Massey Ferguson 4245, 4255 2001 Parts Catalog

You’ve got an MF 4245 or 4255 sitting in the bay with a busted hydraulics line, and the customer wants it back tomorrow. You pull the aftermarket catalog and the part numbers don’t match, the illustration is vague, and you’re burning time cross-referencing three different sources. That’s the frustration I see every week. This Massey Ferguson 4245, 4255 2001 Parts Catalog is the factory document – the same one dealer parts counters use. 1167 pages of exploded diagrams, exact part numbers, and group indexes that let you find what you need without the runaround. No aftermarket shortcuts, no reprints from a third party. This is the original OEM print from 2001.

SECTION TWO: Illustrations with References – Seeing the Part

Flipping to Section Two gives you the actual factory drawings – each part numbered and referenced to the group index. Need a clutch release bearing for a 4255? The illustration shows the exact assembly, and the reference list tells you the part number. You don’t guess, you don’t measure the old one and hope. The illustration for the transmission (Group 100–110) is detailed enough to separate the front axle hydraulics from the PTO-drive mechanism. Page references are built into the index; you can go straight to the right drawing without flipping through 200 pages.

Group Index Alpha – Find the Section Without the Alphabet Song

The Group Index Alpha organizes every system: ENGINE AND EQUIPMENT, CLUTCH, TRANSMISSION, REAR AXLE, LINKAGE, PTO−DRIVE MECHANISM, FRONT AXLE, HYDRAULICS, ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT & INSTRUMENT PANEL, SHEET METAL, TRACTOR CAB, FENDERS FOOTSTEPS AND PLATFORM, LIGHTING EQUIPMENT, RIMS AND WHEELS WEIGHTS, and STANDARD PARTS. That’s 15 major groups, each with its own page range. You don’t need to know the part number upfront – you find the system on the alpha index, turn to that group, and browse the illustrations. For a Massey Ferguson 4245, 4255 2001 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Specs, this is the quickest way to navigate.

Recommended Stocking Parts – What the Factory Says You Should Have

Page 4 of the manual lists the RECOMMENDED STOCKING PARTS. This isn’t a suggestion – it’s the parts Massey Ferguson determined you’ll need most often for routine service. Gaskets, seals, filters, belts, and common wear items for both the 4245 and 4255. If you’re setting up a shop inventory or just want to keep critical spares on hand, this section saves you months of trial and error. Combine that with the MARKETING KEY PARTS INDEX, which flags high-volume parts. That’s data you only get from the factory.

Numerical Part Number Index – Lookup Without Guesswork

Already have a part number from an old receipt or a casting code? The NUMERICAL PART NUMBER INDEX runs pages of sorted numbers. Find the number, get the group and page reference. This is the fastest way to confirm a part fits a 4245 versus a 4255. I’ve used similar indexes on John Deere and Case – the MF version here covers 1167 pages of numbers. If the number isn’t in here, it didn’t come from the factory for this model. For a Massey Ferguson 4245, 4255 2001 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM, this index alone is worth the price of entry.

Why This Beats Aftermarket Parts Catalogs

Aftermarket catalogs copy the illustrations but often skip the torque specs, the updated part numbers, or the multi-language references that tell you whether a part supersedes an older number. This manual is the original 2001 print from Massey Ferguson, with the English / French / German / Italian / Spanish headers you see on every page. It includes the CHANGES AFTER PREVIOUS PUBLICATION index – so you know if a part you’re looking up was revised. When I’m ordering parts for a 4255, I trust this document because it came from the same engineers who built the tractor. You want a Massey-ferguson MF300 Parts Catalog – 607 Pages – Factory OEM for a different machine? That’s a separate manual, but the same factory standard applies.

The Automotive Industry Overview tells you why OEM documentation matters – because one wrong part can cost you a whole weekend. I see it happen. Don’t let that be you.

FAQ

Can I use this parts catalog to find repair procedures like torque specs or adjustment values?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It gives you part numbers, exploded views, and ordering information. For torque specs you need the factory service manual. But if you already have the service manual, this catalog lets you order the exact gasket or seal without guessing.

Does it cover both the 4245 and 4255?

Yes. Both models are listed on the cover and throughout the group index. The illustrations and part numbers apply to both unless noted.
