Just check the tractor you're looking at, and if it's OK, don't worry about a thing. Ferguson, and then Massey-Ferguson, built as good a small and mid-sized tractor as anyone. They were extremely popular. They still are. There are so many still running, that most people looking for this size tractor, end up buying Massey's. That leads to a lot of "first time tractor buyers" getting these gems. That in turn, leads to them being abused, and misused. Then they want to blame the tractor. I have seen a bunch of these tractors with thousands of hours on them, with little or no trouble. The 135, 150, 165, and 175 Massey's are just about as good a tractor as anyone ever made. (And that is from a guy that bleeds green!) Every tractor ever built has it's "most common problem". The Massey Ferguson 100 series "problem" is that it has lasted to the point where they are getting "relatively in-expensive" compared to newer tractors, so the ones still around are falling into the hands of people that hammer the daylights out of them, and then don't take care of them. Just wait untill the tractors being built today, get to be 25 or 30 years old. Most of them will be too expensive to fix, and will not be around to see the day when they are "cheap used tractors". Just my opinion. (And that of millions of others)
