Clayson 140 Parts Catalog

Ordering parts for an old Clayson 140 combine without a proper parts catalog is a gamble you lose more often than you win. You pull a bearing, match it by eye, get it home, and it’s the wrong taper. Or you order from a generic cross-reference and the part doesn’t fit because the OEM changed the casting at machine number 459001. That’s money and downtime you don’t get back. This Clayson 140 Parts Catalog is the original factory document Clayson N.V. printed in Belgium – 150 pages of exploded views, OEM part numbers, and the exact codes that tell you which revision fits your machine. No aftermarket guessing.

What This Parts Catalog Actually Covers

The table of contents runs from the header (A1 Maasbord – Pennenwiel) all the way through the electrical system (N1 Elektrische uitrusting) and tool kit (P1 Gereedschap). You get separate sections for the reel drive, grain tank, hydraulic system, steering, and the Ford and Perkins engine installations. Each drawing is keyed to a part number with a code column that tells you the machine serial range. For example, the sunshade support (Zonnescherm) lists part 331053 for machines 439001 to 439999, and 333031 for machines from 549001 onward. That’s the kind of specificity that keeps you from bolting on the wrong bracket.

Why OEM Part Numbers Matter

Aftermarket catalogs combine years into one line and call it “universal.” On a Clayson 140, the hydraulic cylinder for the variator changed five times across serial breaks. Page 95 (K6 Hefcilinders 330872 – 330897) shows the exact cylinder assembly for each range. Without the original Clayson parts catalog, you wouldn’t know that cylinder 330872 only fits up to machine 439999. You’d order one, find the mounting holes don’t line up, and lose a day. This document eliminates that.

150 Pages of Factory Exploded Views

150 pages of high-resolution part drawings. Each section has its own figure number and a description column in four languages (Dutch, English, French, German). The index at page 127 lets you look up any part number or assembly name quickly. Sections like D2 Versnellingsbak (transmission) and K1 Hydraulische uitrusting (hydraulic equipment) give you every seal, gear, and fitting. The binding is digital, so you can zoom in on the tiny part numbers without wearing out a paper fold.

The Clayson M89 Parts Catalog covers the next generation driveline.

Using the Catalog: Ordering the Right Parts for Your 140

Say you need the header drive belt. Locate section A1 Maasbord – Pennenwiel on page 72. Find the exploded view, locate the belt by figure number, and read the part number from the Description column. Check the code column (*) – if it shows a number like 300, look at the footnote at the bottom of the page. Code 300 covers machines 439001 to 439999. Code 451 covers machines from 549001 onward. Write down the exact part number and give it to your Clayson dealer. That’s it. No cross-referencing, no returns. That’s what a real factory catalog does.

Source Authenticity: Original Clayson Print

This is a direct scan of the 1971 Clayson N.V. publication, issue 496433. It replaces earlier issues 8059, 9049, 496348, 496361, and 496381. The title page lists the list price of 70 Belgian Francs and the printing date of 15 April 1971. The part numbers are the ones Clayson used on the assembly line. For background on how agricultural machine manufacturers standardize part numbering, see the Automotive Industry Overview and the separate Automotive Industry Overview article on supply-chain traceability. This catalog is the source of truth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this catalog include torque specs or repair procedures?

No. This is a parts catalog only – exploded views, part numbers, and machine serial breaks. For service procedures you need the separate Clayson 140 service manual.

How do I know which part number fits my machine serial number?

Each assembly page has a code column (*) with a number like 300, 451, etc. Footnotes at the bottom of the page list the machine serial range for each code. Match your machine number to the range and use the corresponding part number.

Is this a reprint or a copy?

This is a digital scan of an original 1971 Clayson factory publication. It is not a reprint or a third-party compilation. The pages are identical to the paper original.

Can I use this catalog to order parts for a Clayson 140 with a different engine?

The catalog covers both Ford 2704B and Perkins 6.354 installations. See sections L1-L4 for engine-specific parts. The gas throttle linkage and fuel tank are shown separately for each engine. Confirm your engine type against the drawings before ordering.
