I have gone and seen a MF 150 (Gas-Continental) that was fully restored and from what I was told the tractor was babied by the original owner prior the the restoration by a MF Dealer to display in their showroom.

What can you tell me about this tractor? What price would it be worth? There is a 3 point hitch installed but no other accessories. I am not sure of the age since I didnt get too deep into the conversation because I wanted input from some independant sources such as yourselves.

You appear to have an area of concern covered: a good, local dealer!
I had a MF165 gas tractor that worked well for me. It was replaced with a Kubota after two service calls still left gasoline dripping from the carburator. This was from my closest MF shop. The next nearest dealer would have ordered shear pins for my MF #3 baler, but only in lots of 100. Anyway, here in SE Wisconsin I do not think MF has the best support available.

In my humble opinion, there has never been a better small tractor built. (This is coming from someone who bleeds John Deere green) The 150 is actually a blown up 135 Massey ferguson. The 135 is one, if not THE most popular small tractor ever. The 150 uses the same engine, drivetrain, and most other componants as the 135. The 150 uses a slightly heavier front axle and axle bolster, a larger fuel tank, and a few other "minor" changes. They are better suited for loader work than a 135 because of the heavier front end. The 135 is a utility tractor, and the 150 is a "row-crop/utility". Regardless of engine, (Perkins/Continental) or fuel type, they are an outstanding tractor. If you can get one that's in good shape, and you can buy it at a reasonable price, JUMP ON IT! (Or tell me where it's at so I can get my hands on it!)

I'm thinking they were rated at about 38 HP. Made from 1964 to 1975 if memory is correct....

Good luck! John

What would a restored 150 be worth?

Talk about timing!
I got home a few hours ago. In the local paper was a restored (LIKE NEW) 150 MF, vintage 1969. New rubber, overhauled Perkins diesel, new seat, new paint, new decals, new exhaust. I called about it. The guy wanted $5400. I drove over to see it. (Less than 5 miles from the house) AsI pulled up, a trailer hauling the tractor drove past me. The first person that looked at it, bought it. Had he NOT, the SECOND person to look at would have. (That being ME!) In average shape, they sell for $4500 and up. This one was easily worth LOTS MORE! I've seen 'em sell for $6500 in the past couple years. Massey Fergusons are EXTREMELY popular around here. John

Is there a difference in value between Gas and Diesel models?

Depends on condition. Diesels showing a lot of wear drop down quickly. Gas seem to hold value pretty good. A GOOD running diesel will bring a nice price. Most people looking for a tractor that size are about split 50/50 between gas and diesel.
