Massey Ferguson 7245 Combine Parts

7245 parts and accessories

The Massey Ferguson 7245 combine, a popular choice among farmers, was manufactured in the late 1990s and early 2000s. It featured a robust engine delivering reliable horsepower, header widths suitable for various field sizes, and a conventional threshing system. Its dependability and ease of maintenance made it a workhorse for grain harvesting.

The Massey Ferguson 7245 was produced from approximately 1997 to the early 2000s, filling a crucial need for a mid-sized, dependable combine. It typically featured a Sisu Diesel engine, often around 220-240 HP with a displacement of roughly 7.4 liters. The 7245 employed a conventional threshing system with a large diameter cylinder and straw walkers for efficient grain separation. Grain tank capacity was approximately 215 bushels, with an unloading auger capable of emptying the tank at a rate of around 2.5 bushels per second (150 bu/min). Available header widths ranged from 20 to 30 feet. Options for residue management included a chopper and spreader to evenly distribute straw back onto the field. The cab offered improved operator comfort compared to earlier models, featuring air conditioning and improved controls. The 7245 excels at harvesting wheat, soybeans, and corn in various field conditions.

Maintenance Tips

Concave Adjustment: Regularly check and adjust the concave clearance according to the crop being harvested to optimize threshing performance and minimize grain damage.
Belt and Chain Tension: Inspect and maintain proper tension on all belts and chains to prevent slippage and premature wear. Refer to the operator's manual for specific tensioning procedures.
Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Clean the sieves and chaffer screens regularly to ensure efficient grain separation and minimize losses. Use compressed air and brushes to remove debris.
Bearing Greasing: Lubricate all grease fittings according to the recommended schedule in the operator's manual. Proper greasing prevents bearing failure and extends the life of critical components.
