Geringhoff MS 400, MS 500, MS 600, MS 800, MS 900 2008 Parts Catalog

If you’ve ever ordered a part for a Geringhoff MS 400, MS 500, MS 600, MS 800, MS 900 2008 Parts Catalog header and ended up with the wrong bolt, wrong bearing, or something that doesn’t even belong on the machine, you know the cost of guessing. This Parts Catalog – 456 pages of factory-coded part numbers – is the only way to get the right piece the first time. No aftermarket rehash, no translation errors. This is the actual document Geringhoff shipped in 2008.

Any shop that works on corn headers knows the waste that comes from misordered parts. A wrong sprocket or knife section can idle a combine for half a day. That’s billable time you never get back.

Geringhoff built these machines with a coded designation system explained on page 3 of the catalog. You get the code, you get the row width, number of rows, and drive type. Page 4 shows the row width in inches, cm, and mm – including special models.

Get the right part the first time.

How the Geringhoff Code System Works

Every part in this catalog is identified by a code rather than a full text description. Page 3 explains the code structure: for example, “MS 4 75” means a Mais Star header, 4 rows, 75 cm row spacing. Letters like F, S, L, B indicate folding, narrow frame, wide frame, or double-sided drive. The multilingual instructions (English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Russian) walk you through reading these codes. This system eliminates ambiguity when ordering parts for different row configurations.

What Machines Does This Catalog Cover?

Primary models: MS 400, MS 500, MS 600, MS 800, MS 900. The catalog also lists MS 1200B, MS 1800B, MS 600F, MS 800F, and MS 1200FB on the cover page. Each model has its own set of sections – look for numbers like 51/401, 52/001, 53/004, all the way to 68/510. The index at the back ties every part number back to these section numbers.

Trust the Factory Print

Aftermarket parts catalogs often re-use the same drawings but swap part numbers to push generic stock. This Geringhoff catalog is an original OEM factory print from 2008. You see the exact part numbers Geringhoff engineers assigned. If you need a specific fastener, check the DIN table on page 3 – it cross-references standard hardware. Don’t trust a third-party reprint for critical wear items like stripping plates or gathering chains.

Using Section Numbers for Fast Parts Lookup

Each group of parts is filed under a six-digit section number. For example, 54/170 covers drive positioning for specific combine models (Claas, John Deere, New Holland, etc.). The parts catalog includes all the common sections: 51 (frame), 52 (gathering), 53 (snapping rolls), 54 (drive), 55 (chopper), 56 (cross auger), 60 (hydraulics), and more. Each section contains an exploded view with item numbers and quantities per machine. If you know the section number, you can bypass the entire index.

3 Reasons Aftermarket Copies Fail

First, they re-photograph faded originals, losing legibility on small part numbers. Second, they omit the code explanation pages, leaving you to guess what “ATP 62” means. Third, they don’t include the multilingual DIN table, so you can’t cross-reference a standard bolt when the factory number is discontinued. This catalog has all of that – in the original layout.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this cover the MS 1200B models?

The catalog includes MS 1200B and MS 1800B as listed on the cover page. Primary part groups are shared with MS 400-900; check the index for specific sections.

Can I use this to find torque specs?

This is a parts catalog, not a repair manual. It does not contain torque values. It lists part numbers, quantities, and codes. For assembly torque, you need a service manual.

How accurate are the part numbers?

The part numbers printed in this catalog are the exact numbers Geringhoff used in 2008 production. They come from the factory database. However, after 2008, Geringhoff may have updated or superseded some parts. The catalog includes a DIN table (page 3) and code system (page 4) to help you translate the coded designations. If you are ordering for a 2008 or older header, these numbers are correct. For newer headers, contact Geringhoff directly with your serial number.

Is the catalog in English?

Yes, English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, and Russian.
