Buying Advice Part availability for Massey 461

[sawtooth]

I have a 2004 model that's been great. One concern I have though is that this tractor is getting older now and I'm wondering how hard it will become to get parts. Will aftermarket continue making parts for low volume models? Very few 461's were sold so not sure what to expect.

Thank you,

Back in the early and mid-2000's, Massey updated platforms every few years, meaning a lot of low volume lines... The 11 series became the 12, which sorta became the 14, and then they went to 15, 16, and now 17's... Most runs were 3-4 years.

I have a 2003 1455, and all the parts I have needed are available still. With no MF dealer near me, I look up parts on the AGCO catalog, and then order through Jack's Small Engines. Zero problems so far... I'm not too worried at this point. Perhaps in another 15 or 20 years it'll be more of an issue, but who knows...
