Whether it is electrics, a trailer coupling or lighting you need for the Massey Ferguson 4708, this page lists more than 70 parts for the 4700 series tractor.
An alternator that has stopped charging, a horn that only clicks, a mirror knocked loose by a hedge. These are the jobs that usually bring a Massey Ferguson 4708 owner to this page. You will find more than 70 parts here that are matched to this tractor, from GRANIT as well as Walterscheid, MAHLE, Scharmüller and HELLA.
Connector heads wear at the seal and the valve, and a leaking one empties the trailer reservoir over time. When you replace them, watch the colour. Red is the supply line and yellow is the brake control line. Mixing them up means the trailer will not brake properly. Check the hose behind the head too, as a new head on a cracked line solves nothing.
The same habit pays off with the thermostat. Order the seal with it, because an old gasket that has been compressed for years rarely seals again.
Before replacing the alternator, run a quick check. Measure the battery voltage with the engine off and again with it running. If the reading does not rise, the alternator is not charging. If it does, look at the battery, the cables and anything that draws current while parked. A slipping drive belt can mimic a failed alternator too, so check its tension before ordering.
Start with the type plate and confirm it reads 4708 rather than another model from the 4700 range. If you still have the worn part, look for the number stamped or printed on it. Compare that reference number with the details on the product and you can be confident the connections and mounting match. For fender springs and pivots, left and right are always seen from the driver's seat looking forward.

Keeping one page per machine means the parts for the 4708 stay together, and nothing meant for a different tractor ends up on the workshop bench.
