History of the Massey Ferguson 145

A ten-year model

The MF145 was built for ten years, from 1965 to 1975. That period covers the years in which Massey Ferguson consolidated its 100 range, the first single family of tractors sold under the merged Massey Harris and Ferguson name, but no published account of the 145 itself survives in the reference works used here.

What is not known

No reliable figures for engine, transmission, production numbers or markets could be confirmed from a published source, so this page does not give any. Owners’ clubs and period sales literature are the usual places to look for them.

Design and features

  • Long production run: ten years, from 1965 to 1975.

Massey Ferguson 145 versions

  • 145 (1965–1975): the only version documented.

The 145 belongs to the same decade as the 135 and the 148. More tractors are in the Massey Ferguson collection.
