Massey Ferguson 6160 1999 Parts Catalog

If you’ve ever bolted on a part that didn’t match the hole spacing, or ordered a fuel filter that was a quarter-inch too short, you know the drill. A parts catalog from the factory kills that guesswork. This Massey Ferguson 6160 1999 Parts Catalog runs 766 pages of OEM part numbers, exploded views, and filter cross-references for the whole tractor. No reprints, no aftermarket hacks. Just the original Massey Ferguson data from 1999.

Engine and Equipment: What the Catalog Actually Shows

The ENGINE section breaks down alternator, starter, oil filter, fuel filter, and air filter assemblies with individual part numbers. You get the factory callout for the Pre Cleaner Air unit and Seal KITS. Need to find the correct oil filter for a 1999 6160? The catalog lists it under the Oil FILTER subsection with the MF part number printed. No guessing by thread pitch.

Transmission and Rear Axle: Factory Part Breakdown

Transmission section covers the main gearbox and the Clutch assembly — the Strainer Filter is called out separately. Rear Axle parts are sectioned with seals, bearings, and shafts. The catalog uses the same group index numbering that the Massey Ferguson dealer uses. If you’re rebuilding a 6160 transmission, this is the book that tells you which thrust washer goes where.

Hydraulics and Steering: 17 Pages of Filter Data

The Hydrau/Steering section lists multiple Oil FILTER entries — standard, L.SENSING, and COOLER variants. Each one has a distinct part number. You won’t find that level of detail in a generic parts lookup. The catalog also covers the P.T.O. drive mechanism and the front axle linkage. Everything ties back to the 1999 model year spec.

7 Systems Covered

The table of contents spans ENGINE, CLUTCH, TRANSMISSION, REAR AXLE, LINKAGE, P.T.O., FRONT AXLE, Hydrau/Steering, LIGHTING, ELECTRONIC, SHEET METAL, CAB, PLATFORM, WHEELS, Repair KITS, and STANDARD parts. That’s 16 sections, but the main mechanical systems are covered in 7 major groups: Engine, Clutch, Transmission, Rear Axle, Front Axle, Hydraulics, and PTO. Each group lists every production part that went on the 6160 in 1999.

Does This Catalog Cover the Fuel System?

Yes. The Fuel FILTER subsection under ENGINE gives the factory part number and the corresponding illustration. The catalog also includes the Fuel system components under the same group. If you’re replacing a fuel line or pump, you’ll find the exact Massey Ferguson reference.

Source Validity: OEM vs Aftermarket

Aftermarket parts catalogs are often compiled from multiple sources and miss revisions. This one is a direct scan of the official MF publication 1637277M8, dated 03/99. The page numbering matches the factory binder. No third-party repackaging. For a 1999 Massey Ferguson 6160, you want the OEM book. Period.

FAQ

Is this catalog for the 6160 only, or does it cover other models?

This specific catalog covers the Massey Ferguson 6160 produced in 1999. It does not include the 6170 or earlier models. The part numbers are unique to the 6160 chassis.

Does it include torque specs?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It lists part numbers, quantities, and illustrations. For torque values, you need the factory Technical Manual.

Are the pages printable?

The PDF is full-resolution, 766 pages. You can print individual pages for the workbench. I recommend printing the filter cross-reference page and laminating it.

What format is the access?

PDF, scanned from the original printed catalog. Searchable text for part numbers. Works on any device.
