Replacement cab metalwork parts are difficult to obtain. Mechanically they share most major components with other MF models from the period, I remember being told (dont know how true this is) that the tramsmission and drivetrain of the 699 could cause problems due to the extra power/ torque of the 6 cylinder engine when used on heavy draft work.   [Reply]  [No Email] phillip d 03-09-2009 17:37:20 142.176.58.239 20255 Report to Moderator Re: Massey699 in reply to Cooker.308, 03-08-2009 05:30:52   I'm not 100 on this but I think one of my cousin's had a 699.It wasn't a real big looking tractor,but it still had a 6 cyl perkins with 90-100 hp.Does this sound like the unit you are concidering?I never heard any complaints from him on his anyways.pd.   [Reply]  [No Email] [Options]  [Printer Friendly]  [Return to Forum]   [Add a Reply] Hop to: Another Forum Tractor Talk Tool Talk Restoration Tips Paint & Bodywork Implement Alley Tractor Transporting Allis Chalmers Case Combines Crawlers Farmall & IH Ford Ford 9N,2N & 8N Fordson John Deere MH & MF Harry Ferguson Minneapolis Moline Oliver & Cockshutt Garden Tractors Orphans Stationary Engines Today's Tractors Memorabilia Tractor Tales Using Your Tractor Tractor Pulling Site Comments Test Forum Buyer Seller Feedback Kountry Life Classic Trucks
