Massey Ferguson 6235, 6245, 6255 2000 Parts Catalog

If you have ever stood in front of a tractor with a busted hydraulic line and a pile of bolts that might be the right thread pitch, you know the waste. An hour of daylight gone because the part number on the bin tag didn’t match the housing. That is why this Massey Ferguson 6235, 6245, 6255 2000 Parts Catalog sits on my bench. It is the same binder the dealer parts counter uses – 852 pages of factory exploded drawings and original part numbers. No reprints, no third-party transcription errors. You dial the part number from the book, you order it, you bolt it on.

I have been torquing fasteners since before most of you were born, and the one thing that kills a job is a wrong part. This catalog kills that problem. It covers the 6235, 6245, and 6255 models with the same set of drawings and reference lists. The paper is heavy, the indexing is aggressive, and the page numbers run from A1 through whatever the last section is. I keep a copy on the shelf right next to the service manual.

Engine and Equipment: Where the Real Work Starts

Section labeled ENGINE AND EQUIPMENT starts the parts breakdown. You get the block, head, fuel system, cooling – all drawn with reference numbers that lead to the part number in the reference list. Page 3 shows you exactly how to read the columns: column C for the part number, column F for quantity, and an asterisk in column B when the part has changed since last print. If you need a cylinder head gasket for a 6245, you flip to that group, find the illustration, grab the number, and order. No cross-referencing aftermarket catalogs that guess the supersession.

The manual also includes a RECOMMENDED STOCKING PARTS list – items that the factory says you should keep on hand. If you run a shop that works on these tractors, that list alone saves you from emergency shipping charges on a Friday afternoon.

What This Parts Catalog Actually Covers

The GROUP INDEX at the front organizes everything into functional assemblies. Here is what you get:

• CLUTCH – pressure plate, disc, release bearing, pilot bearing
• TRANSMISSION – main shaft, countershaft, shift forks, synchro assemblies
• REAR AXLE – differential, crownwheel, pinion, axle shafts
• LINKAGE – three-point hitch arms, top link, lift rods
• PTO-DRIVE MECHANISM – drive shaft, clutch pack, housing
• FRONT AXLE – steering knuckles, kingpins, hubs
• HYDRAULIC – pump, control valve, lift cylinder, hoses
• ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT – alternator, starter, switches, harness
• ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT – control modules, sensors, display
• SHEET METAL – hood, fenders, grille
• CAB – glass, seals, interior trim, HVAC parts
• LIGHTING EQUIPMENT – headlights, taillights, work lights
• RIMS AND WHEELS – cast centers, rims, lug nuts
• REPAIR KITS – seal kits, gasket sets, bearing packs
• ACCESSORIES – drawbars, weight brackets, PTO shafts

Every one of those sections has its own index. You do not thumb through 800 pages blind.

Using the Numerical Index to Find Parts

Pop open the NUMERICAL INDEX in the back. If you have a part number already – say from a service bulletin or a sticker on the old part – you look it up there and it points you to the specific illustration page and reference line. That is how you verify you have the right piece before you pull the trigger on a $300 hydraulic pump. The ALPHABETICAL INDEX works the same way but by part description. Both indexes are in the first few pages of the catalog, page 1 through 3 are the general information and symbol legend, so you know what every symbol and column means. I had a helper once try to order a bolt using the wrong column quantity – this book would have stopped that if he had read page 3.

7 Major Systems Documented

The catalog breaks down into at least seven main drivetrain and chassis systems that I count from the TOC: Engine, Clutch, Transmission, Rear Axle, Front Axle, Hydraulic, and PTO. Each system gets its own set of drawings with reference numbers. The parts are keyed to a five-language description table – English, French, German, Italian, Spanish – so if you are working with a multilingual crew or buying parts from a dealer across the border, the description is unambiguous.

For the transmission alone, you get the main housing, all gears, bearings, synchro assemblies, shift rails, and the top cover. If you are rebuilding a 6255 transmission, you can lay out every seal and snap ring from the illustration before you crack the case. That is the difference between a two-day job and a week of waiting for one missed part.

Why This Factory Catalog Beats Aftermarket

Aftermarket parts catalogs try to consolidate multiple brands into one book, but they drop supersessions or mix up thread pitches. This is the original factory parts catalog from Massey Ferguson printed in 2000. It carries the exact part numbers that came on the tractor. The drawing on page 2 of the contents shows how the part number identification works: bold numbers are recommended stocking parts, italic numbers are key marketing parts. That distinction matters when you are deciding what to stock vs what to order on demand.

I have seen aftermarket catalogs list a bolt as “similar to original” – that gets you a seized thread. Factory catalog gives you the original Massey Ferguson part number, the correct grade, and the exact quantity. You can trust the drawing because it was made from the actual assembly.

Automotive Industry Overview also touches on standards that OEM manuals uphold.

Does this catalog include torque specs?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It lists part numbers, quantities, and exploded views. You need the service manual for torque values and procedures.

Can I order parts directly from this book?

Yes. Every illustrated part has a Massey Ferguson part number. Give that number to any MF dealer or parts supplier. The catalog includes supersession indicators (asterisks) so you know if the part has been updated.

What language is the content in?

Headers and group names are in English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. The part descriptions in the reference lists appear in all five languages. Part numbers are numeric and universal.

Does this cover the 6235, 6245, and 6255 models with different options?

Yes. The catalog covers all three models in a single volume. Drawings show the common assemblies but also include callouts for model-specific variations. The group index differentiates where needed. For example, the transmission section lists different ratios and shaft configurations for the 6235 vs the 6255.

You can waste a Saturday trying to match a used part by eyeball or you can open this factory catalog, find the drawing, pull the number, and order the correct piece on Monday morning. That is time and money you keep. Access the Factory Manual from AutoRepairManuals now and stop guessing at parts.
