Massey Ferguson 820 Combine Parts

820 parts and accessories

The Massey Ferguson 820 combine, produced in the late 1970s and early 1980s, was a popular choice for farmers seeking a reliable and versatile grain harvesting solution. Equipped with engines up to 200 HP and available with header widths up to 20 feet, the MF 820 offered a conventional separator system known for its effective threshing capabilities. Its robust design and ease of maintenance made it a staple on many farms.

The Massey Ferguson 820 combine was introduced in the late 1970s as a workhorse for small to medium-sized farms. Production continued into the early 1980s. Powering the 820 was typically a Perkins diesel engine ranging from 160 to 200 horsepower, with displacements around 540 cubic inches (8.8 liters). The 820 utilized a conventional threshing system, featuring a 50-inch wide cylinder known for its aggressive threshing action. Grain tank capacity varied but generally held around 150-180 bushels, with an unloading auger capable of speeds around 50-60 bushels per minute. Header widths offered ranged from 13 to 20 feet, allowing for flexibility in different field conditions and crop types. While chopper/spreader options were available, many farmers opted for straw walkers. The cab was relatively basic for its time, offering improved visibility and operator comfort compared to open-station models. The Massey Ferguson 820 excelled at harvesting crops like wheat, soybeans, and corn, especially in conditions where a reliable and relatively simple machine was desired.

Maintenance Tips

Concave Adjustment: Regularly check and adjust the concave clearance to ensure optimal threshing without excessive grain damage. Refer to the operator's manual for recommended settings based on crop type and condition.
Belt and Chain Tension: Inspect all belts and chains for wear and proper tension. Loose belts or chains can lead to slippage, reduced performance, and premature wear. Tighten or replace as needed.
Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Clean the sieves and chaffer frequently to remove debris and ensure proper air separation. Clogged sieves can result in grain loss and reduced cleaning efficiency.
Bearing Greasing: Lubricate all grease fittings regularly with high-quality grease. Proper lubrication helps to prevent bearing failure and extends the life of critical components.
