Lighting out or a brake problem on your Massey Ferguson 699? Sort it with one of more than 200 parts listed for this 600 series tractor, electrics included.
Plenty of Massey Ferguson 699 tractors from the 600 series are still hard at work, and on a machine of this age the hydraulics are usually the first thing to ask for attention. A linkage that slowly drops or a leaking lift arm shaft is a familiar story. This page lists more than 200 parts that fit the 699, from brands such as GRANIT, Eaton, Cobo, GRAMMER and PROBOSS.
For the lift there are sealing rings for the lift cylinder, gaskets for the lift housing and seals for the lift arm shaft. If the linkage sinks slowly with the engine running, the cylinder seal is the logical first suspect. Keep everything spotless during the job, as a single grain of sand on a new sealing ring will damage it on the first stroke. Coat the new rings in clean hydraulic oil before sliding the piston back in.
A decent seat makes a real difference to your back after a long day. For the 699 there are tractor seats and seat cushions, including air suspended models from GRAMMER and PROBOSS. With an air suspended seat, check whether your tractor has a power supply in the cab. For the lights there are lamp glasses and headlight inserts, which help when only the glass is cracked.
Around the engine you will find starter motors, an oil pressure switch, O-rings and gaskets. If the oil pressure light flickers on a hot engine, test the switch before suspecting the oil pump. It is a quick swap and often the real culprit. Thrust washers, pins, bolts and gas struts complete the page.
On a starter motor for a tractor of this age, it makes sense to renew the cables at the same time. An old battery lead with green corrosion under the insulation adds a lot of resistance, and even a new starter will then turn slowly. Thrust washers sit where a shaft is held in the axial direction, and a worn one shows up as end float. Fit the new washer with its grooved side facing the rotating part so the oil can do its job. Worn pins in the lift arms make for unsteady work behind the tractor.
The type plate confirms it is a 699. With hydraulic seals and gaskets, the number on the old part is your best guide. Compare it with the reference number listed with the product and you can order with confidence.
The Massey Ferguson 675 and Massey Ferguson 690 from the 600 series have their own pages too, showing exactly what fits each of them. For every other model of the brand, head to Massey Ferguson parts.
