    Massey Ferguson / Massey-Harris / Ferguson Serial Number Lookup

    Use the full serial and exact model. US-built 100 and 200 Series tractors share the 9A sequence. Earlier 100 Series tractors have model-specific prefixes, and UK-built tractors use separate tables.

    No serial handy? Leave it blank to see the build years, where the plate is and every manual for your model. Add the serial to narrow it to your exact year and manual.

    Two published sources broadly agree on these year breaks.

    From 1967 the US-built 100 Series share one serial run with a 9A prefix. Before that each model had its own prefix: 641 = 135, 642 = 150, 643 = 165, 644 = 175. UK-built (Coventry) 135s have their own list starting at 101 in 1965. The 135 list is confirmed by anglo-agriparts.com; tractordata's 150, 165 and 175 pages show a slightly different list for 1971 and 1974.
