Default My kind of Massey

Cats out of the bag.
Slightly modified Massey Ferguson tractor at Clarendon truck show.
Could this be something Ford is hiding from us.......

I think the starter motor probably has more mumbo. I have driven a stock te20 as well as a standard vanguard which has a derivative of the same motor and power house wouldnt be the word i would use to describe the horsepower

My neighbour still drives his to town down the hwy every now and again on b-double free Sunday. It would be a suicide mission on mine without brakes. I drive it like a boat. Running a 302 I reckon I would just plough the paddocks with the tyres.

I reckon you would spend a lot of time looking at the sky as the front wheels lift off.

I remember back in the 70’s, Massey Ferguson actually built a V8 powered diesel tractor!
Would have been an open tractor and would have been amazing sitting on that at 2000 rpm pulling a plough!

At 2am in the middle of winter (Lake Grace WA) I can assure you amazing is not the word I would choose to describe the experience

Yeah I was thinking of the 1155 actually with the 8.9 litre Perkins!
1150 might have been an earlier model!
