Massey Ferguson PONY Tractor Parts

PONY parts and accessories

The Massey Ferguson Pony was a compact utility tractor manufactured from 1957 to 1965, designed to bridge the gap between walk-behind tractors and larger agricultural machines. Powered by a Continental gasoline engine producing around 22 horsepower, the Pony delivered approximately 19 PTO horsepower. Its simple design and affordability made it a popular choice for small farms, orchards, and market gardens.

The Massey Ferguson Pony was introduced in 1957 as an entry-level tractor aimed at smaller farms and specialty operations. Production continued until 1965. The Pony was equipped with a Continental F124 gasoline engine. This 124 cubic inch (2.0 L) inline-4 engine generated approximately 22 horsepower. It used a 3-speed manual transmission. The Pony's PTO delivered around 19 horsepower at 540 RPM. The hydraulic system had a relatively low flow rate, sufficient for operating implements like a rear-mounted mower or a light-duty blade. Its 3-point hitch was a Category 0, suitable for small implements. Common applications included mowing, light tillage in gardens, and orchard work. The Pony distinguished itself with its compact size, low operating cost, and ease of use, making it an ideal stepping stone for farmers transitioning from manual labor to mechanized agriculture. Unlike larger Massey Ferguson models, the Pony prioritized simplicity and affordability over brute force, carving a niche in the small-farm market.

Change the engine oil and filter every 100 hours of operation using a high-quality oil formulated for gasoline engines.
Inspect and clean the fuel system regularly, paying attention to the fuel filter and carburetor, to prevent fuel-related issues, especially after seasonal storage.
Check the hydraulic fluid level and condition regularly. Replace the fluid according to the manufacturer's recommendations to ensure optimal hydraulic performance.
Before storing the tractor for the winter, drain the fuel tank and carburetor to prevent fuel degradation and corrosion. Add fuel stabilizer to the remaining fuel to prevent gumming.
