Massey Ferguson 70 Combine Parts

70 parts and accessories

The Massey Ferguson 70 combine, manufactured in the late 1970s and early 1980s, was a popular choice for farmers seeking a reliable and efficient grain harvesting solution. Typically equipped with a Perkins diesel engine producing around 150-175 HP, it offered header widths ranging from 13 to 20 feet. Its conventional cylinder separator and straightforward design made it a dependable workhorse for small to medium-sized farms.

The Massey Ferguson 70 combine was introduced in the late 1970s as a successor to earlier Massey Ferguson combine models. It was produced until the early 1980s. Powering the MF 70 was typically a Perkins diesel engine, delivering approximately 150-175 horsepower with a displacement of around 540 cubic inches (8.8L). This engine provided sufficient power for harvesting various grain crops. The MF 70 utilized a conventional threshing system featuring a cylinder and concave to separate grain from the crop material. Grain tank capacity was around 140-160 bushels, and the unloading auger had a rate of approximately 40-50 bushels per minute. Header widths available ranged from 13 to 20 feet, accommodating different field sizes and crop types. Many MF 70s were equipped with a straw chopper or spreader to manage crop residue after harvesting. Cab features were relatively basic for the time, offering operator comfort and visibility. The MF 70 excelled at harvesting wheat, soybeans, and corn in a variety of conditions, thanks to its robust design and reliable performance.

Maintenance Tips

Concave Adjustment: Regularly check and adjust the concave clearance to ensure optimal 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 proper tension and wear. Loose belts can slip, reducing efficiency, while worn chains can break, causing downtime. Adjust or replace as needed.
Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Regularly clean the sieves and chaffers to remove debris and ensure efficient grain separation. A clogged cleaning system can lead to grain loss over the back of the combine.
Bearing Greasing: Grease all bearings regularly according to the lubrication schedule. Proper lubrication extends the life of bearings and prevents premature failure.
