We have matched more than 140 parts to the Massey Ferguson 550, a tractor from the 500 series, including lighting and engine parts.
The Massey Ferguson 550 is a tractor people keep working on because it is worth it. If you want to keep one in good order or bring one back, this page has more than 140 new parts that fit the 550, from GRANIT, Eaton, GRAMMER, PROBOSS and Cobo.
When the lift leaks oil or the three-point linkage slowly drops, a gasket or seal is often to blame. Here you will find gaskets for the lift cover block, seals for the lift arm shaft and sealing rings. For the three-point linkage itself there are bearings, balls and pins, such as a top link pin, and bolts as well.
Something to watch when renewing a lift arm shaft seal: clean the shaft thoroughly and feel with a fingertip for a groove worn into the running surface. A new seal on a grooved shaft will soon leak again. Give the seal a light coat of grease before you slide it on, so the lip does not fold over.
Around the engine there are oil pressure switches, oil sump gaskets and copper sealing rings for the injectors. Never reuse those copper rings. They are crushed when tightened and will not seal properly a second time, which leads to lost compression and soot around the injector. For the exhaust there are vertical silencers.
A worn seat makes every hour on the tractor feel longer. This page offers tractor seats, including the air suspended Maximo Professional, plus seats from GRAMMER and PROBOSS. For lighting there are headlight inserts and rear lights, so you are clearly seen on the road again.
If a lamp is dim or flickers, check the earth connection first. On a tractor of this age there is often rust between the lamp and the mudguard. A contact face cleaned back to bare metal sometimes does more than a new lamp. With a new seat, measure the spacing of the mounting holes on the existing console so the seat fits without drilling.
The type plate on the tractor gives the exact model. On a tractor of this age, parts have sometimes been swapped for something else over the years, so if in doubt rely on the reference number on the old part. Lay the old part next to the product photo and any difference in shape or connection stands out straight away.
Massey Ferguson counts the 550 among its 500 series tractors. Two siblings from that series have their own page with their parts:
