Massey Ferguson 1500 Tractor Parts

The Massey Ferguson 1500 was introduced in 1975 as part of the 1000 series, designed to offer a range of power options for small to medium-sized farming operations. Production continued until 1979. This model featured a Perkins AD3.152 naturally aspirated 3-cylinder diesel engine, delivering around 38 horsepower with a displacement of 152.7 cubic inches (2.5 liters). The transmission was typically a 6-speed gear transmission, providing a suitable range of speeds for field work and transportation. PTO horsepower was rated at approximately 32 HP, with a standard 540 RPM PTO. The hydraulic system offered a flow rate of around 6.7 gallons per minute (GPM), typically with one or two remote valves. It featured a Category I 3-point hitch, capable of lifting approximately 2,000 pounds. The MF 1500 was commonly used for tasks such as mowing, light tillage, hay baling, and general farm work. Its compact size and maneuverability made it ideal for row crop applications and livestock operations. Compared to larger models in the MF lineup, the 1500 offered a more economical and manageable option for smaller farms while providing adequate power for everyday tasks. The emphasis on simplicity and reliability helped make it a favorite among farmers.
