? I have a 760 and am looking for a sheet metal grain tank cover like the one on the 860,865. However, I am from Germany, which certainly makes things more difficult

Hi Colin! I'm make modifications for the Farming Simulator game, and would love to make one of these as a project. Is there any chance you could get me some up measurements of your 24? Thanks.

Hello, I have read with interest the story of your MF515. I have an MF 187 which is in running order and has cut a few acres this year. I am near Andover and have great interest in old combines.
