Well, me and my grandpa has been thinkin bout buying a restoring a classic MF, something people wouldnt think bout restoring or something that really has never been restored. I want a MF with some beef and power... any suggestings guys?? Would love a 1150 w. the big ol' Perkins V8!!! A local farmer that works with my grandpa and we know pretty well has a old 1100 that would be a great restoration project......I think hes thinkin bout gettin rid of it, its been sitting in the back of his sed alot, but it runs good though... even though grandpa seems a bit iffy with the 1100 because he said its hard to get parts for the Perkins straight 6  Sean |

An 1100 MF would be a neat project to undertake, other MF models that would make for a good restoration, I think would be a MF 65, MF 165, MF 250 etc. Also if you want to go back further, a Massey Harris Pony, Massey Harris 44 would be neat as well.
Of course you could restore an 1155 MF as well.

Well the Super 90 doesnt seem to be too popular to find in the 1st place to get a parts tractor for it.....
