Back in early January, I bought a 1971 Massey Ferguson 150. It was in decent condition, but like so many other 35 year old tractors, it had a few problems. 1st, the 3 point hitch would barely lift itself, muchless anything heavy. 2nd, the throttle would drift down to almost idle from full throttle in a few minutes of use. I had to keep one hand on the throttle lever while working it. 3rd, it had the standard MF "oil dripping from the weep hole" problem. (rear oil pan gasket leaking) If I would have sent it to the friendly neighborhood Massey dealer for repair, my wallet would be a might bit thinner, as well as my wife would have had a fit. Enter Big Dean Austin. He walked me through the repairs. He did so in laymans terms. I'm no mechanic, but now I have the satisfaction of knowing I fixed it myself. A couple hours ago, I finished bolting the oil pan back in place. Not the first sign of a leak! Throttle is fixed without buying the first part. 3 point hitch will now lift anything I hook it to. One more fine Massey lives to plow another field! Big Dean, YOU DA MAN! I sure hope you feel as good about helping people as we do getting the help. Thanks again.
