    Z134 Alternator conversion bracket source in Canada?

    Hi all, The gas Massey 50 I purchased had a long-ago 10SI alternator conversion done. They continued to use the generator bracket, but used a grinder to cut a slot in the middle of the lower alternator mounting 'ear' to slide over the end of the generator bracket. Inventive, and it clearly...

    Which carb on my MF 50?

    Thanks all - I was able to find the tag and it is indeed a TSX-683. Rebuild kit is arriving tomorrow!

    Massey 50 - Need new tach and alternator / generator

    Hi all, My basket-case MF50 was converted to an alternator at some time in the past - a 3-wire 10SI. The tach was never hooked back up, and the gauge is now destroyed. At this point, I need to replace the alternator (seized) and tach (that's important info to me), and I'm looking for...

    Which carb on my MF 50?

    Hi all, I just purchased a basket-case 1959 MF 50. It's been sitting for 10+ years, so I expect I'm going to have to rebuild the carb. I know it's a MS-style carb, but what would have been the original part? A TSX-683?

    MF 230 fuse holder cover knob

    Hi all. So, I happened to drop the fuse holder cover knob for my MF230. Or more accurately, I placed it in my pocket for safekeeping, unaware of the hole in my pocket that it would opportunistically use to escape to freedom. I found the part number in the Agco parts book: 1010110M91...

    Housings and lamps for a MF230

    Hi all. I have an MF 230 which I've had for a few years. It's a great little machine for blowing snow and mowing our pasture. That said, it needs an electrical overhaul. At some point, the start switch was replaced with a generic unit and the NSS bypassed. The only functioning electrical...

    Massey 35 w/ the 4-cyl diesel

    Well, It's not 'my' tractor (currently for sale), but yes, it has the head with the glow plugs. One of my TODO's would be to change to pencil-style glow plugs. Unfortunately, it's currently not running due to sitting ;(

    Massey 35 w/ the 4-cyl diesel

    So, a nice looking MF35 with the 4-cyl diesel came up for sale for $1500 CAD (~$1150 USD). It looks straight, nearly new tires, and has a loader on it. However, it apparently hasn't run in 4 years. It was hard starting (typical for this engine, I guess) and they just stopped using it. I...

    IH 330 value and questions about Fasthitch

    Hi all. There is an IH 330 for sale locally, currently $1500 CAD (~$1150 USD). It looks very straight and well kept, no rust visible in pics, except for some surface rust in the rear rim centers. Tires look fairly new. I've done some googling and know a bit about the tractor, but since...

    David Brown 900 - thoughts?

    Well, the yellow was sprayed over green, which is sprayed over the original red and blue. I think it had three point at one time as the controls are still there on the right hand fender.

    David Brown 900 - thoughts?

    I went to go look at the tractor tonight. It's definitely a 900. Here's the sale link for anyone else interested: https://www.kijiji.ca/v-equipement-agricole/ottawa/tractor-david-brown-900/1372292036?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true So, on the good side - it runs, shifts and stops. On...

    MF230 Not starting after bleeding fuel system

    Just to follow up, in hindsight I hadn't bled the injectors enough. The total time required to bleed the injectors was probably 2 minutes of cranking total (with several minutes of rest for the starter to cool between 10-15 second start attempts). I had to swap out the battery for a charged...

    David Brown 900 - thoughts?

    I have a chance to pick up a working, although rough-looking 990 for $700CAD. What are people's experience with these? Is there a serial number cutoff after which all units have the live PTO? Or was it optional through the end of production? How is parts availability?
