History of the Massey Ferguson 245

Seven years in the catalogue

The 245 was produced from 1976 to 1983, the period in which Massey Ferguson’s 200 series replaced the 100 range. No published account of the engine, transmission or production numbers was found in the sources used here, so none is given.
