Work on your Fendt 208 Vario with the right parts to hand. More than 300 items for the Fendt 200 series, such as lighting, electrics and trailer couplings.
The Fendt 208 Vario was made in more than one version, and Fendt tells them apart by a Typ number. When you need a headlight, a switch or an air brake coupling that is certain to fit, that number is the place to start. This page covers more than 300 parts for the 208 Vario as a whole, from GRANIT, HELLA, Wabco, Scharmüller and GRAMMER.
You will find the Typ number on the tractor's type plate. Once you know it, go straight to the page that only shows parts for your version:
If the plate is no longer legible, take the reference number from the part you are removing and compare it with the numbers shown on the product.
Much of the day to day repair work on a 208 Vario happens in and around the cab. Here you will find push button switches for the hazard lights, rocker switches, headlights, LED spotlights for work lighting and a rotating beacon with its holder and spring. For the rear window there is a hinge disc. On the engine side there is a pressure switch for the fuel filter head, along with seals, pins, bushes and a holder for the wheel chock.
For the three point linkage there is a hydraulic top link, which lets you adjust the angle of an implement from the seat. The air brake system is covered by connector heads and separate covers. One habit saves a lot of brake trouble: always close the cover when no trailer is hooked up. Grit and water in the connector head damage the rubber seal, and whatever gets in will end up in the brake lines sooner or later. If a head hisses when you couple up, replace the seal or the complete head.
If a rocker switch runs warm or a function cuts out now and then, the contacts inside are worn. Replace it before the plug behind it starts to melt, and take a photo of the wiring before you disconnect anything. Switching to LED spotlights also eases the load on the circuit, since they draw less current than halogen lamps.
The 208 Vario has several siblings in the same series, each with a page of its own:
The 208 and the 210 were also made as V Vario models. Everything else from the brand is under Fendt parts.
