Have a chance to buy a MF 65 high crop. 1964, made in the UK. Perkins diesel. Two brand new rear tires and two front tires in excellent shape. Three pt. 1 hydro remote and pto. Guy is asking $3000. Seems a bit high. Are they rare? I cant find anything about production numbers. Thanks for the help.
 
Doesn't seem high to me. It actually seems pretty reasonable for a diesel tractor of that size/age in good shape.
 
Two new rear tires, and with the front tires in excellent condition is around $1000.00 so $3000.00 for 65 high crop is a deal (at least around here where I live).
 
So whats it worth? If I get it and want to resale it what is it worth, I dont want to be upside down in it. Thanks
 
Don't know how many high crop diesel 65 were made in 1964, but it has to way less than the standard height models. How much it's worth, it really depends on how good all the mechanical systems are, and the sheet metal/paint (beat up, bad paint). Making a lot of money on old tractors is not easy to do these days. If you don't need to spend a lot of money on it you should get a little more get more than you put into it.
 
Here is a picture of it. Everything works on it.

What makes it made in the UK? It looks like the normal US version to me with exception of that air cleaner. I would like to see a better picture. Not really a rare tractor but if the rest of it looks as good as the tires and rims that's a fair price. I think I've got like $2400 on the back of mine.
 
(quoted from post at 06:20:33 11/14/16) The proper term for it is "High Arch". They are not rare. I grew up on one.




While it is a high arch, in different parts of the country some call them high crop, in other parts of the country some call them row crop. Just like rotary mowers are often referred to bush hogs, shredders, and slashers.
 
It is not rare, it is useful. Not an antique, a working machine. 3 grand for something with a Perkins diesel to get a job done tomorrow is not bad at all anywhere.
