I was looking to upgrade from my 8N, looked at a few fords (3000-3600) and found this 245 diesel. I don't know anything about Massey's and there is not much info around here on the 245. Is there anything in particular to look for or stay away from? This tractor seems comparable to the ones I was looking at, are they any good?
I did get to start it and it started fine and quick. No strange noises or smoke and oil pressure was good too. I did notice a slight fuel leak at the injector pump, hard to tell but maybe a fuel line leaking at the copper washer/gasket? The shift pattern was too worn to read on the knob but it almost looks like its a 3spd or 3x2. I did not see another lever on the dash so I assume its not multi-power?
