WHAT MASSEY FERGUSON TRACTOR MODEL IS THIS?

I just bought a Massey Ferguson industrial loader tractor, but cannot find any identification plate on it other than a serial number tag with S/N 9AI395I.

It has a 4 cylinder diesel, three speed trans with hi-lo range plus a shuttle shift. No 3 point hitch, but does have a PTO. The cover near the PTO lever says "Engine PTO" & "Ground PTO". I noticed that the PTO will run clockwise and counter-clockwise depending if the shuttle shift is in forward or reverse.

The loader is a "wobble" stick with front/back movement lowering/raising the boom & left/right movement tilting the bucket.

Everything is massive cast iron. The radiator shell (the grille is missing) and the steering console is all cast iron.

Power steering is hydrostatic with no direct mechanical linkage from the steering wheel to the twin cylinders on the tie rod.

The fenders are flat topped with almost a diamond tread stamping on top.

It appears to be originally yellow and has been repainted yellow. It has M-F logos on the steering wheel and at the top/front of the radiator shell.

What model is it and are parts available for it?

Most parts will be available - a lot of common parts with ag models. Just a matter of finding which one!

Engine - is it an AD4-203? Serial number will likely be stamped at the top rear of the block, left side. If A4-203, it will likely be top left front,over the injector pump. A4 has vertical injectors, later AD4 has slanted ones. You may have a bigger engine - 212, 236 or 248, but I have nothing to help identify them.

I'm not familiar with the transmission combination on yours. Our inds have a hi-lo, 1-2, no clutch, forward/rev/accelerator pedal on the right, brakes on the left.

Engine type and number may help pin it down. Del Gentner is a real font of knowledge - see the 202 message down the page a bit for his phone number. He's in Texas. Cost you some long distance charges, but he's really worth the call!

Let us know.
