A Massey 65 (gas) will be going on the auction block here in central Ky. in a few week and I might be interested in it if I can find out some things about it. I have no knowledge about a Massey 65. Will someone please supply me with some answers. What years were they made? What should I expect to pay for a decent one? What to look for to determine if it is a decent one? Are these dependable tractor? How hard are they to work on and what about parts prices? What is the HP? I have a Jubilee and a 8N now but would like a little more HP. Does this tractor have a cult following like the 8Ns do..... ..... E. Ray

Last year I totally redid an MF-65 that had been abused for many years. It was not hard to work on, but buying parts through my Massey dealer was costly. You can buy parts over the internet cheaper. My experience with buying parts on the web is that it can save you money, but it will cost you points on your blood pressure. Some parts I needed were simply not available through the dealer and could only be found at a salvage yard or over the internet. My tractor has a gas engine with overbored cylinders. I understand it has about 65 HP as a result. The standard G-176 gas engine, I think has about 55 HP. Now that mine is rebuilt, I wouldn't exchange it for a fleet of 8Ns.

I own a 1964 MF65 gas, high clearence. It's a great tractor, I wouldnt trade it for two 8n's. I think they started making them around 1957 or so and 1964 was the last till they went over to the 165 designation. I paid $4700.00 for mine last year. Dependability hasnt been a issue and it has started even when it's been 20 below out. Mine has the 3 speed with high and low, I hear that sometimes the powershift models can give you problems. Should be about 48 hp. It would be helpful if the machine has a diff. lock and powersteering. I know basic maintance is easy, I wouldnt know about parts price's cause I havent needed any and the god lord willin, I shouldnt for anoughter 20 years or so.
How do you like your Jubilee ? I love the way they look and I've been thinking of getting one to haul around trailers.
ps check your local barnes and noble book store for Massey Ferguson books.
