Need opinions. To buy, or not to buy Not a Case.

That is the question. A fella I sorta know came to me this week and wondered if I wanted to buy his MF 16. I said I don’t know. I don’t needed it. And don’t really want it. So I told him I’d have to see it. It has a deck with it, only attachment. Deck needs welding he says. And the pto doesn’t work. My interest in it was the 16 hp engine. And maybe if it had a three point hitch.
So went to see it today. Tractor starts and runs. It’s in so so shape. No 3 point hitch. And the engine is k301 instead of a k341. That’s a drag. If I take it, we sorta settled on a $200.00 price.

What do yous think ?

Reasonable priced by my way of thinking. Because of being Massey it gets points from me. They are one of the best looking tractors out there when restored. The negative is no 3 point. Should be able to make a little money on it with a little work. Not restored but looking and running right should bring 300-500 US to right person. Hard to say without seeing and hearing it run.

I am a lot more picky in my old age than when I was younger..

Noel, it seems like you are trying to talk yourself out of it. Looks like a little bit of a project
at least it runs.
So the $200.00 question is, do you want or need another project?

[propane1]

Don’t need it. And really has no attachments I want. Son seems interested in it.

This one would make number 11 Eugen. Good thing is, the would never know I got it.

Like all the older breads . There are those that swear by them . All old iron is getting rarer . If you can't do something with it hope your son or some one else can .

Also good for parts!

Yes. I have a MF 14. Same tractor. Other than engine size.

Looks like good barter material when you find a Massey collector who's acquired a Case/Ingersoll.
