The Massey Ferguson 4240 is a versatile member of the 4200 Series utility tractors, prized for its reliable performance on mixed‑farm tasks. At NMT Group you’ll find a comprehensive range of 4240 parts – from brand new components to quality used and refurbished options – all designed to keep your tractor running smoothly. Whether you need an engine gasket, hydraulic pump, transmission gear, or simple wear items such as filters and belts, our catalogue makes it easy to locate the right replacement for this model. Based in Ireland and shipping worldwide, we supply every essential part so you can maintain productivity without delay.
Keeping a Massey Ferguson 4240 operating at peak efficiency often means sourcing the correct replacement parts promptly. Common items owners look for include engine components (cylinder heads, pistons, gaskets), cooling system parts (radiators, thermostats, fan belts), hydraulic and steering assemblies, clutch kits, brake drums, and electrical spares such as alternators, starters and wiring harnesses. The 4240’s straightforward mechanical layout also makes it a popular candidate for aftermarket upgrades – think larger PTO shafts, reinforced lift arms or upgraded lighting kits – all of which require precise fitment to maintain safety and performance.
Choosing the right part is crucial because even a small mismatch can lead to premature wear, reduced power output, or costly downtime. Our inventory lists each component with detailed references to original equipment numbers, ensuring you receive an exact match for your tractor’s specifications. When you opt for used or refurbished parts, you benefit from thorough inspection and testing processes that restore functionality while offering significant savings compared with brand‑new spares.

FAQs
Is the MF 4240 still a sensible used tractor to buy?
Yes — the 4240 is generally seen as a straightforward, practical utility tractor for hay work, livestock jobs, topping, and general yard duties. Its appeal is its simple Perkins engine, modest electronics, and usable power level, which is why tractors in this part of the 4200 range still come up regularly in buyer-advice threads.
What does the Massey Ferguson 4240 offer in terms of engine and power?
The MF 4240 is typically listed with a Perkins 1004.4T four-cylinder turbo diesel, producing around 75 hp, with about 65 hp at the PTO. Reference listings also describe it with an independent PTO, a Category II three-point hitch, and transmission choices that could vary by tractor, so it is worth checking the exact spec rather than assuming all 4240s are identical.
Which gearbox is fitted, and why do buyers keep asking about it?
Transmission spec is one of the first things forum users ask about on 4200-series tractors, because these models were sold with multiple gearbox layouts. The 4240 is commonly described with a standard 8-speed synchromesh and an optional 12-speed setup, while broader 4200-series discussions show how much owner opinion can depend on whether a tractor has a basic mechanical box, shuttle setup, or one of the more involved transmission variants.
If steering gets heavy or the hydraulics fade when warm, what does that usually point to?
That complaint comes up repeatedly on closely related 4200-series tractors. In one 4235 owner thread, the steering became stiff after about an hour and the hydraulics slowed down as though the tractor was being starved of oil; replies pointed toward checking the suction side, strainers/screens, and pump flow. For a 4240, that makes hot hydraulic performance something you should test carefully rather than judging the tractor only when cold.
Are shuttle or drive faults something to be wary of on this series?
Yes — transmission and shuttle behaviour are recurring discussion topics across the 4200 family. A 4255 24x24 Power Shuttle thread describes loss of forward drive, fault codes, and concern over the control unit versus forward/reverse clutch packs, while a 4270 thread points to pressure-related hydraulic causes when drive disappears at low rpm. Those threads are not about the 4240 specifically, but they are highly relevant if you are looking at a 4240 with shuttle or more complex transmission equipment.
What deserves the closest inspection before buying a used MF 4240?
Focus on cold starting, clutch action, gearbox selection, steering feel, hydraulic speed when hot, PTO engagement, and any warning lights or fault flashes. That checklist matches the main patterns seen in 4200-series discussions: buyers ask about whether the tractor has enough power for general work, owners report stuck clutches after storage, and mechanics repeatedly come back to hydraulic pressure, sensors, and transmission behaviour when diagnosing faults.
