Massey Ferguson 4260, 4270 2001 Parts Catalog

If you’ve ever ordered a part for a Massey Ferguson 4260 or 4270 tractor and ended up with the wrong piece because the aftermarket listing was off, you know the frustration. The Massey Ferguson 4260, 4270 2001 Parts Catalog is the factory document that eliminates that guesswork. 1179 pages of OEM part numbers, exploded diagrams, and group indexes. This is what the dealer uses.

1179 Pages of Parts Groupings

Flip to page 2 and you see the full group index in five languages: ENGINE AND EQUIPMENT, CLUTCH, TRANSMISSION, REAR AXLE, LINKAGE, PTO-DRIVE MECHANISM, FRONT AXLE, HYDRAULICS, ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT, SHEET METAL, TRACTOR CAB, FENDERS, LIGHTING, RIMS AND WHEELS, STANDARD PARTS. Every major system on the 4260 and 4270 is covered. Page 4 gives the complete table of contents, so you know where to go for the hydraulic pump seal or the PTO shaft bearing.

Each group contains exploded views with callouts to part numbers. No generic cross-references. These are the numbers stamped on the factory castings.

Alpha Index and Num Index: Two Ways to Find Parts

You get both an alphabetical index (ALPHA. INDEX) and a numerical index (NUM. INDEX). If you know the part name, use Alpha. If you have an old part number, Num gets you the new supersession. Every entry points to the exact group and illustration number. Saves you from flipping through 1179 pages blind.

Why OEM Documentation Beats Aftermarket Reprints

Aftermarket parts catalogs — the ones that cost half as much — often skip revision updates. A 1998 part number might be superseded three times by 2001. This catalog is the original factory release, so it has the correct current numbers. It also includes the RECOM. STOCK list, which tells you which parts dealers keep on the shelf. That list alone can save you a week of waiting.

Don’t trust reprints that blur diagrams or cut off page numbers. The PDF here is a clean scan of the official 2001 multi-language binder.

Group Index 10-115 vs 120-180: Understanding the Split

Two group indexes exist: GRP. INDEX 10 – 115 and GRP. INDEX 120 – 180. The first covers the main drivetrain, engine, hydraulics, cab, and sheet metal. The second picks up lighting, rims and wheels weights, and standard parts like bolts and seals. Knowing this split speeds up your search. For example, a head gasket falls in 10-115; a wheel bolt falls in 120-180.

For a deeper dive into the illustrations, see Massey Ferguson 4260 4270 Parts Catalog – Section: Section Two Illustrations Wit. That section includes full-page exploded diagrams for the rear axle and transmission.

Recommended Stock List: What the Factory Suggests

The RECOM. STOCK section is a dealer-level recommendation of parts you should keep on hand: filters, belts, seals, gaskets, and common hydraulic components. If you maintain a fleet of 4260s or 4270s, this list tells you what to order to minimize downtime. It’s not just a catalog; it’s a inventory planning tool.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this manual include repair procedures?

No, it is a parts catalog for ordering OEM replacement parts. Repair specs are in the service manual.

How do I find the correct part number for my 4260 hydraulic pump if I don’t know the old number?

Use the Alpha Index under “Hydraulic Pump” or look in the HYDRAULICS group. The group index (page 2) shows HYDRAULICS starting around page 100. Once you find the exploded diagram, identify the pump by its shape and mounting. The callout number next to the part gives the OEM part number. If you have the serial number of your tractor, cross-check with any notes in the catalog – some groups list serial number breaks for superseded parts. The Alpha Index also lists alternative names like “gear pump” or “pump assembly” so you can search multiple ways. If you still can’t find it, the Num Index lets you search by any number you see stamped on the pump housing.
