    MF65 "Multipower" does not work.

    I checked out a local Massey Ferguson 65 yesterday. The early models had 6F-2R, the usual 3spd with hi-lo range. That all works fine. This is a '64 with the "Multipower" option, an addition high range. When the lever is pushed nothing happens. The linkage all the way to the tranny case is...

    Been looking for a tractor for a while. Looked at all the new ones. Was looking at Craigslist tonight and there are several 65s and 165's for sale around $4-6K.

    MF65 Power Steering Pump

    Anyone have a good used power steering pump for a MF65 gas engine? Or do you know who might have one or a rebuild kit? I have searched around and I’ve found a lot for 65 diesel, but none for gas? Big Dean in Oklahoma is checking a possibility for me… but thought I would ask here also… Thanks...
