History of the Massey Ferguson 148

Four years in the range

The 148 was made from 1972 to 1976, a short career by Massey Ferguson standards, in the years when the company was replacing its 100 range with the 200 series. No published account of the tractor’s engine, transmission or production numbers was found in the sources used for this page, so none is given.
