Bought the Massy Ferguson 50 and got it home last night. It is rough no doubt, fenders are trashed, dents in the hood, and lots of just crappy farmer fixes. LOTS....
Tried starting it, someone had messed with the Distributor and it was all kinds of screwed up, so we fixed that, and put a new carb on it (came with a brand new carb in a bag??). Thing fires right up and runs great! No signs of lack of compression? All cylinders sound even, and it cranks good. No burning oil, any of that. Runs GREAT!

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
