I would like to hear from people with experience whether the MF130, circa 1972 was or is still considered a reliable tractor. I don't see too many out there. Have been told by a dealer to stay away from it due to parts shortage and the fact it was made in France. Would it have the Perkins 4 cyl? Open to any comments.

Ted,
By coincidence I just got a new book on Massey tractors today and it says that the 130 was built in France. It was powered by the Perkins 4-107 diesel producing 30hp.
I remember that even during the 1970's over here (i.e.in England)I heard parts were an absolute bugger to obtain!
Oh, and the book? "A Worldwide Guide to Massey Ferguson 100 and 1000 Tractors 1964-1988" by John Farnworth. ( Japonica Press ) I have just started reading it and very good it is too.

Restored a 130 in 2002, parts were difficultto obtain. Have set up parts business supplying parts for this and many other tractors in UK.

I"m just about to embark on restorring 2 more 130"s, gues I"ll hve to make many of the parts, although i"ve just supplied some to a local man who restored his in about 3 months
