Anybody know what Massey this might be? I know nothing about it, have no connection to it. Just saw the ad and that it's an LP model. I don't know much about MF.

Looks a bit like an MF 95. Built by Minneapolis Moline. Take a look at Tractordata.com.

I was wondering about that but didn't think the hood looked long enough. I'll have to take another look.

Looking again, maybe it's the LP tank that makes the hood look shorter. Looks like an MM engine with the paired cylinders.

Yep, that's a Minnie Ferguson

I'm wondering if the LP is a rare model. Tractor data doesn't mention an LP engine, only a diesel. A thread on Smokstack mentioned that there were only either 400 or 100 LP tractors built.

Zooming in on the hood, you can see the remains of a 97 decal, but there are a few parts that would make me think Super 95. Regardless as others have said, of MM origin, similar to the GVI and G705. Not particularly rare, but not common either. Price is appropriate, base value is 7000 lbs at the scrap yard.

There were only 100 of the 95 propane models made. Not sure about the 97 propanes. This is a picture of mine.

There were 435 MF 97 LP built. By comparison, there were 1223 yellow ones. According to one of the books I have.

That's what I read too. But I suppose the engine is likely junk with the busted up exhaust on this one. Probably been raining in for decades.

That sounds about right.
