Massey Ferguson 390E 2000 Parts Catalog – What You Get

If you are ordering parts for a Massey Ferguson 390E 2000 Parts Catalog and the aftermarket catalog gives you a number that doesn’t match what you pulled off, you are not alone. I have seen guys waste two hours chasing a hydraulic fitting because a third-party reprint swapped a dash number. This factory OEM PDF is the real deal – 446 pages, original Massey Ferguson print, dated 2000. It covers the 390E agricultural tractor the way it left the assembly line.

Engine Group (Section 10): What You Get

The Engine section – page 10 in the group index – breaks down every component from the block to the front cover. You get the part numbers for the rear housing (carter arrière), including the M12 x 35/30 12-point bolts and the radial bearings. The exploded diagrams show exactly how each piece fits. I have seen backyard mechanics order the wrong oil pan gasket because the aftermarket catalog omitted the model year split. This 2000 edition matches the late-production 390E. No guessing.

Transmission & Rear Axle: Two Sections, One Accurate Parts List

Section 25 covers the Transmission – gears, shafts, shift forks. Section 30 handles the Rear Axle – differential, planetaries, bearings. Both sections use the same numbering system: the part number is listed next to the description, and you get the quantity per assembly. For example, the front axle and steering section (60) includes tie rod ends and steering cylinders. If you need a hydraulic line for the linkage, section 70 gives you the exact hose assembly number. These are not generic cross-references – they are Massey Ferguson’s own numbers.

Alpha Index & Numerical Index: Fast Part Lookup

The manual includes three indexes: Group Index, Alpha Index, and Numerical Index. The Alpha Index lists parts by name (e.g., “Engine – Piston” leads to group 10). The Numerical Index lists every part number in ascending order. I use the Numerical Index when I have an old part in my hand – I find the number, then turn to the group section to see the diagram and verify fitment. This is faster than scrolling through a digital parts book.

3 Reasons to Choose OEM Documentation Over Aftermarket Reprints

First, the part numbers are verified against Massey’s production records. Second, the illustration drawings are crisp, not degraded copies from a third-generation photocopy. Third, the binding structure follows the factory group layout – you can talk to a dealer parts counter and both of you are looking at the same reference. The aftermarket reprints I have seen omit the standard parts section (180) and the stocking recommendations. This PDF includes everything from the original binder.

Hydraulic & Sheet Metal Sections – Not Just Driveline

Section 70 is Hydraulics & Linkage – covers the three-point hitch, control valves, and cylinder seals. Section 100 is Sheet Metal – hood panels, grille, fenders. If you are rebuilding a wrecked 390E, you need these sections to order the correct sheet metal brackets. The lighting equipment section (120) lists bulbs and housings. Accessories Mechanical (150) and Hydraulic (160) cover PTO kits and auxiliary hydraulics. These sections are often missing in budget catalogs.

Source Validity: This Is a Factory OEM Scan

I have been burned by aftermarket manuals that renumber parts to avoid copyright. This PDF is a direct scan of the original Massey Ferguson document – you can see the footer with P06156 and the date 10/00. The publisher is AutoRepairManuals, the largest collection of OEM shop manuals in North America. They do not transcribe or re‑key data. Every page is an image of the factory page.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Parts Catalog

Is this a reprint or a copy?

No. This is a direct scan of the original factory document. Not a third‑party transcription.

Does it include torque specs?

It is a parts catalog, not a service manual. Torque values are not included in parts catalogs. However, the part numbers for bolts and fasteners are listed with their specifications such as length and thread size, so you can order the correct fastener. For assembly torque, you need the service manual.

How do I find a part number quickly?

Use the Numerical Index. Each part number is listed alphabetically by number. If you have the old part, look it up there. Then cross‑reference to the group section for the exploded diagram.

What years does this cover?

This is the 2000 edition for the Massey Ferguson 390E. It supersedes earlier editions. Check your tractor’s serial number to confirm compatibility.
