Massey Ferguson 7247 Parts Catalog

You’ve got a Massey Ferguson 7247 Parts Catalog in your hands – 753 pages of factory-sourced part numbers that will stop you from ordering the wrong bearing or fuse again. I’ve been wrenching for 28 years, and nothing burns my time like guessing a part number because someone used an aftermarket cross-reference. This catalog is the real deal: a scan of the original OEM document, not a reprint of some third-party compiled list. If you work on combines, especially the MF 7247, you need this on your bench or tablet.

Every parts list in this catalog starts with a specific combine serial number (3906251). That means the part numbers you see – like LA10857790 for a 12V 5W bulb or LA1930748 for an air filter element – are the exact numbers Massey Ferguson assigned. You order that, it fits. End of story. The dealer stocking list at the front of the catalog even tells you how many of each part the factory expected a dealer to keep on hand. That’s the level of detail you get from an OEM source.

Parts Breakdown: What’s Inside the 753 Pages

Flip open the catalog and you’ll find a structured parts breakdown covering the entire combine: from the cab electrical system (bulb types, fuse ratings like 3A, 7.5A, 10A, 15A, 20A, 25A, 30A, 50A) to the drivetrain (bearing assemblies, pulleys, knuckles, support brackets). The catalog lists every component with a Massey Ferguson part number, a quantity per assemble, and a description. For example, item 17 – gas strut part number LA240000018 – and item 23 – pulley LA300010534. No ambiguity, no “compatible with” notes. You find the part number, you order it.

One section that saves real time is the electrical system page. You get bulbs like 12V 21W (LA14148190) and 12V 10W (LA14149590) – the exact specs for taillights or warning lamps. Switches (LA313573000, LA320571200), sensors (LA321285500, LA321562900), thermostat (LA320582450). If you’re chasing an intermittent fault because someone put a 15A fuse where a 7.5A belongs, the catalog won’t let you make that mistake.

Why Factory OEM Documentation Beats Aftermarket

Aftermarket parts catalogs often group parts by “universal” fitment or skip serial number splits. This Massey Ferguson 7247 Parts Catalog is a direct scan of the original MF publication. The page headers match the factory numbering system (1-WA04-001-A). The dealer stocking list shows the actual quantity that MF recommended for dealership inventory – that tells you which parts are high-turnover and which are special-order. You want that when you’re budgeting a rebuild or restoring a combine that’s been sitting in a shed.

If you’ve ever ordered a repair part from a generic catalog only to find the bolt holes don’t line up, you know why this matters. The data here is verified by the manufacturer. I don’t care if the aftermarket book says “fits Massey Ferguson 7247” – if the part number isn’t LA-prefixed and on this list, I’m not trusting it. This is the same logic I use when I torque cylinder heads: follow the spec from the factory, not the internet forum.

Using This Catalog with Your Repair Manual

Pair this parts catalog with a factory service manual for the 7247 and you have a complete rebuild package. The parts catalog gives you the numbers; the service manual gives you the how-to. Together they eliminate guesswork. When you need a bearing for the feeder housing, look up the reference number (e.g., LA28996520 – Bear. 6205 2RS) and then check your service manual for the removal and installation procedure. No hunting through multiple sources.

Take a common job: replacing the air filter on the 7247. The catalog lists two elements: LA1930748 and LA1930788. The service manual tells you the housing bolt torque and the pre-cleaner orientation. With the parts catalog, you know exactly which filter element to order. That’s a 10-minute job turned into a 5-minute one because you didn’t drive to the dealer for the wrong part.

How to Identify the Correct Part Number

The catalog organizes parts by combine serial number and then by assembly groups. The part numbers follow a consistent prefix system – LA for most Massey Ferguson parts. If you have an old part in hand, you can cross-reference the description (e.g., “Bush” part LA312939360) and find the exact replacement. Some items, like knuckles (LA300015644, qty 7) or clamps (LA300129659, qty 4), show how many you need per combine. That prevents ordering one when you need a set.

One thing I like about this catalog: it lists the fuse amperage in the description (e.g., “Fuse 15a”). That’s critical when you’re replacing a blown fuse in the field. You don’t have to guess or look at the color code – the catalog tells you. The same goes for bulbs: “Bulb 12v 5w” or “Bulb 12v 21w”. No ambiguity.

Dealer Stocking List – A Hidden Asset

Near the front of the catalog you’ll find a dealer stocking list that shows the recommended inventory quantity for each part. If the dealer stocking list says 4 for a bearing assembly (LA28042320) and 2 for a bulb (LA14144190), you know those are high-failure items. Keep spares in your shop. That list alone can save you a trip to the parts counter during harvest season. It’s the kind of insight you only get from an OEM document that was originally used by dealerships.

FAQ

Does this catalog cover the engine components for the Massey Ferguson 7247?

Yes, engine parts such as air filter elements, bearings, pulleys, and sensors are listed. However, the catalog does not include engine overhaul gasket sets – those would be in a separate engine-specific catalog. For the items listed, part numbers are given for the specific 7247 combine (serial 3906251).

Can I use this to order parts for a different serial number?

No. This catalog is keyed to the specific combine serial number printed on the cover (3906251). Parts may differ for earlier or later production runs. Always verify your combine’s serial number before ordering.

What format is the manual delivered in?

PDF format, scanned from the original paper publication. Page numbers and part numbers are legible and searchable. You get the full 753 pages.

Is this the same as a service manual?

No. This is a parts catalog only. It provides part numbers, descriptions, and quantities – not repair procedures or torque specs. Use it alongside a separate service manual for complete repairs.
