Massey Ferguson 307 Combine Parts
307 parts and accessories
The Massey Ferguson 307 combine, manufactured in the late 1970s and early 1980s, was a popular choice for farmers due to its reliability and simple design. Typically powered by a Perkins diesel engine producing around 105 horsepower, it offered header widths ranging from 13 to 18 feet. The 307 utilized a conventional cylinder separator, making it a dependable workhorse for small to medium-sized farms.
The Massey Ferguson 307 was a staple in many fields during its production run. Powered by a Perkins A6.354 naturally aspirated 5.8L (354 cu in) diesel engine producing approximately 105 horsepower, the 307 provided ample power for its size. This model employed a conventional threshing system, utilizing a cylinder and concave to separate grain from the plant material. The grain tank capacity was approximately 75 bushels. The unloading auger offered a rate of roughly 25 bushels per minute. Available header widths ranged from 13 to 18 feet, allowing for adaptability to various field sizes and crop types. While a chopper/spreader option was not always standard, aftermarket solutions were often implemented. The cab was relatively simple compared to modern machines, offering basic operator controls and visibility. The Massey Ferguson 307 excelled at harvesting small grains like wheat and barley, as well as soybeans, thanks to its efficient and reliable threshing system.

Maintenance Tips
- Concave Adjustment: Regularly check and adjust the concave clearance to ensure proper threshing and minimize grain loss. Refer to the operator's manual for specific recommendations based on the crop being harvested.
- Belt and Chain Tension: Inspect all belts and chains for wear and proper tension. Loose or worn components can lead to inefficiencies and potential breakdowns. Replace worn parts promptly.
- Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Regularly clean the sieves and chaffer to remove debris and ensure proper airflow for efficient grain separation. This will prevent grain loss over the back of the combine.
- Bearing Greasing: Grease all bearings according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Proper lubrication is crucial for extending the lifespan of bearings and preventing premature failure.
