The first Massey Ferguson 65 available was the MK1 fitted with the Perkins A4-192. The chances are it will be black as it doesn’t take long for it turn that colour, but if it’s thick and gloopy it means oil changes have been few and far between. Unfortunately, not all MF 65s have been so well looked after, so if you’re looking to buy one, pull the dipstick out and look at the oil. The secret to the engine’s longevity was regular oil changes and being just generally looked after. It had done many jobs from haymaking to loader work. The tractor had obviously seen a lot of work in its life as, along with his 35x, it was the main tractor on the farm.
He had bought it when it was nearly new and told me it had done well over 20,000 hours with no engine overhauls. Our neighbour, the late Ken Briggs, had a Massey Ferguson 65 MK1 and used it for most of his farming life. I would say parts for the A4-203 are more commonly available than the A4-192, but for both, you won’t be short on what’s needed to maintain these engines. Having had experiences of both, I think they are generally good engines. It’s hard to say which was the better engine as I’ve heard good and bad reports on both. The 65 also was fitted with a Perkins engine, the first one being the A4-192, followed by the A4-203 in the 65 MK2. Launched in 1958, the Massey Ferguson 65 rather fell into the background as the 35 gained popularity when it had the Perkins engine fitted.
