You could also take the decals off and if you are really ambitious, repaint it the White colors or for that matter, AC colors.  Your machine, your choice.
I'm thinking of repainting my Hesston 4600 baler PO 1, just for the heck of it.

I wouldnt be on here if this were a Duetz- Allis site or AGCO site. Masseys are mostly crap. Not all. AGCO is ALL crap.
sometimes I walk out to my shop and look around and think "Who's the idiot that owns this place?"

I agree that it's management issues, that they lied when they said they would support it and then didn't, and I don't think they'll change.

Having said that the other day I was thinking about all the little tractor dealers.  There was JD, MF, AC all within a stones throw of my grandpas.  When we were in high school we used to drive around the country and just stop at every dealer we saw and try to by a toy.  Now dealers are mostly big and many have multiple stores.  I still would rather deal with the family owned store.

When it was Allis Chalmers we did some warrenty work but after it was AGCO we did alot of warrenty work.
 I never liked working on Deutz but when you sold one you could forget where they went because they would not be back for repair but after MF got in the picture you knew they would be back for repair. We had two that AGCO spent more in warrenty than they cost.
 I'm sure the guy ment MF stood for (Miss Fit) lol    MACK

Some of the newer small compacts are very inexpensive and cheap and break easy and often.


That's not true at all.  I have a MF1643.  Its manufactured by Iseki in Japan.  The build quality is incredible.  MF compact utility tractors are some of the best built and most reliable tractors in the industry.
