Hello fellow Massey fans! I have a local deal who is trying to sell me a MF 2745, showing 1200 hrs, but dealer says has 1800 hrs. I believe it to be a 24 speed. Looks weathered, needs a muffler or straight pipe, cab kit, and has some leaks either from the power steering or fuel pump. They want $6500 out of it. What is the real deal with these machines, are the any good? I know guys that love them and guys that hate them, but other than the trany is the common issue, no one can tell me what to look for, or how to fix it, should I buy one. Also, should I buy one, can the PTO"s be swapped out like on the 1130"s and 1155"s, or is it always going to be a 1000 PTO? One last thing, I've seen some guys are looking for 1130"s and 1150"s, there is a widow woman who has one of each, which she has been trying to sell for several years here in N. Indiana. 1130 = "69 (I think) with +/- 1900 hrs, t-rails, full weights, might need a sleeve kit, $4500. 1150 = +/- 2800 hrs, new rears and dual with cast centers, cab, 540 pto, some weights , $5500. They have some leaks. I think he has been gone for 7 years now, and they"ve set inside since. Thanks for the help! cg
