For what you want to do you might as well buy a backhoe for the new Kubota or the old zetor without a cab for easy access if you are looking at old junk like that Massey. My buddy got a lot newer MF 50 type than that. He paid $3500 for it, by the time he replaced hoses, a couple of rams were bad inside he had to have new rams made for and some seals. He's got over $7500 in it, It leaks oil from the drive line and still don't charge right, but he's using it. He figured he was going to be in it at less than 5000 to dig his basement and do his work on his acerage, and dig some holes where he works on a farm for extra money.
My JCB cost me $5500 from an auction, I've got $7000 + in that knowing it needed some spending but still have a good strong machine. I have replaced hoses some seal kits and A lot of hyd oil and stuff. Both these machines are diesel so they are pretty economical to run as well compared to a gas.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
