1973 mf12g
Serial# 1446 803468
Picked this up this morning from poncho62
Parts tractor.
Missing starter, front vari drive belt, ignition switch, rusted out deck, 1 rear tire n/g, motor has no compression, +???
This tractor has a glass sediment fuel bowl, cigarette lighter, light kit and a mystery bracket on the left rear fender.
The pictures make this one look a lot better than it is, but that's OK cause all I wanted was a parts tractor.
Drove buy a house that had 4 Massey GT sitting outside, stopped in on the way back and found a 38" wide MF650 tiller complete. Tried to buy it fellow said it wasn't his and the owner wants $2200. for the tiller, blower, mower deck, and a MF10 tractor with a 20hp Kohler Vtwin, package deal. Left my # and an offer for just the tiller.Doug in Markham Ontario Canada

I tried to trade this plus some cash for that tiller but no luck the guy I talked to would have gone for it but the tiller is not his. The guy who owns the tiller needs a lift handle assembly for his MF10 with the Vtwin on it so I still might get that tiller yet.

Doug, does the mower deck have the small cover? I have the big cover for mine but not the small one that goes around the gear box.

Yes it does, you mean these 2 small plates that go around the gear box, the picture is another deck, I think I have 3 set's of these.

Yep that be them. I didn't know if it would be one piece or two piece but two piece makes more sense.

Congrats on your new parts tractor! As to the mystery bracket I wonder if it could have had a soft side cab on it at one time and that could have been the bracket that held the door shut. Some of the cabs had a steel rod formed for the door and the material sowed around that. It looks like it could have a wide enough groove in it to hold that rod and hold the door.
You can never have to much stuff, but you can run out of room!
Still plays with tractors!

Story goes this one sat outside for a few years. I think people just put them out in back lot instead of scraping them.

- 04-26-2010 08:42 AM #11hooliganGuest Even if its a tarp with a block on it, I dont understand why someone wont cover their equipment, I've bought a couple like that, but just 25-50 parts machines. It really isn't a issue for me I RARELY see a Massey around here anyway. I search craig list and they are thick up around PA Originally Posted by DH1

Masseys have always been popular up here, there was a MF tractor plant in Toronto for a lot of years.

I think anyone who cares much for their tractors do put them under cover,at least I would hope. Originally Posted by hooligan Maynard
