I've got a chance to get a Massey Model 30B with loader at an upcoming auction. It doesn't run, and needs a motor rebuild. What would be a good price to pay for it. How much would a rebuild cost? Does anyone have a good motor for it? It currently has a 3 cylinder in it, though I think they also came with 4 cylinder gas motors. No PTO, though, was that common for industrial tractors?Thanks.Paul

A local has been trying to sell his 30B industrial with no luck. It has a Perkins (I think) 4 cylinder diesel, hydro tranny, power steering, ROPS, Massey's rugged industrial loader, plus a six foot Gannon box blade and ripper with hydraulic tilt and level. It looks rough, everything is loose.... but it runs and works nicely. Everyone in town has used and abused it for years and it still gets right along. In high range it has a higher road gear than most Ag tractors. He has had to rebuild the motor several times because people using it for mowing have clogged the radiator and overheated it. Typical rebuilds run into the several thousands of dollars - and can go double that. The "20" was available in gasoline, don't know about the 30. Yes, this one has a 3pt and independent PTO. Not all did. I've shown it to a lot of guys who were tractor hunting because I like it....it is very low to the ground and heavily built. But most think it is ugly. I think it is beautiful. To each his own. It is much more suited for excavation than mowing a yard....Last Summer he was asking $6500. ....
