Massey Ferguson 98 Tractor Parts

98 parts and accessories

The Massey Ferguson 98 tractor, produced in the mid-1960s, was known for its reliability and versatility on the farm. Typically powered by a Perkins diesel engine delivering around 78 horsepower, it provided ample power for various agricultural tasks. Its PTO horsepower, in the neighborhood of 68-72, made it a popular choice for pulling implements and powering machinery.

The Massey Ferguson 98 was part of the MF Super 90 series, built from 1965 to 1968. It was designed to be a step up in power from smaller models, offering farmers enhanced capabilities for a wider range of tasks. The engine was a Perkins A4.236 four-cylinder diesel, rated at approximately 78 engine horsepower with a displacement of 236 cubic inches. The transmission was typically a manual gearbox with 8 forward and 2 reverse gears. The PTO delivered around 72 horsepower at 540 RPM. The hydraulic system capacity was around 8 GPM, generally with one or two remote valves. It had a Category II three-point hitch, capable of lifting roughly 4,000 pounds. The MF 98 was commonly used for row crop operations, hay baling, livestock feeding, and light tillage work. It distinguished itself with a robust design and a relatively simple mechanical setup, making it easier to maintain than some of its more complex contemporaries. The MF 98 provided a sweet spot of size and power for the farms of the time.
