Hi, this is the arrival of my Massey Ferguson 1200. It's a 1975 tractor, plan is to restore back to its former glory. Bought blind over the internet so not sure what's what yet. Drives ok, PTO, Multipower, brakes gearbox ok. No electrics working! Still not too bad for 39 year old tractor. More posts as restoration continues. via YouTube Capture

Hi Russell.. Just wondering would ya know were I could find parts for a MF 1250 or 1200

Hi Mark, how are you getting on with your rebuild?
Started playing with my 1200 today, discovered she's not original.
Engine has been replaced with one with a compressor fitted, its an A6.3544 made in 1982. Have a look at my Facebook page Massey Ferguson 1200 Restoration. What do you think about how to improve starting?
Cheers for now Russell. -
Thanks Mike for the good luck, unfortunately I discovered today that she has had an engine change and this is not original.
The current engine fitted has a compressor installed beside the injector pump. Serial number TW50083U668057J , this is an A6.3544 made in 1982. Tractor 1975.
I have a Facebook page for this tractor if interested called Massey Ferguson 1200 Restoration.
Engine has been difficult to start, have checked thermostart today and is working. She still needs two attempts to fire up. What next?
Injectors? Valves?
Any advice would be welcome. Cheers Russell.

Good luck with it. I have 2 which I am trying to restore and also a 1135, but I'm working away from home to much to get anything done.
That looks like a fairly complete example, good tinwork etc, she'll look well when she's done. -
She looks well, you've got all the essentials there for a straightforward rebuild. How many hours is she showing ?
I have a nice origional 1250 and also one a bit rougher but still nice - of farm condition.
I took one to a tractor run on Saturday here in Northern Ireland and she's going real sweet.... a real pleasure to drive and has a lovely note when on she takes the strain on a hill......do your heart good!!
