900 parts and accessories
The Massey Ferguson 900 series tractors, produced primarily in the late 1970s and early 1980s, were known for their robust construction and versatility on the farm. Powered by reliable Perkins diesel engines delivering around 80-90 horsepower, these tractors offered ample power for various tasks. Their PTO horsepower of approximately 70-80, coupled with a simple mechanical design, made them a favorite for farmers seeking a dependable workhorse.
The Massey Ferguson 900 series tractors represented a key offering from Massey Ferguson during their production years, from the late 1970's through the mid 1980's. While a specific model number will vary this is a general overview. These tractors were typically equipped with a Perkins diesel engine, known for its durability. Engine displacement varied, but often fell in the 354 cubic inch range, producing around 80 to 90 horsepower. The transmission was generally a mechanical gear type, offering multiple forward and reverse speeds providing good control for field work. PTO horsepower ranged from 70 to 80, typically with a standard 540 RPM PTO. Hydraulic capacity was sufficient for operating implements like loaders and plows, providing around 15-20 GPM flow with multiple remotes. These tractors were equipped with a Category II 3-point hitch, capable of lifting several thousand pounds allowing for flexibility in implement choice. The MF 900 series found application in a variety of agricultural settings, including row crop farming, hay production, and livestock operations. Distinguishing it from smaller models, the 900 series offered more power and hydraulic capacity, while remaining more compact and fuel efficient than the larger frame models.

Maintenance Tips
- Engine Oil & Filter: Change the engine oil and filter every 250 hours using a high-quality diesel engine oil (e.g., 15W-40) and a genuine or equivalent oil filter to maintain engine lubrication and prevent wear.
- Hydraulic System: Inspect hydraulic oil levels regularly and change the hydraulic fluid and filter every 500 hours. Use the manufacturer-recommended hydraulic fluid and check for leaks in hoses and fittings to ensure optimal hydraulic performance.
- Fuel System: Use clean, fresh diesel fuel and replace the fuel filter every 250 hours to prevent fuel contamination and ensure proper engine combustion. Consider adding a fuel additive during cold weather to prevent fuel gelling.
- Seasonal Storage: Before storing the tractor for the off-season, drain the fuel tank or add a fuel stabilizer, change the engine oil and filter, grease all fittings, and disconnect the battery to prevent corrosion and ensure easy starting in the spring. Store the tractor in a dry, sheltered location.
