I have a question for you all.
A local used implement dealer has both a Massey 25 and Ford 201 Flex-O-Hitch disk. I know people love the Massey 25 but bearning parts are hard to find/expensive and these disks were contemporary to the MF 35/50/65 and probably early 100 series.
he wants last time I asked 500 bucks for the 25 and it"s gotten a "rattle can paint job"
Then he has a ford 201 roughly 7 feet wide. I"ve never seen one of these before and it looks heavier than the massey. Also most of the parts I"d need are still available from NH from I saw on the parts website. He wants 600 for that. It"s not been given a new paint job but there is no serial tag on the unit nor could I find where one was.
Any ideas? The prices seem a bit steep (to me at least) for both of them given their age but with hobby farmers and the scrappers buying up the old stuff I"m not sure what to think price wise.
Thanks
Christos
