What is a Massey Ferguson International?

[Trent M]

I spotted on craigslist a "5 hp Massey Ferguson International" for sale. Anyone know what that is? Any pics? I tried to Google it, but there are many hits with Massey Ferguson and International, as you might expect. I emailed him asking for clarification and he said, "Yes, its a 5 hp Massey Ferguson International."

Sounds like a figment of someones' imagination.

Maybe they mean it's "well traveled"

Trent:

Get him to send you a pic of the decals...

5 hp Massey ??? Yard tractor maybe... but I was under the impression that the smallest Massey made was in the 10 hp range.... be interesting to see pics..

Massey did make a 7 hp tractor, in the 70's. Tecumseh engine. Ed

I sent an email asking for clarification/pictures and he replied:

yes it is a 5hp Massey ferguson International it did run but it quit and i took the engine off and was going to fix it but now need moneyi will sell it for $50 or trade if you want to look at it email me back

I don't think he's the kinda guy who can/will email pics. I was just thinking there might be a steal hidden in that ad somewhere. I don't guess I need it, whatever it is.

Brian- We're posting at the same time! I'm not interested enough to drive over to look at it.

If your within looking distance I would take a look for sure you never know what it might be??
There are still some out there who have no clue as to what they have to sell. It could turn out to be a great find.

Maybe it is a Massey Ferg. but the specfic model is "international."
