Massey Ferguson MF 100: the MF 175 / MF177 (DE) (1965-1971) with a four-cylinder diesel engine, 3,867 cm³ displacement, 67 hp at 2,000 rpm and a weight of 2,660 kg
In the 1960s, the MF 100 series was the backbone of Massey Ferguson's mid power segment, replacing earlier lines with more modern engine and transmission technology. Tractors in this class marked the shift from the small all-purpose tractor to the versatile field tractor with larger displacement and more gear ratios.

The MF 175 / MF177 (DE) has a water-cooled four-cylinder diesel engine with 3,867 cm³ displacement, producing 67 hp at a rated speed of 2,000 rpm, and drives its wheels solely through the rear axle. With a driveline offered as a 6+2 or optionally 12+4-speed Multi-Power gearbox and a weight of 2,660 kg, it was built for field work with frequent gear changes.
The Multi-Power gearbox allowed shifting under load at the push of a button, an advanced feature for its time that eased field work compared with purely mechanically shifted gearboxes. As a rear-wheel-drive-only tractor with no engageable front axle, it belongs to the classic standard-tractor design from before four-wheel drive became widely available.
When buying a used rear-wheel-drive tractor of this age, the function of the Multi-Power gearbox is a key checkpoint, since worn hydraulics delay gear changes or prevent them altogether. Equally important are the condition of the injection pump, the brakes and the rear axle seals on a machine from this decade.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
