MF30 Massey Ferguson
Lucky Acquisition
Model Year: 1970

Purchased 53 additional acres, lock, stock and barrel. This old MF 30 Industrial was junked near the shop bldg. A Kubota 4050, in good working order, was the boss tractor. Decided, as I am prone to do, to figure out what was wrong with the old Massey. Cleaned plugs, checked oil, added gas and battery, cleaned points... fired up with little hesitation. The clutch didn't work; adjusted the clutch. Surprise! Works like a new one. New tires and it hasn't stopped working yet.

Pros: Strong, dependable, traction for days...
Cons: Old, no remote hydraulics, no seat cushion or springs.

MF30 Massey Ferguson
MF30 Industrial Excellent Machine
Model Year: 1972

Had the usual misc problems when I got it, rod seal leakage, hose fittings leaking, tires were cracked. Biggest was it had the wrong spark plugs. Fixed the 5 rod seals and one cyl. body seal, swapped 4 hoses, correct plugs and it's been a powerhouse ever since. I highly recommend it.

Pros: Hydrodrive is great on the mountainsides.
Cons: Cab is open and colder than heck at 10,000 feet.
