sorry theres no year on the 244 brochure. I would think it was 1964 or 65.dad had a new 244 in 1965 then he had a new 200 in 1970. all the masseys i have seen have the loader like the 200b book you have

are these pics any use to you an old brochure not in very good condition but it is readable http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu13/jonmea/scan0010-1.jpg http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu13/jonmea/scan0011-1.jpg http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu13/jonmea/scan0012-1.jpg http://i629.photobucke...

The 200 & 2244 have a Z-bar.

the loader linkage on the 244 and 200 were the same in britain.
dad used to own a 244 and 200 years ago he thinks the tracks on the 200 were stronger. the 200 was a later model after the 244

massey 300

I loved those MF 200's.For a small machine they were very usefull.The plant firm I worked for has nearly all MF machines.I think the 200 was better than the newer 200d. Great photos on this thread,brings back memories. Martyn we always preferred the 200. the 200d didnt have enough power to cope wit...

the massey 50b dad used to have and the 50hx he has still got now

Hi Martyn
Yes that was a 300 with a 50 backhoe. good machine.
dad bought it second hand in 1980 and sold it in 1985.
the 200 front buckets were Ulrich. there was a chice between Rubery, owen and Ulrich.
