Just wondering, because I have something that I was wanting to post here for sale, but didn't want to step on any toes? Thanks, Rick

Agco stands for Allis Gleaner Company. Most died hard Allis folks have a hatred for Massey because it’s what’s forced upon us.

To answer your question Rick, YES, Massey Ferguson is owned by AGCO and has been for several years now.

Sure, no problem Rick. If you have something Massey to list, i'm sure no one will hold it against you, you'll prolly have good luck here because quite a few Allis guys have Massey stuff cause they don't want to go Green or (IH) Red. Some are even Agco/Massey dealers on here.

Yep. I'm one of those who went to using Massey because of dealer loyalty and not wanting to go green or the other red. From my experience so far Massey makes a good dependable tractor. Still use our Orange also.

If it fits a perkins, there's a chance it could fit a 170/175D, so it's worth the gamble lol! Agco bought MF almost 30 years ago.

Thanks, Ed...I usually only go to the local AGCO dealer nearest me (about 40 miles one way) and deal with them and can't ever remember anything there, except Allis Chalmers and New Holland tractors in their lot. It wasn't until roughly 5-6 years ago that I thought I remembered some folks talking about that on here, thus the question! LOL! I'm getting older now, but didn't think I was that slow, but...could be I am!

It wouldn't bother me in the least if you posted it hear and pictures would really make it great. If I had to buy a different color it would be a Massey. I've used my friends and they are a comfortable tractor.

Bought my first Deere a couple years ago and will eventually add more. When Allis closed up a fair number of engineers when to Deere and it shows. My 8760 has the feel of a 8000 series Allis in the cab.

Not too impressed when my cousin bought a brand new 90 hp Massey loader tractor. Not sure on the model, the engine is only a 3 cylinder and it looks like you could sling that little engine on your shoulders and carry it to the shop...... kinda ugly too with the extremely sloped hood and a cheap plastic buddy seat. Hope he doesn't read this.
BTW I don't think anyone would complain no matter what brand you want to try and sell here. I sure wouldn't complain.

Before Massy Ferguson it was Massy Harris. I make grill screens for the Massy Harris models, 22-23, 30, 33-44, 55, 101.

So...What it is that you have for sale? May as well post it. Anyone that's not interested can scroll right on past it. I always thought this forum was for AC enthusiasts, If a member that has a pretty good status want's to list something that's not orange, I'm ok with that. I've seen Fords, Chevy's and lots of off color items posted here and have never been offended, if I'm not interested, I keep looking. Leon B MO

So what ya gots to sell?
If I was to get an older Massey it would be an 1100 or 1130 judging by what I've heard of them. Though I help put a fan belt on an older Massey..... no fun.

If by AC shows you mean Gathering Of The Orange/GOTO, they are hosted by antique tractor clubs that mostly allow all makes of tractors, and feature a different make at their show each year.

Pew, NO! But I think one could sell any brand on this site.

I suspect not for the Gathering of the Orange, AC only and that's the way it ought to be. I know The Orange Spectacular is AC only. Now I think that does include tractors that AC bought out and sold the remaining inventory under the AC umbrella and may include AGCO tractors but for these type of shows it would be a stretch to bring a Massey or Oliver or Minnie.

Always looking for a decent Massey Harris 444... never anything close enough to make it worth the look.

I need more than 200 characters for my "signature." I'd love to see that changed to 250!

When Dad bought his new 1950 WD the competition was a 44 Massey Harris. He always thought the MH tractors at that time were pretty decent. Traded a John Deere A in on the AC then all AC after that. In the 1960's a neighbor had a 300 MF combine. Said that if it ever caught fire he would try to extinguish it with a can of gasoline. There were lots of different colors around the neighborhood back in the 50's and everyone seemed to get their work done. So Rick, what are you selling?
