History of the Massey Ferguson 50

Seven years before the 100 range

The 50 was built from 1957 to 1964, the years in which Massey Ferguson established its single range after the merger of Massey Harris and Ferguson, and it was replaced when the 100 range arrived. No published account of the engine, transmission or production numbers was found in the sources used here, so none is given.
