The year of your Massey Ferguson tractor can be determined by the serial number. The serial number is typically located on the right side of the tractor frame close to the seat. To properly determine the year of your tractor, you will need to decode the serial number.
The typical Massey Ferguson serial number is a six-digit or seven-digit sequence. The first three numbers will tell you the model year, while the remaining numbers tell you the sequence in which the tractor was manufactured.
To decode the year, here are some guidelines.
• Pre-1970 models, the first two digits will be letters designating the model followed by two digits that determine the year.
• 1970 to 1984:
the first three digits will be a single letter which designates the model followed by two digits that determine the year.
• 1985 to 2008:
the first three digits will designate the year followed by three digits to designate the model.
• 2009 and newer:
the first two digits designate the year followed by four digits to designate the model.
We suggest that you refer to your Massey Ferguson operator’s manual for specific serial number information on your model tractor.
If you have any questions about determining the year of your Massey Ferguson tractor, your local dealer is an excellent source for information and assistance.
