[QUOTE="john250, post: 689473, member: 4406"] I'm trying to sell it as collectible. MF 130. No, I don't mean MF 135. Dad bought this beauty cheap in 1967 or thereabout. Made in France. The gauges are in English, French and German. Described by someone on yesterdays tractors.com as Masseys worst idea. It has a 4 cyl Perkins diesel which was frequently installed in boats. (As an anchor) The oilpan weighs about 150 lbs, good for ballast. The brakes are exquisite calipers which squeeze an internal disc, and the pads last about an hour. Most of the time I have driven the beast, I did it without brakes. Fortunately, the 8 speed tranny shifts pretty well so you can use that on hills. It smokes when it runs, and has since the first day we owned it. It has 30 horses, maybe 35 on a good day. It has pulled a lot of wagons, and as a high school kid I mowed hundreds of acres of pasture with a 6 foot Massey dyna balance sickle bar. Does being a crappy tractor spoil my chances of selling this for big bucks as a collectible? [/QUOTE]
