Massey Ferguson 640 Combine Parts

640 parts and accessories

The Massey Ferguson 640 combine, produced in the late 1970s and early 1980s, was a workhorse known for its reliability and simplicity. Powered by a robust Perkins diesel engine delivering around 105 horsepower, it offered header widths up to 18 feet. Its conventional separator design made it a popular choice for farmers seeking a dependable machine for harvesting a variety of grains.

The Massey Ferguson 640 combine harvester was introduced as a mid-sized option for farmers needing a reliable and efficient machine. Production spanned from approximately 1978 to 1983. The 640 was typically powered by a Perkins A6.354 diesel engine, generating around 105 horsepower with a displacement of 354 cubic inches (5.8 liters). Its separator utilized a conventional cylinder and concave system, providing effective threshing action. The grain tank capacity was approximately 135 bushels, with an unloading auger rate around 40 bushels per minute. Available header widths ranged from 13 to 18 feet, allowing for adaptability across various field sizes. Chopper and spreader options were available to manage residue. While not featuring the advanced technology of later models, the 640 offered a functional cab for operator comfort. This combine was well-suited for harvesting wheat, soybeans, and other small grains, particularly excelling in clean threshing and overall durability.

Maintenance Tips

Concave Adjustment: Regularly inspect and adjust the concave clearance according to the crop being harvested. Proper adjustment minimizes grain damage and maximizes threshing efficiency.
Belt and Chain Tension: Check belt and chain tension frequently, especially during the initial hours of operation each season. Loose belts and chains can lead to slippage, reduced performance, and premature wear.
Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Clean the sieves and chaffer regularly to remove debris and ensure proper airflow. Clogged sieves reduce cleaning efficiency and increase grain loss.
Bearing Greasing: Grease all bearings according to the manufacturer's recommended schedule. Proper lubrication is crucial for preventing bearing failure and extending component life.
