For Sale; feeder house for MF 760 -https://www.ebay.com/itm/284946302580
This combine was sitting around for several years when I decided to sell the engine and part out the rest of the machine. Although these old Massey's are huge in size they are outdated and worth very little to a farmer only bringing a few hundred dollars on auction.
A considerable number of specialty and industrial machines use them including power generators and at least one old locomotive (British).
Perkins is of English design and origin. I have found them to be very durable and will last a very long time with some basic maintenance. A considerable amount of power in a small package! The one draw-back are the fuel filters, a 2 piece design and as I recall only genuine filters seem to seal up the best.
Sorry about the wind noise! It took a few days to clean the engine and compartment and when I recorded the video the wind blew.
