Massey Ferguson 7246 2005 Parts Catalog

You ever try ordering a part for a 7246 using an aftermarket parts list? Half the numbers are wrong, the diagrams look like they were photocopied from a wet newspaper, and you end up with a tie-rod for a Massey Ferguson 500. Waste of time and money. The genuine Massey Ferguson 7246 2005 Parts Catalog eliminates that. 787 pages of factory-sourced part numbers, exploded views, and reference lists. If you’re working on a 7246, this is the only parts book that matters.

What Makes a Genuine Massey Ferguson 7246 Parts Catalog Different?

Aftermarket catalogs copy data from who-knows-where, then strip out the symbols, the change indicators, and the safety notes. This catalog came from the factory. It has a Parts Book number, issue number, and date printed in the lower right corner of every illustrated page. The asterisk in Column B tells you if a part changed since last publication. That matters when you’re ordering a bolt that holds a housing together and the superseded number uses a different thread pitch.

787 Pages of Factory Part Numbers and Illustrations

Section One covers General Information, Symbols, a Group Index (alphabetical), Recommended Stocking Parts, and a Numeric Part Number Index. Section Two is where the real work gets done: Illustrations with References and Part Number Reference Lists. Each illustration has a reference number, and the part number list shows the quantity, description in three languages (English, French, German), and whether it’s a recommended stocking part or a marketing key part. The Parts Catalog even marks parts with an “X” in the quantity column when you need them “as required” — shims, washers, that sort of thing.

Understanding the Part Number Reference List

Column A is the illustration reference. Column B shows an asterisk if the part changed since the last edition. Column C is the part number. Column D tells you if the item is a component of an assembly, and gives the assembly part number. Column E has comments (refer to the symbol table). Column F is quantity — a number or an “X” for as-needed. Columns G, H, and J give the description in English, French, and German. If you’re ordering parts for a tractor that was sold in Quebec or Europe, that trilingual format saves translation headaches.

One critical detail: the Recommended Stocking Parts index includes a column reporting the quantity used for each part in the relevant fitting. That lets you stock the fast-moving items without guessing. The catalog also has a clear safety note: when ordering replacement parts that originally had safety decals, you must order and fit the decals too. That’s not a suggestion — it’s a liability issue.

Who Needs This Parts Catalog?

Farmers with a 7246 who do their own mechanical work need this. Agricultural mechanics rebuilding transmissions, hydraulic pumps, or front axles need the exact part numbers to order. Home-garage enthusiasts who bought a used 7246 and want to restore it will save days of cross-referencing. If you don’t have the factory OEM numbers, you’ll end up calling the dealer four times and still get the wrong part. This book eliminates that.

Source Authenticity: OEM vs. Aftermarket Catalogs

I’ve seen cheap reprints that blur the part numbers until they’re illegible. I’ve seen PDFs missing entire sections like the Numeric Part Number Index. This is the original factory print from 2005, scanned at resolution that keeps every asterisk and every line of the illustration table. The document itself says “3906032M1 (1) 03/05” on the first page. That’s MF’s own part number for the catalog. Aftermarket documentation? I trust it about as far as I can throw a combine header. Stick with the real thing.

For older models, the Massey-Ferguson MF500 1977 Parts Catalog – 517 Pages Factory OEM and Massey-ferguson MF 500 B 1973 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM are available.

Does this manual include torque specifications?

No, this is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It lists part numbers, quantities, and illustrations. You need the service manual for torque specs.

How do I interpret the part number reference list?

Each column has a specific function: Column A is the illustration reference number; B shows an asterisk if the part changed since last edition; C is the part number; D indicates if the item is a component of an assembly (with the assembly part number); E holds comments (see symbols and notes); F is quantity (a number or “X” for as required); G, H, J give the description in English, French, and German. The quantity shown is for the particular application illustrated. For recommended stocking parts, the index includes a column reporting the quantity used per fitting. Always check the safety note: if the original part had a safety decal, you must order and fit a new decal.
