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.
