Replacement for Massey Ferguson MF-265 tractor with Perkins AD4-236 diesel engine year 1974. This starter operates at 12 volts to support engine cranking in the specified tractor application.

The Massey Ferguson MF-265 is a classic workhorse tractor widely used in agricultural and industrial settings during the 1970s. Equipped with the reliable Perkins AD4-236 four-cylinder diesel engine, this model demands a robust starting system capable of delivering consistent cranking power in demanding field conditions. Our replacement starter is engineered to meet those exact requirements, providing dependable performance that helps operators get back to work quickly without unexpected downtime.

Built with components, this 12-volt starter features precision-machined gears and heavy-duty solenoids that resist wear from repeated use. It delivers strong torque output to turn over the AD4-236 engine even in cold weather or after long periods of inactivity. Technicians appreciate the straightforward installation process that aligns with factory mounting points, reducing labor time and eliminating the need for custom modifications or adapters. Additional engineering includes sealed bearings to protect against dust and moisture intrusion common in farm environments, along with reinforced armature windings that handle high current loads during extended cranking cycles. Operators benefit from reduced battery strain thanks to optimized gear ratios that improve efficiency without sacrificing starting speed.

Field testing confirms reliable starts across temperature ranges from below freezing to extreme summer heat, making this unit suitable for year-round use in varied climates. The starter housing is finished with corrosion-resistant coatings to extend service life when exposed to fertilizers, fuels, and outdoor storage conditions typical for legacy tractors.
