Very rare tractor!

[rhurco]

This is a photo of a very rare tractor that i have been working on for several years and have been pulling it at most of the local pulls in my area. I was wondering if anyone else out there has one of these or knows where there are any at.

I can't tell for sure but it looks like a 65 massey ferguson. If thats the case a farmer has one for sale right beside where I work but it's not LPG and we have one setting on the farm thats gas. We've had it for 37 year nad as far as I know it's never been covered at all and it still starts every spring without any hesitation. I'm slowly starting to rebuild it but it's hard when your still using it weekly.

Just out of curiousity...aren't ROPS and seatbelts required during those pulls?

Isn't that a super 98? Fairly rare where I live in central NC, cause most feilds were to small for the bigger dead pull tractors, as we called them. Most didn't have a 3PH and were drawbar tractors. Very little LP around her also.
MM made one just like it IIRC. Later, Nat

for most of the "stock" classes no.

That looks like a Massey Ferguson 65. If it is it aint that rare, at least here in the UK. Theres lots of them around in various states of disrepair and the occasional good one.

They were the MF 35 bigger sister and the predecessor to the MF 165.
