Massey Ferguson 101-JR Tractor Parts

101 JR. parts and accessories

The Massey Ferguson 101 JR. tractors were a popular choice for farmers in the 1950s, known for their reliability and versatility in various agricultural applications. Powered by a Continental gasoline engine producing around 32 horsepower, the 101 JR. offered sufficient power for many small to medium-sized farming tasks. Its estimated PTO horsepower of around 28 HP made it well-suited for operating implements like mowers and light tillage equipment.

The Massey Ferguson 101 JR. was produced from 1953 to 1955, building upon the legacy of earlier Ferguson tractors after the merger with Massey-Harris. This model featured a Continental F140 gasoline engine, delivering approximately 32 engine horsepower with a displacement of 140 cubic inches. The tractor was equipped with a four-speed manual transmission, providing a range of speeds suitable for different field operations. The 101 JR. boasted a PTO horsepower of around 28 HP, operating at 540 RPM, enabling it to efficiently power implements like rotary cutters and balers. Its hydraulic system provided a flow rate of around 4 GPM, supporting the operation of rear-mounted implements. While technically a Ferguson built after the merger, it retains many of the features of prior Ferguson tractors. The 3-point hitch was a Category I, providing compatibility with a wide array of implements, featuring a lift capacity of approximately 1,500 lbs. Common applications included row crop cultivation, hay production, and general farm maintenance. The 101 JR. distinguished itself from other models in the lineup through its compact size, ease of operation, and fuel efficiency, making it a practical choice for smaller farms and supplemental tasks on larger operations.

Maintenance Tips

Change the engine oil and filter every 100-150 hours of operation. Use a high-quality oil specified for gasoline engines of this era.
Inspect and maintain the hydraulic system regularly. Check for leaks, ensure proper fluid levels, and replace the hydraulic filter as recommended in the operator's manual.
Keep the fuel system clean and free of contaminants. Use fresh fuel, inspect the fuel filter regularly, and consider using a fuel stabilizer, especially during seasonal storage.
Before storing the tractor for an extended period, drain the fuel tank, add fuel stabilizer, and lubricate all grease fittings. Store the tractor in a dry location to prevent rust and corrosion.
