Dad bought a 1966 MF 165 in 1969 I believe and I am in need of where to find Massey Ferguson parts as I believe I need to replace everything associated with the ignition system. I'm just talking like the distributor parts, cap, rotor, points and condenser, new spark plugs and wires, etc. In the IH/Farmall world we have very well known suppliers for on-line parts and don't have a clue who they might be in MF land. I know the spark plug wires are the originals and look in poor shape for sure. I prefer the custom made sets with both ends installed and not one of those do-it-yourself kits. I don't even have an idea of what spark plugs are needed for working in the hay fields and doing some occasional dirt tillage work as the operators manual doesn't state the preferred ones. Dad was not someone who maintained equipment per the manual and just had them fixed when they wouldn't run anymore so I'm trying to make the tractor a turn-key performer again. The engine was overhauled at 2500 hours and it presently has approx. 200 hours since then. The closest MF dealership is approximately 60 miles one way from the farm which is why I'm looking for on-line sources. Any recommendations and suggestions in securing parts will be most appreciated, Hal.
