Massey Ferguson 14

[Machineguy 877]

My MF 14 project. My friends uncle bought this new and did several modifications to the hydraulics and added front and rear lifts. Sadly the thing was beaten badly and left outside 20 years. I finally got him to sell it to me after 6 years of pleading. It’s total frame up with a 25hp Kawasaki transplant ready to go in it. I want something a little smaller than my 9020 Powermax that has great PTO power.

Always loved the look of those MF . I just sold mine ( MF12 variable speed )  but I’ll be watching your build  .

 

How about some pics of that Power Max ? For some odd reason I like the orange ones too  ! Must of been all the big orange tractors we sold at the family’s dealership .

This is the tractor that reignited my childhood fascination with small tractors. Here’s a couple of pics of the 9020 dressed out for snow duty. That was about 7 months to that point. I’ve made a lot of improvements since and I’ll get up a good pic of it with the deck on it later. 

 

P.S, the hood was in tough shape so after watching Street Outlaws one night a friend  and I started talking about our old cars and I said I could take him on my Yardbird. The name has stuck on the 9020. So one weekend along with some paint and a couple cans of something else I added a whimsical paint scheme to the rough hood. I like it and it’s gonna stay unless I find a good straight hood!

I couldn’t find the correct snowblower with a 10 hour drive so I made brackets to fit that one. We only had one small wet 3” snowfall this past winter and that was March. Even at low throttle it tossed it well

Looks very nice  . Have @Vinylguy make you up some whimsical Yardbird graphics  . Yours are nice but he can make some really cool stuff. Here’s my 520 that we came up with some custom graphics to make it look like a 1075 Wheel-a-Matic.

Yeah, I hand stencil painted mine and it’s a bit sloppy. I use this thing a lot. I put high lift Dixie Chopper blades on it after I had to drill them! Added some extra baffling for chute velocity and as the guy on Forged In Fire says, It will cut

 

Stripes good for 40 years old

I don’t have many current pics. Here’s another one though. It needs paint and body work but it’s a fun car. I bought it when I was 19 and it’s originally a 3 on the column 2 barrel 327 car. I’ve had lots of fun with it not to mention broken rears, motors and etc. it’s currently a mildly hot 355 on pump gas 4 speed with a cruising 3:42 ring gear. I’ve still got the Original 327 and some go fast goodies including some high winding 1/8 mile busting 5:38 gears in another center chunk if I wanna get crazy! lol

Here’s a couple pics of the 9020 from this evening. I had cleaned it up earlier in the week before I take it down to the in laws this weekend. Gotta look good on the road! Lol

One day I’m gonna get some wheels for the 15.5 wide rear tires it originally had. Mine were rusted out badly from years of sodium chloride. My father in-law’s best friend bought this new in 1981 and my father in-law bought it from him in 1990 and parked it at the end of 1998 for a 7 foot finishing mower behind his bigger tractor. I met my wife in 1999 and never saw it move until I brought it home in October of 2016. It sat under a lean-to on an old tractor shed he was gonna tear down and said it had to go. Begged him for moths to sell it to me and he wouldn’t. One day out of the blue he called me and said you can come get it on one condition that you fix it and use it.
