I agree with Alberta Mike on workability.
You are in the ideal state if you want to purchase
a MH. Ontario's back country is strewn with
MH parts and you shouldn't have any problem getting parts. MF dealers (village dealers)
still carry the parts and Ford Tractor dealers
still carry carb kits. Clutch parts are still
available. My MF dealer will do a complete engine
job with no hassles. The MH's usually have less value than (x)N
series of ford tractors in this area. Having 2
MH30's, turned out OK for me and except for rims
had no problem finding parts. I found out it's
better to have 2 MH's of the same model. I would make a list of everything molded on
your tractor, ie:rims, distributer cap, governors, water pumps, etc and just ask around to see if
you can get parts, if you can, go for it. Parts like rads you can find an alternative. Someone told me that the transmissions on
the MH of the 50's were mostly interchangable
between models, that's another plus if true. You might find other parts you can swap with your other tractor as well. Any MH with 3PH will have more value than a
straight puller. Ford's have more value, but I
find the MH's relatively stronger.
