Massey Ferguson 164V Tractor Parts
164v parts and accessories
The Massey Ferguson 164v, produced from approximately 1987-1993, was a popular choice for vineyard and orchard applications. Powered by a robust diesel engine in the 50-60 horsepower range and delivering around 50 PTO horsepower, the 164v offered the reliable performance Massey Ferguson is known for. Its compact size and maneuverability made it a favorite amongst farmers needing a capable tractor in tight spaces.
The Massey Ferguson 164v emerged in the late 1980s as a specialized version of the MF 100 series tractor, catering to the unique demands of vineyard and orchard work. Production ran approximately from 1987-1993. Under the hood, it typically featured a Perkins 3.152 diesel engine producing around 54 horsepower, with a displacement of 152 cubic inches. The transmission was a mechanical gear type, offering multiple forward and reverse speeds for precise control. Power take-off (PTO) horsepower was around 50 hp at 540 RPM, providing ample power for implements like rotary cutters and sprayers. The hydraulic system delivered approximately 8 GPM, sufficient for operating remote hydraulics and the 3-point hitch. The 3-point hitch was typically a Category I, allowing for the use of a variety of implements. Common applications included spraying, mowing between rows, light tillage, and general utility work in vineyards, orchards, and smaller farms. The 164v distinguishes itself with its narrow profile and lower overall height designed to easily navigate between rows, setting it apart from standard utility tractors.

Maintenance Tips
- Engine Oil and Filter: Change the engine oil and filter every 250 hours of operation. Use a high-quality diesel engine oil with the appropriate viscosity grade.
- Hydraulic System Maintenance: Check hydraulic fluid levels regularly and replace the hydraulic filter every 500 hours. Use only recommended hydraulic fluid to prevent damage to seals and components.
- Fuel System Care: Use clean, high-quality diesel fuel. Replace the fuel filter every 250 hours to prevent fuel system clogs and ensure optimal engine performance.
- Seasonal Storage: Before storing the tractor for extended periods, drain the fuel tank, add a fuel stabilizer, and disconnect the battery. This will help prevent fuel degradation and battery drain during storage.
