Clayson M80 Parts Catalog

If you’re working on a Clayson M80 Parts Catalog combine and you need a part, you don’t have time to guess. The thing costs money and downtime. This is what Clayson put together in 1969 for machines with serial numbers 571001 to 885999. It’s 272 pages of factory part numbers, exploded views, and a code system that tells you exactly which part fits which machine range. That’s the difference between getting the job done and having a pile of wrong parts sitting on the bench.

272 Pages: Clayson M80 Parts Catalog Coverage

Every page in this catalog is dedicated to parts identification for the Clayson M80. You get exploded diagrams with reference numbers, the OEM part number, old reference numbers, quantity per assembly, and a code column that links each part to a specific machine serial number range. The catalog covers the entire combine – from the beater drum to the steering platform. Page 3 of the original document gives you explicit instructions on how to read the code numbers and footnotes. Miss that and you’ll order the wrong shaft or key. The parts letter dated 15 Oct 1971 (page 4) corrects earlier editions, so you know this copy includes updates.

Machine Number Ranges and the Code System

Clayson designed this catalog with a code system that splits parts by machine range. For example, the beater drum group shows code 5 for machines 571001 – 723999 and also for 711001 – 885999, but code 27 applies only to 794001 – 885999. The footnotes at the bottom of each page tell you which code matches your machine. If you ignore these codes, you might get a key (part 170028) that doesn’t fit your M80. That’s wasted time and a return trip to the dealer.

Skip this step and you will order the wrong part.

Ordering Parts: Three Details Your Supplier Needs

The catalog’s own instructions (see page 3) list exactly what you need to give your Clayson agent: machine type and serial number, the part number and quantity, and the shipping method. There is also a section at the front where you can record your machine’s data – type, engine number, header width, tire sizes, and any additional equipment. Fill that out before you start ordering. That way you aren’t calling the supplier three times because you forgot the serial number. This catalog is 272 pages of reference material that assumes you have your machine info ready.

Parts Letter Corrections: Stay Current with Factory Updates

Parts Letter 496468, dated 15 Oct 1971, is included in this catalog. It corrects earlier issues (9078) for the M80. The letter lists changes by page, figure, and description. If you are working from an old reprint without the corrections, you will be ordering parts that were superseded. Factory updates like these are why original OEM parts catalogs matter. A third-party scan might skip the letter altogether. Automotive Industry Overview standards for parts numbering are followed here – no guesswork.

Why Factory Parts Catalogs Beat Aftermarket Reprints

This catalog was printed by Clayson NV in Belgium with a print run of 20,000 copies in July 1969. The part numbers, code ranges, and exploded views come straight from the manufacturer. Aftermarket parts catalogs often omit the code column, skip the footnotes, or collapse multiple machine ranges into one figure. That leads to ordering the wrong part – and then the combine sits idle while you wait for the correct one. If you need a parts catalog for other Clayson models, check the Clayson M103 1988 Parts Catalog or the Clayson M89 Parts Catalog. For older machines, the Clayson 140 Parts Catalog covers similar ground. Automotive Industry Overview documentation confirms that OEM parts catalogs like this one are the gold standard for accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What engine models are covered?

The parts catalog covers the entire Clayson M80 combine, not specific engines.

How do I know which part code applies to my machine?

Look at the code column on each figure page. Next to each part number you will see a number (e.g., 5, 27). Then check the footnotes at the bottom of the page – they list the machine serial number ranges for each code. For example, code 5 covers machines 571001 to 723999 and also 711001 to 885999. Code 27 covers 794001 to 885999. If your machine serial number falls within the range, that part applies. If it doesn’t, you need a different part. Cross-reference with the Parts Letter corrections to ensure you have the latest codes. This system avoids ordering parts that physically do not fit your M80.

Does this catalog include part prices?

No, it is a parts identification catalog only. Prices would come from your Clayson dealer or current supplier.

Can I use this catalog for serial numbers outside the listed range?

The catalog explicitly states machine numbers 571001 to 885999. Outside that range, parts and codes may differ. You need the correct catalog for your serial number range to avoid mismatched parts.

This is the real thing – a full 272-page factory Parts Catalog for the Clayson M80. No reprints, no aftermarket cut corners. You get exploded diagrams, verified part numbers, and the code system that matches parts to your machine’s serial range. Order the wrong part once and you will understand why this catalog pays for itself. Access the Factory Manual now and keep your M80 running with parts that fit.
