Well I'm a ji case guy but I was talking to a friend about my tractors and he said I got and old tractor sitting behind a pole barn in the bushes you can have if you get it out of there.So I said sure what is it and he says I'm not sure a massey something it's been there at least 15 years so I'm thinking 15 years it's stuck and rusted to peices.Well I grab my tools a machete and a chain I get there where it is supposed to be and no tractor so I call him he says it's there I'm not kidding I walked passed it 4 times within 6 ft and didn't see it vines had grown over it like a blanket so I start choping away and to my surprise it's in great shape just some surface rust .As I check it out its a massey ferguson 65 with 38" rubber gas engine I'm thinking who put 38s on a massey ferguson I didn't no they made a high clearance at the time so I'm looking it over and I'm impressed power steering front and rear remotes live pto 3 point hitch so I drain the feul clean the carb change the oil clean the point's through a battery in it and the damn thing starts right up good oil pressure but the clutch is stuck and I can't figure out the 3 pt hitch and needs 2 front tires but it's free I tried to drag it out and ripped the brush guard off but I think it's my next restoration maybe even take it along to a couple tractor pulls maybe I'm a case/massey ferguson guy lol here's a pic were I found it and I keep posting updates trougout the process iguess the vines protected it over the years there's actually a bush hog hooked to it also bonus thanks for reading
