Will it run?? Massey Ferguson 65 Diesel Revival! Part 1

1964 Massey Ferguson 65 Diesel = 1 Happy Camper
In this video we go over the basics to get her running.

Thanks

"S" stands for Start, or Safety, i.e., forces you to start it in Neutral. I have one of these in my barn, still running. These were known for their power back in their prime days. Bob in VT

Make sure when u start the engine the gear shift is in the start position

Hey that M-F 65 is in great shape as far as the sheet metal & looks like most of everything is there ! I did notice the screen for the oil bath air cleaner on top was missing . I love this style Massey-Ferguson & M-F's period , I have a 1959 M-F 50 with a Z134 Continental 4 cylinder gasoline engine & the body is identical to the 65 only with less features . & it was the 1st tractor I bought used little over 25 years ago , & I still use her year round ! But not as much since I bought my new M-F 1526 in 2018 with a diesel & fel ,4X4. But the M-F 50 will not get parked ,She is very reliable & will always be a working tractor. Thanks for the video.

Thanks, Venice. It is in really good shape and I love driving it. The biggest problem is a pretty excessive fuel leak. Hoping to replace all the fuel lines and components this winter.

New subscriber. I'm like you. I'm buying a (63)MF65 off of my father in law.

[@MrJustinWheeler]

That’s awesome man! It’s been a great addition to my property. I hope yours runs good too.

[@countryboyscooter3402]

@@MrJustinWheeler it needs service, and a few odds and ends but it runs great!

Have you ever heard such a sweet sounding motor?! #mf65 #perkins #diesel

Love the way these old diesels sound

That’s a very nice MF65. Multipower and Power steering are not so common options and make it extra special. The fact you know her history is a bonus too - write it all down while the information is available. Thanks for sharing the video.

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Thanks, Matt. I didn’t realize the multipower and power steering combo wasn’t that common. Good to know!

[@martymartin2894]

What is multi power thanks.

[@philipstubbs2432]

Great video 👍 I've got one as well

[@MrJustinWheeler]

I love this tractor! I hope yours is treating you well!

[@philipstubbs2432]

@@MrJustinWheeler they are fantastic old girls Justin 👍 I've done the complete oils replacement including the power steering! Replaced all grease nipples and am slowly repainting it so it has another 50 years of life ! I drop engine oil yearly and replace filter's so she runs happily 😊

S stands for start position

Damnit that beard is looking sexy. Nice tractor too.

Wow

Hope you're a female

[@michaellynskey7124]

The S is for start you didn’t say whether it was fitted with multi power which some of the MF 65 were.🇬🇧🇮🇪.

Don't use the multi power when working it. Good tractor

[@alanpinnt]

Did you ever clean this up? Paint it at all?

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Hey Alan! Got it running good and working it hard. I haven’t painted it yet bc I have a pretty bad fuel leak that I want to fix before I paint it. But I’ve been putting off the repair bc of other projects. It will happen one of these days though.
