Massey Ferguson 174 Tractor Parts

174 parts and accessories

The Massey Ferguson 174, manufactured from 1975 to 1983, was a popular utility tractor known for its reliability and versatility. Powered by a Perkins 4.236 diesel engine producing around 60 horsepower, it delivered ample power for various farm tasks. With a PTO horsepower rating of approximately 53 HP, the MF 174 provided the muscle farmers needed for implements like mowers, balers, and rotary cutters.

The Massey Ferguson 174 was introduced in the mid-1970s as part of the 100 series, a lineup renowned for its dependability and ease of use. It filled a crucial niche in the utility tractor market. The heart of the MF 174 is the Perkins AD4.236 four-cylinder diesel engine, which generates approximately 60 engine horsepower with a displacement of 236 cubic inches. This tractor features a gear-type transmission with either 8 forward and 2 reverse speeds or 12 forward and 4 reverse speeds. The independent PTO delivers around 53 horsepower at 540 RPM, powering a wide range of implements. Its hydraulic system provides a flow rate of approximately 8.5 GPM, supporting implement operation and loader work. The three-point hitch is a Category I/II, offering a lift capacity of around 3,000 lbs, suitable for various implements. The MF 174 found applications in row crop cultivation, hay production, livestock operations, and light tillage. Distinguishing itself from smaller models like the MF 135 and MF 150, the MF 174 provided more horsepower and hydraulic capacity for heavier workloads. In comparison to larger models such as the MF 180, the MF 174 offered a more compact and maneuverable package, ideal for farms with limited space.
