As most of you know by now, I love Red Tractors (I think I have told everyone). But.....this one is yellow!
This Saturday I am going to look (prob will buy) a MF Executive. I'm pretty pumped about it right now, need someone to bring me down a bit. Lol. It does not run and the seller said that the cylinder is pitted. I'm not sure if it is the 8 or 7 and he was not sure. I did notice it is missing the battery box cover and the lower part of dash.
Anyone know about these? Does not have mowing deck...anyone have one? If someone has one, I will probably come home with it.
This is it:
I also found another one that is in really bad shape that I can pick up as a parts tractor.
Cool! The 230's were nice little tractors, I don't think a heck of a lot changed on them from the 1971 MF135 we have. It doesn't get used much anymore though, just so small, but cheap to run and easy to find parts. Good for moving hay around, running the rake, stuff like that. Leave the rest to the bigger tractors.
I just checked out your YouTube. Man! I'm so jealous. If we slow down at work...I'm going to call you and stay in your barn for a week... I just want to help.
I wish I could find one like that. My dad had one when I was a kid, it was a 1964 I think, he got it used in about 68. When we moved to the country, the piece of ground he bought had to be cleaned up, it was an old hay field grown over in big blue stem and small buck brush, that little Massey and me done a lot of mowing. It plowed snow from the drive in the winter, backfilled a cellar. That was a great tractor.
Cool find, looks to be a good base for a restoration. What are your plans for it . I'm a Massey guy myself, we have a 66' 35 FE with 1600 hours and a '97 390T with 1600 hours
I've seen 2 executives in my life. One awaiting restoration, and the other is at someone's house locally. It's the nicest unmolested machine ive seen, and it's sitting there rotting away. I started a thread with pictures years ago, you should be able to find it if you click my username if your interested

would like to see pictures of that tractor...but this thread is just about 3 years old...so not sure the interest is the same as it was back then...but if you really do want to sell it...we do have a classified section on this forum where you can show it for sale
