Well,,,Chask,,,again you came thru,,,!!  According to the literature, it is a 1970 Massey Ferguson 135 and I appreciate your efforts,,,,  BUT,,, The "deal" fell plumb thru the floor yesterday,,Ya see,,I had put an ad in our Electric COOP monthly for ,,"Wanted To Buy" a Massey Ferguson TO20 "For Parts",,,well,,I got several calls soon as the monthly came out and all of them folks wanting to sell me their "Vintage, Family Favorite Completely Restored" ,,,tractor. I gently told em all the ad was for a " Parts Only tractor for the intake manifold,,,, Al the other calls I have got were all the same thing,,,,BUT,,,No parts tractors or manifolds,,,Chit, Chit,,,,Don't people know how to read any more,,?? Then this guy from northern NM calls and says he gots what I'm lookin for, says he traded for it 2 years ago and has never used it, but engine runs good and wants to trade for a 4 wheeler for his grandson,,,,,,,,So, I mention I gots four (4) 4 wheelers and he is very interested in one of the Polaris Trail Boss 250's and,,,"Will you trade for my tractor?" He does not know nuttin bout the tractor,,except it is a Massey Ferguson with a factory loader and engine runs good. I start smellin a rat when he says engine runs good but ha ain't started it in over two years,,,,?????? He wants pics of the 4 wheeler so I shine it up and send him the pics and he texts back,," I'll trade you straight across". I figure if his engine is complete and "runnin" I may chit can this tractor and go with the one with a loader,,,,then the Rat surfaces and he calls and says he changed his mind and just wants to sell me his tractor for $1400 and no trade,,,,,,,I tell him I'll give him $50 for the intake manifold and he can keep his tractor back behind the barn,,,,Sorry AH,,,,!!!!! Why people gotta be like that,,,????

No problem here Joe. Sorry your deal went south. Dealing with a beautiful young lass would surely of had a better outcome. Took me a while to find that confounded beeping all night though. I have faith you'll find your quarry. Hang in there.

Naw,,John,,,,if it hada been ole Michael,,,he'd a already made sure I had that manifold here and bolted up. The other dude was from outside Tucumcari which is some close to ole Michael tho,,,,  Turns out the engine in HIS tractor is a 3 Cylinder Perkins anyways,,,,,Can't imaging a fellar not knowin the difference between a 3 cylinder and a 4 cylinder engine ,,,CHIT,,,even I don't need both hands to get to ,,,,four,,,,
