Among the more than 200 parts for the Massey Ferguson 8690 you will find trailer couplings, electrics and lighting, all selected for the 8600 series.
Long days on a Massey Ferguson 8690 are felt in the seat and in everything hitched behind. This page lists more than 200 parts for the type, from GRANIT and from ROCKINGER, Walterscheid, GRAMMER and Scharmüller.
A good seat is no luxury on a tractor you sit on from dawn to dusk in the busy season. If the air suspension sags or the heater stops working, your back will tell you by evening. At the same time the 8690 often pulls heavy equipment, so the drawbar, the locking pin and the forced steering need regular attention as well. This page covers both sides, from the cab to the hitch. Check the locking pin on a Piton Fix rail for wear and bending every time you change the setup, and replace it if it no longer slides in cleanly.
Thermostats and radiator hoses look after the cooling system, and temperature sensors serve the air conditioning. O-rings, for example for the oil filler cap, keep dirt out of the engine. LED headlights provide the light, and relays switch the circuits. A tip for relays: when a function drops out, swap the relay temporarily with an identical one from another circuit. If it works afterwards, you know the relay was the culprit.
Several seats are available, such as a PROBOSS seat with air suspension and seat heater, a Maximo Dynamic with air suspension and an air suspended tractor seat in fabric. Before choosing a different seat, measure the hole pattern on the console and the room to the dashboard. A seat with heating or air suspension also needs a power supply in the cab.
For hitching there are automatic drawbars, Piton Fix rails with a locking pin and forced steering parts. Operation includes a push button for the PTO mounted on the outside of the fender. A fender spring and a seal for the door handle are small but useful extras.
The type plate tells you that you are dealing with an 8690. A reference number on the old part helps narrow the choice, especially with thermostats that look alike from the outside. Massey Ferguson places the 8690 in its 8600 line-up. From that series the Massey Ferguson 8650 has its own page with matching parts. The Massey Ferguson 8670 is part of the series too.
