Modern Tractor Discussion Board Re: Massey699 [ Expand ] [ View Replies ] [ Add a Reply ] [ Return to Forum ] Posted by Powerfarmer on March 10, 2009 at 08:07:50 from (83.70.207.236): In Reply to: Massey699 posted by Cooker.308 on March 08, 2009 at 05:30:52: Look out for corrosion on the cab especially at the base of the cab pillars, the 600 series were well known for severe structural corrosion that could affect the ability of the cab to protect the driver in an incident/overturn. 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.
