Searching for electrics, a trailer coupling or lighting for a Massey Ferguson 8670? This 8600 series tractor is listed here with more than 200 parts in groups.
Long days in the seat of an 8670 make every worn cushion, rattling mirror and draughty door handle noticeable. A good share of the more than 200 parts for this Massey Ferguson are aimed at the cab and the driver, alongside alternators, thermostats, radiator hoses and hitching gear from GRANIT, GRAMMER, Walterscheid, ROCKINGER and Scharmüller.
There are tractor seats and seat units in several versions, including air suspended GRAMMER seats and a Maximo Dynamic seat. If an air seat slowly sinks after standing overnight, listen around the compressor and the air bag before you condemn it. A leaking bag or a hose that has slipped off is a common cause, and the seat itself can often stay. When a replacement is needed, the model on the seat's own label helps you pick the right one.
Elsewhere in the cab you will find mirrors, door handle seals, push button switches such as the yellow PTO switch on the fender, and a temperature sensor for the air conditioning.
Under the bonnet there are alternators, thermostats, radiator hoses and an O-ring for the oil filler cap. When the battery stops charging properly, check belt tension and the earth connection before swapping the alternator, since both cause the same symptoms. Replacing a radiator hose is a good moment to fit new clamps and squeeze the other hoses near their connections. One that feels soft or swollen is likely to be the next to go.
For work behind the tractor there are automatic drawbars and pick-up hitch hooks. On the fenders, springs and pivots let the fender move with the wheels without tearing its mounts. Inspect the hook of a pick-up hitch where the drawbar eye rests on it. Once a groove has worn visibly into that face, replace the hook before it gives way under load.
Within the 8600 series the tractors look very similar from the outside, so read the type plate to be sure you have an 8670 in front of you. If the old part carries a stamped number, compare it with the reference number shown with the product.
If a Massey Ferguson 8690 or a Massey Ferguson 8650 stands in the shed as well, each of them has its own page with the parts that suit that model. The full line-up of the brand is on Massey Ferguson parts.
