La Manuel Selene era nei dintorni di Torino, ma ha chiuso negli anni 80 (vado a memoria), quindi la vedo difficile trovare un sito internet.

Hy Pudding,
unfortunately the Selene factory closed many years later and there aren't web infos or sites about it! In Italy many tractors were modified with the Selene system! I remember FIAT-OM models, expecially OM 35/40r, 45r, 512r, 50r. However I don't remeber other tractor company modified with this system...we have to ask to other members of the forum!
If you can wait, this afternoon I'll send you some photos of this tractors.

greetings everyone, thankyou for the pictures, selene was very common in the 70's and early 80's, Roadless and County used Selene for parts to build 4wd tractors. I seems strange that Selene does not have history on a website





this is pictures of a selene MF175, i am told they made these with ford tractors too, would be great to see one of these, i have a friend wanting to make a toy tractor version,

i found this on the net

the bottom article is interesting, i translated the text and got this

Beloved Giovanni,
He compliments for your job on Nuffield 3/55.
I have a friend who collects material of the Selene. To ask? he and to far?apere to you.
As far as the 4RM, Nuffield it has commercialized in Italy to leave from 1959 two models: 3DL4RM and DM4DE4RM. In the park tractors of 1965 I find 4 exemplary of first and the 22 of the second. I have a depliant of the DM4/50 without some signal to the Selene, whose pneumati there are 10,00-24 and the 11-36 back.
Still in the park tractors of 1983 I find 3 models DT beyond to those gi?oti: 350DT - 460 super DT and 470 super DT, respective with 6, 8 and 14 exemplary. Exists a model 3/55 but? 2 drive wheels. Probable E' that the Selene made the transformation after the registration the Uma, demanding later on a simple modernization that did not come statistically found. E' an opinion and I do not know how much is worth.
Me spiace not to be able to say of pi?ma step this letter to you to the readers of my page: perhaps someone knows some of devout? pu?iutarci.
Hello, William

from this i read that there were not many nuffield 4rm machines built by selene. Is this correct? Its very interesting

[Alfre]

Nuffield 4 rm

Per essere precisi(ma nn vorrei andare fuori tema)il Nuffield montava 2 tipi di trazioni,anzi 3.Un tipo usciva direttamente dalla casa e utilizzava componenti della Carraro,un tipo lo montava lìimportatore italiano,Vittorio Cantatore,mi sembra di Moncalieri su base anch'esso Carraro e un tipo veniva costruito dalla Selene.Infine ci sono delle macchine nord europee che montano un assale simil-Carraro.E poi ci sono gli isodiametrici dell'inglese Bray.Comunque la Selene cosrtuiva ponti anteriori per un po'tutti i trattori piu diffusi negli anni dal '50 ai primi '80.Citiamo Fiat,OM,Ford,MF,Steyr,ecc

[Pudding]

Thank you Alfre for your information )

I will continue searching for information, manuel selene seems to be a forgotten company in agriculture

[Carraro turbo]

HERE
you can see a Power Mayor with a 4wd conversion, but I don't know if it is a Selene.

THIS
is another major 4wd, i think that is a Selene conversion.

Fordson Major

Carraro la seconda foto e'una conversione della Roadless,c'e'anche scritto!Forse nn l'hai visto!

[2Drifter]

Ma Roadless usava anche parti Selene...

[Carraro turbo]

Carraro la seconda foto e'una conversione della Roadless,c'e'anche scritto!Forse nn l'hai visto!

Hai ragione. Ma a prima vista mi sembrava identica alla trazione Manuel di un Super Major 6 cilindri che ho visto.

[Alfre]

Roadless-Selene

Ho consultato i miei testi e ho scoperto che la Roadless utilizzava brevetti Selene!Risolto il mistero!

[cicc0]

salve possiedo un MASSEY FERGUSON 178 che monta un asse manuel selene, 3 anni fa o rotto il semi asse anteriore sx, ovviamente nn ho trovato il ricambio...
mi dissero che la JEPP willjs montava gli stessi semi assi
o trovato un semi asse di willjs e funziona tutt' oggi
grazie per l'attenzione


ps la dritta me ladata il grande WILLIAM DOZZA

Saluti a tutti, hello everybody
Io sono il Manuel della Selene perché all'epoca ero il bambino di nome Manuel del proprietario della Selene, e sono interessato a mettermi in contatto con chi si ricorda delle trasformazioni a 4RM della Selene. Alla Selene ho lavorato alcuni anni prima che la società venisse venduta e poi chiusa.
Chi lo desidera mi contatti via mail
I am Manuel, the son of the owner of the company Selene, and I am pleased to open conversations with those interested in the Manuel 4WD. I worked for a short time in Selene before the company was sold and than closed.
Please contact me by mail
