Great pics. My wife's sister still has her deceased husband's old 65. It looks kind of rough, but I use it to bush hog and such for her. I tell her it is the best starting and running diesel in the county. Hot, cold, rain or sleet, it never fails to start easily and do a great job. Brakes are not real sporty though.
Fascinating stuff, thanks for posting. Back in the early 80's we knew a couple of people who had 65's which looked a bit aged, but they swore by them, said they were much better than the newer 135 and 165, etc which were more common in the area. Bet it had better brakes anyway; all the big brothers of the 135 had drum brakes which were useless. Had many heartstopping experiences of throwing all my weight onto the pedal, and levering myself down with the steering wheel trying to get it stopped!
Thanks for shared this precious documents to everyone who want to see.
I already collected over 300 pictures for make myself a 3D creation of my grand-father's MF65, but this video is the best document so far! I can see more much details and understand more much about available functions as track setting.
I love the shot of the black oxfords and wool dress pants with cuffs. Perfect plowing attire! Great old pics. Thanks for sharing.
