MF 1526: Rear Lights

[Paystar]

No Can Do. The Paystar had a C13 Acert Cat 485 in it. I wanted a C15 but at that time they were on back order so went with the C13 and was really impressed with it. It pulled great. Had 2 friends with same trucks, same gearing and they had ISX 565's in theirs and I could stay right on their tailgates up the hills.
After that truck I ran emissions ISX 600 and a DD15 that made me hate life, LOL.

& I thought they only ran( I/H ) Cummins & Maxforce , Totally get the emission buzz kill, That's why I went with that M-F 1526 , No regen,DPF, Or DEF & it has the power I need & the old 59 M-F 50 if gasoline,But I can still get red diesel if it where a diesel for the 50. Thank You for your reply.

Ya, International used Cat until Cat pulled out of the on road market. Now it's just Cummins and the A26.

I feel the same way. While Massey was always my favorite, I have no dealers close by, but have a Kubota/Deere dealer that treats me like gold. So I stayed with a 26 h.p. B2620 that has no DPF. Then I just bought the RTV which has the same D1105 engine. Next I want to get a U27 which also uses the D1105.
And have my 1955 Allis Chalmers CA.
I do want an antique Massey and have been dying to go to the Mecum Gone farming auction but this covid crap screwed me out of that three times now. I want to go when I can go see the tractors in person and not have to talk through a mask.

Hey Paystar! Thanks for the feed back on that Cat engine , Have You seen those medium duty Silverado by Chevrolet? They're building that class truck for I/H in a joint partnership.& on a different note I think this Covid 19 has been just that! But I digress ,I went out of my way to get both of the M-F's The 59 M-F 50 I have had for 25 years now . & I bought it used & was the 1st tractor I've owned or anyone in our family! & when I wanted a new tractor with a FEL & 4wd I bought the M-F 1526 & it was a perfect match to work with the dump truck & seeing how reliable the 50 was I stuck with M-F. The J D dealer was the closest to my house about 5 miles & the Kubota dealer was about 14 miles away, But if your dealers treat You good I can see you going with them.My brother just bought his 1st ever tractor & bought a M-F GC 1723EB & just took delivery last week. & believe or not I had very little influence on his decision! I use to watch on RFDTV Mecum gone farming auction whenever they had it on but it was usually a rerun they had on Sat. But I have a different provider now & they don't carry the network, & I do miss that network.Take it easy have fun & be safe.

Yes, I have seen the CV/Silverado Can Do. I used to follow truck models pretty close. But I'm finally slowly getting out of that. I am an International guy at heart though.
When I started tractor shopping I wanted a GC. Tried one out and loved it. Then starting thinking I should go a bit bigger and get a 1526. But like I said Massey dealers are 4 hours and more away from me. Just happened to go to my Kubota dealer one day and they treated me great. Funny thing is Kubota wasn't even on my list, LOL Now they are all I buy.

RFD-TV is the only channel I watch. We just got it about two years ago in Canada on Shaw. The Mecum Auction is still on there.

I gotta get there some day. Those tractors sell cheaper than I can get one painted for. They had a beautiful restored Massey 35 at the last one. But I really want a Super 98 with the Detroit Diesel. I've ran a lot of Detroits in the past.

Paystar! I was checking out a Super 98 & it looks allot like my 50, Just bigger ! Quite a history on who made those for Massey-Ferguson , There is 1 for sale at Tractor House located in Tenn. & has been recently restored with a cab & the Detroit diesel what a beast asking price on it was $25,000 ,The cab has dual rear doors reminds me of a M.M. cab. I also like the International trucks drove DuraStars,TranStars & a ProStars The last being my favorite with a Cummins & who doesn't like the LoneStar But my all time favorites are the Chevrolet 90 & the Titan from the 70's those where the best looking conventional & cabovers that Chevrolet made IMHO .

No I never Can Do. Not really able to do anything right now anyway. Border here is still in the flu lockdown.

I like to go look at stuff in person when I buy. I don't always trust pictures.

One of those would be nice because I am good friends with a retired Detroit Diesel mechanic and I know he can make one run strong!
