Working in and around the farm shop in Missouri. USA
April 27, 2012
Well I got the MF 65 diesel tractor put back together and it is running. Complete rebuild, even turned the crank. New clutch, pressure plate redone and throw out bearing. I have run it about 8 hours and it is good so far. I am doing to start on the power steering by rebuilding it. But, first I am going to put the front end back on the MF 65 GAS tractor. It is still in the shop. I traded front ends from the gas to the diesel since the gas one is in better shape. I will then probably pull the head off the gas tractor to put rings in it. It still smokes after setting for over 13 years and I have given up on unsticking the rings. Won't be long till time to cut grass hay. Since we had such a warm early spring....(it started early March). I hope you enjoy the show I put on and the music that is playing in the shop most of the time I am working.
I am located in SW Missouri USA on a 400 acre beef cattle farm.
Greetings from Missouri to you!
GOD IS GREAT!

January 15, 2012 at 18:37 pmGreat Tractor and nice work. I had a Ford 9 N that I restored and used for many years. The "VIN" number on the axle said it was made in November of 1941 if I remember correctly. For getting grease off an engine you may not have heard of this tric, but Carb Cleaner usually works as well as oven cleaner and doesn't leave a residue, (I think better than oven cleaner on hydorcarbon grease and doesn't attack the paint.) Good luck, scratch the dogs for me. Bill Sawyer, West Chester, PA (www.estatewagons.com)
