This is probably a long shot, but does anyone know of a site similar to this one that deals with massey ferguson industrial tractors.

Good question Gene.
We have a Massey 135 diesel that needs some work, so hopefully somebody knows of something.

Yesterday's Tractors dot com has forums for most brands of tractors and a separate forum for crawlers, loaders and etc. This is my only suggestion where you could look.

I didn't really want to admit it, but I have a perkins powered MF 135. It was purchased new by my grandparents. Runs and works well, could use a grill and muffler.

The 3 point hitch stopped working, going to start with a hydraulic filter change. Also have a factory loader and valve which I have removed along with some MF implements. It's in a shed and I start it a few times a year.

I know that Yesterdays tractor form and the Ferguson form aren't always up to snuff I have a Ferguson TO30 I with the service door in the hood so it is a pre 35 build and pre x build of 55-57 era and even with the serial # you should get some info well I get told industrial only came out when Massey acquired the manufacturing rights but this tractor is yellow and not a speck of grey even the Ferguson emblem on the front and both side emblems are yellow inset with matching yellow paint I know in those days Ferguson used several color combinations with grey,green, gold or red on them I just want to paint it original industrial yellow again s/n says it is a 1955 so it was built before the Massey take over and this time frame the Ferguson tractors were getting away from the straight gun boat grey that was common for so many years So have I got an odd ball I don't know but at this point I am not touching the original paint job that is for sure.Digitup.

Yea, those other forums don't even come close to this one. Years back there was Big Deans website, a retired MF industrial mechanic, but he has passed and the site is now gone. I have 3 MF industrials, all bought new between 1974 & 1977, hard to kill em if you maintain them, same as anything else.

YT is probably the most well-known tractor board and there are a number of knowledgable folks on there. I do like their blogs on 8N repair and restoration. However I find navigation of the discussion forums on that site to be frustrating so I don't use it as much as I used to.

There are a number of other sites that have brand-specific forums that you could give a shot. One of which is mytractorforum.com . I am not recommending it but they seem to have an active board with a lot of categories for brands including MF. If you go to that site make sure you go in the "Big Boys" forum as that is where full-size tractors are discussed. SSBtractor.com also has a MF discussion forum, but has the same frustrating navigation as the YT site.
