Recently I've been shopping for a nice used tractor. I was going through some pictures and I found a picture of my great grandpas 1972 Massey ferguson 135. When he died my uncle inherited it and he wants to sell it for 5000 dollars. The tractor is all original with about 2500 hours. It was always taken care of and it never was abused. And It comes with a couple implements. Is 5000 a good price?

That is crazy high!!! I paid 2500.00 for mine

But it comes with a pile of implements and it's showroom condition

My wife's family bought a brand new gas, no power steering, 135 in the 1970's. When they moved south about 8 years ago my wife and I bought it. Last fall we sold it in one day for $5,700. (with a 25 year old rotary cutter)

We've had a couple of 135's over the years and they are fine machines. Around here a 135 in good shape is frequently a $4,000 - $5,500 purchase. I think your uncle's price is bang on the money. If you were closer I'd be tempted to buy it.

The tractors sat in a barn for about 6 years after my grandpa died in 2008. My grandpa loved it though, he replaced all the tires because they were cracking. He even had it completely repainted because it was fading slightly in some places

I like tractors and I'm curious. Is this a gas or diesel model? If gas, what brand engine?

P.S.
New paint? New tires? Now you're really tempting me!

It's a Perkins diesel with factory power steering. The paints good and the rear tires are great but it'll need front tires after a while

That's what I have but with a lot of hours and purrs. Lets see some pics

Trey318 · Mar 10, 2014

I don't have ant pics yet, it's located in Belmont North Carolina but I'm going to get it in about a month. I'd love to get it now but we are starting to plant and I've gotta be here for that

Trey318 · Mar 10, 2014

But as soon as I get her home and clean it up I'll be sure to put some pics up

Trey318 · Apr 16, 2014

I ain't got her yet but my uncle sent me some pics.

He didn't wash it that good but I'll get it waxed up when I get er home Monday

It looks pretty good to me trey. Those babies are built like a tank. That box blade almost looks too big. Does it pull it good when loaded? Thanks for posting the pictures.

Travis_R · Apr 17, 2014

Welcome to the family! It don't get no better than a Massey Ferguson!

That is a good price for a diesel with medium hours (goes for about x2 of what a gas does where I am from). Nice paint and taken care of, I assume everything works? MF135s are about as cool of vintage tractor ever made. Yet they are very useful, not just a parade queen.

Trey318 · Apr 17, 2014

It'll pull the box blade good since the tires are loaded

radrock · Apr 17, 2014

Well good. I think it was worth it especially being you know the tractor anyway.

I can tell you that tractor in that condition would be worth $5000 around Western Missouri....one thing that adds value to you is your Grandfather's Heritage...that's priceless to you to own a piece of your families heritage. I have customers that will hunt and find their families heritage model and price becomes no object if they can locate they want dads or grandpas tractor. Around here $2500 is what the Salvage Yard will pay for a tractor that is running. Your pictures prove it's worth the price and maybe more. That size and model is pretty hot market in West Central Missouri we have lots and lots of small farms.

Trey318 · Apr 19, 2014

I'll have her home either tomorrow or Sunday, depending on the rain. Along with the tractor i got 7 different implements that are all in great shape. Granddaddy tore down and repainted all his implements every 2 years so there all in great shape.
