Massey Ferguson 555 Tractor Parts

The Massey Ferguson 555 was introduced in 1975 as part of the updated MF 100 series. Production continued until 1979. The tractor's strength lay in its simplicity and robust design, making it a favorite among farmers needing a dependable machine. The engine was usually a Perkins 4.236 four-cylinder diesel, delivering approximately 59 engine horsepower with a displacement of 236 cubic inches. A gasoline version using a Continental engine was also available in some markets, although the diesel was far more common. The transmission was typically a manual gear transmission, offering 8 forward and 2 reverse speeds, providing a good range for different tasks. PTO horsepower was around 52, delivered at 540 RPM. The hydraulic system had a capacity of around 8.7 GPM, powering the 3-point hitch, which was typically a Category II hitch with a lift capacity of approximately 3500 lbs. The MF 555 was commonly used for hay production, livestock operations (feeding, manure handling), and light tillage. It distinguished itself from other models in the MF lineup, like the smaller MF 255 and larger MF 575, by offering a balance of power and maneuverability suitable for medium-sized farms.
