I am thinking of going to look at a 1130 for sale in my area. Are these things any good? What are there strong and weak points? what about parts availability? I haven't been around any massseys so any help will be appreciated.

Complex hydraulic system, any metal or contamination will goober up the whole system. Neighbor had a 1130, 1100, and a 1080 all new at the time. Took a lotta abuse. My brother had a 1100.

The multipower, (or amplitorque, hi/lo, or t/a)will freewheel in low going downhill. The brakes have accumulation for 1 and only one stop with the engine out. Do not depress the brake when you light the engine, it will fling your right foot over your shoulder. If you stall out on the road with 12 T of corn behind you don't let it get away from you, did I mention about the 1 stop rule in the accumulator. The brakes are terrific if the engine is running.

The 1100 and the 1130 engine look the same but for the turbo, but the 1130 has a lotta internal mods to take the stress.

IF you get the chance, plow with it. If it will hi/lo multi power and pull the plows out of the ground on the fly the hydraulics are ok.

My brothers would bi center one front wheel with the steering all the way to one side. Your steering is hydraulic too, going down a hi crown road, you will slowly have to turn left to keep going straight.

Not all had differential lock.

Monster oil capacity in the engine.

You will also have down pressure on the 3 pt hitch.

Tie the weather cap down if you truck it, the turbo will spin from the breeze.

I've had a 1100 for years and am very happy with it. Ernie is right on in his comments. One other thing to look at is the front axcel and wheels. On some of the older ones the axcel and wheels where made of cast iron, which made for a very heavy front end. the later ones had a welded steel axcel and press steel wheels, which where much better. The original front wheels where 17 inch, I changed mine to 16" so I could use 4-rib front tires.
