RIGHT.......THAT'S IT.....................NOW I'M REALLY JEALOUS.  >:( I WANNA TRACTOR TOO  :(

    I'm not a great fan of Massey tractors, but that looks like a goodun to me. Well looked after, all there and very straight for its age. (Got a real soft spot for 165's) Looks like it wont take a lot of money to get it looking smart. Have you got the Diana's for it. (Doors  ;D )

    What's the difference between a 165 and a 168 if you'll pardon my ignorance.

    Nice looking tractor,and they always look better on the bigger rear tyres. I wont ask you how much you paid for it because I expect you got it sickeningly cheap.  >:(. Perhaps you could tell us more about its history and the hours etc. Cheers ol' kiddy.  ;):)

all good mate , no rust holes , surface rust obviously, & a small dink on the top of the bonnet that can be pushed back right as it's not a crease & O/S rear wing is pulled down a bit , other than that it's all straigt , a few pannels missing  but nothing that can't be found on my travels  ;)

didn't get a top link, or the hook for the PUH , but as said , they can be found easily enough

great  !!  volounteers !!  looking at the 2nd-3rd feb  :D :D :D

Nice buy Marcus - next door neighbour has one with a Duncan cab but no MP - hope that PAS is working okay as it can be expensive to fix :(

the MP is fine on it nash & the steering linkage , is good & responsive

Yes a very nice straight orignal machine! what is the braket on the front for? is it to do with a loader?? are you going to give her new shoes?? hope ya get on well with it! ;)

thanks db1410 the bracket is for an MF 80 loader, new shoes , will have to save for 'em but they'll do for now , running at about 30%

oh yeah , chaps getting a new clutch before i pick it up , as i was a bit dubious haveing seen the brackets & was near the top of it's travel

If it's only got 1400 hrs that's a real find....last you forever.  :D

knowing my luck it was 14000 & the clock stopped working in 1978 :D :D :D :D :D :D :-\ :( :'(
