Buying Advice ID this Tractor

[smstonypoint]

Im currently in Germany. Not sure if that has anything to do with it, but I can't see that preventing me form even viewing posts. . I can access all other Forums I usually get on in the states no problem. Yesterdays tractors website brings up the most search hits on google for the Massey Im trying to ID, and I can't even view the threads .I can get on the website fine, The website isn't blocked, it just says Forum Use Disabled..Ill keep trying. Let me know if you can at least view threads. If you can, its probably my german internet blocking it. Lots of privacy stuff going on over here currently. Seems like every website i click on requires me to accept cookies and terms of use. Its getting kind of old...

I can view threads at YT with no problems.:confused3:

So my father swears this is the only Data plate he can find. My older MF65 does not have TRACTOR written into the serial number, this is the first time I have experienced it- although my experience is limited. Anyway, I still can’t seem to get much info from just this serial number. It appears to match up with MF 165, 135, 250, and other I’m sure. Any ideas?

9A242489 1976
9A257837 1977

Thanks M5, I should know more info tonight when the machine gets picked up. I’m curious where you got your information from? Just trying to learn as much as I can...

I just searched for the Prefix 9A that gave me the several models that had it then looked at each for the starting number after 9A , 1976 started 9A242489 yours is 9A249324 . 1977 started with 9A257837 so it was made in between the two starting numbers
