Massey Ferguson 34 Combine Parts

34 parts and accessories

The Massey Ferguson 34 combine harvester, produced in the late 1970s and early 1980s, was a popular choice for farmers seeking a reliable and affordable machine. These combines typically featured engines around 105 horsepower and were available with header widths ranging from 13 to 15 feet. Their conventional separator design made them particularly effective in harvesting small grains and soybeans, contributing to their widespread adoption.

The Massey Ferguson 34 was introduced as a versatile and economical combine harvester aimed at smaller and mid-sized farms. Production spanned from the late 1970s to the early 1980s. The engine was typically a Perkins 6.247 diesel, providing approximately 105 horsepower with a 247 cubic inch (4.0 liter) displacement. The separator system utilized a conventional cylinder and concave design, with a cylinder width of around 45 inches. Grain tank capacity was approximately 70 bushels, and the unloading auger offered an unloading rate of around 25 bushels per minute. Available header widths ranged from 13 to 15 feet, providing flexibility for different field sizes and crop types. While chopper and spreader options were available, they weren't standard on all models. The cab was relatively basic compared to later models, but still provided protection from the elements. The MF 34 excelled at harvesting small grains like wheat and barley, as well as soybeans, due to its efficient threshing and separating capabilities.

Maintenance Tips

Concave Adjustment: Regularly inspect and adjust the concave clearance to ensure optimal threshing performance. Proper concave settings minimize grain loss and damage.
Belt and Chain Tension: Check and maintain proper tension on all belts and chains. Loose or overtightened belts and chains can lead to premature wear and potential breakdowns.
Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Clean the sieves and chaffers regularly to prevent clogging and ensure efficient grain separation. Clogged screens reduce harvesting efficiency and increase grain loss.
Bearing Greasing: Grease all bearings according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Proper lubrication extends bearing life and prevents costly repairs.
