Massey Ferguson 29 Combine Parts

29 parts and accessories

The Massey Ferguson 29 combine harvester, produced from the late 1970s into the early 1980s, was a popular choice for farmers seeking a reliable and durable machine. Typically powered by a Perkins diesel engine offering around 105 HP, it offered header widths up to 20 feet. Known for its conventional threshing system and ease of maintenance, the MF 29 helped farmers efficiently harvest their grain crops.

The Massey Ferguson 29 entered the market offering a robust solution for grain harvesting. Production spanned from the late 1970s to the early 1980s, and during that time, it became a well-regarded machine. The MF 29 typically used a Perkins 6.247 diesel engine, delivering approximately 105 horsepower with a displacement around 380 cubic inches (6.2 Liters), offering plenty of power for various field conditions. It employed a conventional threshing system featuring a cylinder width of approximately 42 inches. The grain tank could hold around 90-100 bushels, and unloading was accomplished at a rate of approximately 35-40 bushels per minute. Available header widths ranged from 13 to 20 feet. Options sometimes included a straw chopper or spreader. The cab offered basic operator comfort with controls designed for easy operation. It performs particularly well in harvesting wheat, soybeans, and corn. While not as technologically advanced as later models, the MF 29 maintained a reputation for reliability and simplicity.

Maintenance Tips

Concave Adjustment: Regularly inspect and adjust the concave clearance according to the crop being harvested to minimize grain loss and damage.
Belt and Chain Tension: Ensure proper tension on all belts and chains. Loose belts slip, reducing efficiency, and overly tight belts cause premature wear.
Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Frequently clean the sieves and chaffer to remove debris and ensure efficient grain separation. Clogged sieves lead to increased grain loss.
Bearing Greasing: Regularly grease all bearings according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Proper lubrication prevents premature bearing failure.
