I have a chance to buy a 165 for 1000. Been sitting about 7-8 years, not stuck, fuel tank gone. Dont know hours. Looks
straight. Grandpa passed and been sitting. I know very little about Massey, never been around them. Whats everyones opinion.
Buy or run?
 
Is it a 265 or 165? Both are good tractors. If they didn't mind you tinkering with it, maybe figure out a way to get fuel to it and bring a battery. If it runs I'd jump on it. Otherwise, I'd offer $500 so if it is a junker, you could part it/scrap it and make your money back at least. Diesel?
 
Sorry, I must be drunk. 265 diesel. They drained all fuel including pump and filter. I turned the fan by hand. One rear flat with fluid leaking, other three look fair.

I paid $1500 for a MF2135 gasser with 4 almost brand new tires that had been sitting a few years. Took me about 15 minutes to get it running, and took about another $1000 to get it to working condition.

Did you feel any compression when you turned it by hand?
