Have had two 65 gassers and a 3165 (industrial version) gasser. All good tractors with lots of power and good brakes compared to most of their contemporaries. They have internal disc brakes plantary final drives at the ends of the axles. The gas versions are very good starters in cold, too. The power steering is good if it's been refurbished and set up correctly. They're tricky to get adjusted properly, though, often giving you power one way and not the other. Not the best power steering design I've ever seen. Although overseas versions may have been built in England, US tractors were built in Racine, WI or Detroit, I believe. The 65 lived on for many, many years (as different models) with minor revisions. If I'm not mistaken, MF still makes a tractor today based largely on it. Or at least they did not long ago. Must not be too bad of a design. I think they were popular in the South and, of course, overseas. Don't see nearly so many in the Midwest as most farms had larger tractors than that and, at least in my experience, MF was not a popular brand there.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
