Have it on the farm for light duty, spraying, blading. Have 2 other 350's too picked up over the years. Handy tractor with the hydraulics. You had a great story...I know the feeling of all the things we have done with these great tractors !! MJD

Farmall is my favorite tractor and i hope someday case will recontinue production.

I have a picture of me and my sister (18 yrs older than me) on the tractor. I wish I still had the little toy Model A that came with it. It had real rubber tires and was a real sweetheart. I'm gonna be great gramma soon and I'm hoping for a little farmer, so if anybody knows of one that can be had for less than an arm and a leg give me an e-mail. The tractor was still being used into the '80's when a fire burned down the garage where it was parked. My sister felt so bad, she hunted down another one and replaced it. The original one did a lot of work in it's day. My dad made a snow plow for it, so it didn't even get to rest in the winter time.

mr.bob wrote on Thursday, March 15, 2007 (PDT):You lucked out. I had to stand and watch my dad s Massey Ferguson 65 sell at his farm liquidation sale for a trifling 1700.00. A neighbor practically begged my dad to let him bid it in and keep it, but my dad s healty and thinking were a bit faulty at the time and he insisted Everything must go regardless. At the time, I had a low paying job and a first wife that kept me broke, so I just had to stand helplessly by and watch my favorite tractor of all be stolen for that ridiculous sum. Today I have an upgraded 2N Ford that serves me well, but it ll never begin to be what the Massey was. It still makes me sick when I think about it.
