Massey Ferguson 760 Combine Parts

Jump to Parts

The Massey Ferguson 760 combine, produced from the late 1970s into the 1980s, was a popular choice for farmers seeking a reliable and efficient harvesting solution. Powered by a robust diesel engine offering around 170 horsepower, the MF 760 accommodated header widths up to 20 feet, enabling substantial field coverage. This conventional combine gained favor for its simple design and ability to handle a variety of crops.

The Massey Ferguson 760 combine was introduced in the late 1970s as part of the 750/760 series, offering a step up in capacity and performance compared to previous models. The 760 was typically powered by a Perkins 6-cylinder diesel engine, producing approximately 170 horsepower with a displacement around 354 cubic inches (5.8L). It employed a conventional threshing system, utilizing a cylinder and concave setup to separate grain from the crop material. Grain tank capacity was roughly 150 bushels, and unloading auger speeds were in the range of 30-40 bushels per minute. Header widths available ranged from 13 to 20 feet, providing flexibility for different field sizes and crop types. Chopper and spreader options were available to manage residue. Cab features varied, but generally offered basic controls and visibility for the operator. The Massey Ferguson 760 was particularly well-suited for harvesting wheat, soybeans, and corn, due to its ability to handle varying crop conditions and maintain consistent threshing performance. While not as technologically advanced as later rotary models, its simplicity and reliability made it a workhorse on many farms.
