You cant go wrong with a massey. Shame browns in chesham can no longer supply spares
I have a relative on a farm in essex who has three massey tractors. one "n" reg, one "04" reg and a 1990 390T. He is thinking of trading the 390 in for a new one, and i have to say, it looks brand new! it has to be the cleanest, well looked after tractor i have ever seen of its age.
Would be a good buy for someone. tempting if i had the readies to hand

we had the fitter out on friday new lift pump and battery on our deere the cold weather found it out, i wondered why it didn't like lugging 12 tons of sand up hill, it wasn't getting any fuel. and a new 140 amp truck battery for starting in the cold weather. all running nice again.

Aslong as you run your tractor on white diesel, appropriate commercial tax and have an o licence you can use it for hire or reward. Suggers : watch out for oil coming from the breather pipe on the 362, i know it can be a problem with the 362 12/12 4wd.

Seems to be connected with the tractors running with a fuel pump thats been opened up slightly, either by wear or someone trying to increase power. Unfortunatly the pumps on those perkins engines cant be shut down, so im told by local massey garage. Half a fairy bottle and give it a wee wire handle then hang it just under the breather should catch any stray drips.
