Here are some higher resolution pictures. The tractor is a bit rough, but hey, it is a MF16 and there are not too many around.

Hi Mark
Great little tractor. Did it have a minor carb fire at one time?

It's not that rough. The hood may need some work but the rest of it looks pretty good to me.

Nice MF you have there. :thumbs:
I love the look of them & with the extra Hp, it'll be a real workhorse. How wide is that tiller anyways?


Thank you MH81. The tiller is quite heavy and much larger than my JD #31 and #33 models.

It is a Massey Ferguson Model #550 and is 44 inches wide. Now I need to figure out how it attaches. I do not have a hydraulic 3 point hitch on the back of the MF16.

That is my guess as well, I cannot think of any other reason for the discoloration. After the restoration, that blemish will be gone!

Pretty sure it uses the deck lift cylinder to run the tiller up & down.

It uses the mjd cyl for the deck to lift the tiller. The tiller mounts to the two axles and the upper rear plate.
