Restoring a Massey Ferguson 210-4. Im looking for 4wd front drive parts etc. Had a graphics company reproduce the instrument panel decals for this series of Massey if anybody needs a replacement, they go on easy and are exact duplicate of original

Welcome to the forum, sounds like you're doing a full-up restoration. Have you taken any pictures you can share, lots of interest in restoration projects and a great way to share 'lessons-learned" for those considering similar projects.

According to tractordata.com the Massey Ferguson 210-4 was manufactured by Hinomoto from 1978-1984 in Osaka, Japan. My understanding is that getting parts for anything made by Hinomoto can sometimes be next to impossible. Good luck. :)

agco has the front end parts I need. They are very exspensive new. If these tractors were imposible to repair the salvage yards would have plenty of them for used parts. They must be fairly servicable tractors. They built a lot of them

will post detail photos when I can. This is a fun little tractor to wrench on. It is very simple but built with quality parts that are easy to refurbish

Well Scott, either you've found a real gem there or you've done an incredible amount of work, either way, well done! It looks like it just rolled off the factory line.

Robert,
Thanks for the kind words. I was somewhat ashamed of how my 210-4 looked before I started to spiff her up, so I didnt take a lot of photos before the restoration. She was not in horrible condition but needed all new paint, decals and hardware. Agco had many parts but some items like the instrument panel decal had to be reproduced from a photo . I replaced a lot of hoses and rubber parts after removing all the ancillary devices from the engine compartment including the radiator and battery tray. The whole tractor including the rear fluid filled wheels were amazingly corrosion free. The loader bucket was dinged up so the nice guys at Menconi Welding in Brookfield, MO made a new bucket for me using the original bracket ($400) Brookfield Tire installed 2 new rear tires and tubes for ($560) and now all I have to do is find one more front 4WD part to completely finish her. The part is available from Agco new. but I will save lots of money if I am patient and get it from a salvage yard. For now she is 2WD only, but is perfectly functional for me. I have restored several cars, motorcycles and aircraft but didnt realize how much fun tractor restorations can be. This little tractor is elegant in it's simplicity and a real pleasure to own.
