When new, they were the power and the glory. Engine was a 382 Continental.. They would take a good sized implement and go and go and go. HOWEVER. Never, ever, ever lug them hard. The crankshaft will go boom. A pig to start in cold weather. Case used them for a few years in their 1000 crawlers in the late 50's. Good Luck.

What diesel? Perkins,3cyl- 4cyl. continnel, ect. MF35 & 135 with 3cyl Perkins diesels were the best of the Massey tractors. The rest were just soso. Super 55 Oliver tractors were very good. alvinnms
