Massey Ferguson 400 Combine Parts

400 parts and accessories

The Massey Ferguson 400 series combines, produced in the late 1970s and early 1980s, were known for their reliability and straightforward design. Typically featuring engines in the 100-140 HP range and header widths from 13 to 20 feet, these conventional combines offered a practical solution for smaller to medium-sized farms. Their robust construction and ease of maintenance made them a popular choice for harvesting wheat, soybeans, and other grains.

The Massey Ferguson 400 combine series was introduced in the late 1970s, offering farmers a dependable and economical harvesting solution. Engine options generally included Perkins diesel engines, with horsepower ranging from approximately 100 to 140 HP, and displacements around 354 cubic inches. The threshing system employed a conventional cylinder and concave design, known for its effectiveness in a variety of crops. Grain tank capacity was typically around 100-150 bushels, with unloading auger speeds around 50-60 bushels per minute. Available header widths ranged from 13 to 20 feet, accommodating different field sizes and harvesting needs. While a dedicated chopper wasn't always standard, straw spreaders were common options. The cab offered basic operator comfort and controls. The MF 400 series excelled in harvesting grains like wheat, soybeans, and barley, proving a versatile and durable workhorse for many farms.

Maintenance Tips

Concave Adjustment: Regularly check and adjust concave clearance to ensure optimal threshing performance and minimize grain loss. Refer to the operator's manual for recommended settings based on crop type.
Belt and Chain Tension: Inspect all belts and chains for wear and proper tension. Loose or worn components can lead to inefficient operation and potential breakdowns.
Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Clean sieves and chaffers regularly to prevent buildup of crop residue. This ensures proper airflow and reduces grain loss over the back.
Bearing Greasing: Grease all bearings according to the manufacturer's recommended schedule. Proper lubrication is crucial for preventing bearing failure and extending the lifespan of your combine.
