Massey Ferguson 150 as written on it...

Are you sure? Perkins diesel, but the 150 had a smaller 3-cylinder engine with the oil filter on the right-hand side (the rear mounted filter is the fuel filter). They also had a larger panel behind the radiator (in front of the generator)

I think this is rather a 165.

I think your '5' is rather a '6' and your '0', it doesn't look like it has even sides. Pixelated, but even so. From a distance, the '150' has a more symmetrical look, while '165' looks like this one. The 'Massey Ferguson' text also differs from what seems to be the 150 type, while matching the 165.

The main reason for not being a 150, well it is not the 150 engine, but the larger one from 165/185. Please check again. And the vertical panel beneath your unreadable badge is also different. Similar wheelbases, also several choices of wheels, so that is not important.

Exhaust on the right side supports 165 over 150.

Regarding your exhaust comment:
The Perkins diesel 150(not the best view, but you can see the oil filter) and 165 had exhaust on the right-hand side. There was also a diesel 165 with exhaust on the left.

But if you look beyond the exhaust pipe you will find the diesel 150 differs a lot from the diesel 165 with its larger engine. Especially the sump area, the oil filter and, the exhaust pipe position. I still believe the main picture fits a 165 with Perkins diesel engine, but please do not judge only by the exhaust position alone.

Edit: To 'clearify', the petrol 150 and 165 had the exhaust on the left-hand side.

I remember seeing this tractor for a brief moment when the episode was brand new. It had me all excited. Hammond was testing a Porsche in the segment, wasn't he? I haven't seen that episode since then.
