My dad baught a new 165 in 1965 and had the dealer change it over to a narrow front so he could put a mounted corn picker on it it was traided in around 1978 on a 265
 
Farming here in America is so diverse. I see post on here all the time about certain types of tractors and equipment being rare or seldom seen. This 165 Massey is an example. Down south there used to be hundreds (maybe thousands) of these row-crop 165 diesels everywhere. I"ve never seen any other type but I guess they are out there. I see post about the rarity of Row-crop Ford tractors, like the 700, 900, 741, etc. I"ve seen bunchs through the years. They have never been rare in the South. I even posted something myself once about a "six-row disk" and good lots of replies like, "what do you mean by six-row disk?" Well down here most everyone identifies a disk by the number of 40 inch rows it will cover. Apparently, everywhere else, they are identified by the width in feet.
 
Our 165s in Britain look a lot different and have a larger engine (Perkins ad 4.212) We also got models that were not available in North America. Plus, we had cabs fitted to some tractors.

you did good, there may have been many of these narrow front tractors in the south. but not so much around west ky.

I finally found this picture of a nf 180 on a brochure on ebay, once, I did see a 175 nf on a truck going through our town, it was the only nf mf that I ever saw.
