Massey Ferguson 8170, 8160 Parts Catalog

You order a gasket set for a Massey Ferguson 8170, 8160 Parts Catalog and get a box of wrong parts. That happens when you rely on a third-party list that pulls numbers from a forum. This factory OEM catalog kills that problem. Every fastener, every seal, every bracket is listed with the correct MF part number. 547 pages of exploded diagrams and index references. If you are rebuilding the engine on a 8170 or 8160, you need this on the bench before you open a single socket.

Engine Disassembly: What the Parts Catalog Covers

Section 010-0005 opens the engine. From there, you get the cylinder block (010-0025), cylinder block equipment (010-0030), timing gear housing (010-0035), and flywheel housing (010-0040). The Crankshaft, Pistons And Connecting Rods section (010-0045) gives you the exact part numbers for the crankshaft, piston rings, and rod bearings. If you need a new camshaft, the Valve Mechanism And Camshaft section (010-0050) shows the cam, lifters, and timing gears. This is not a repair manual—it is a parts identification guide. You use it alongside the service manual to order the right components. The Massey Ferguson 8170 Service Manual – 548-Page Factory Repair Guide pairs with this catalog to give you torque specs and procedures.

Crankshaft and Connecting Rods: Page 010-0045

When a crankshaft journal goes out of round, you need the correct undersized bearings. This catalog lists every standard and oversize option. The Valve train components are in the same section. You will find the intake and exhaust valves, valve springs, keepers, and seals. The Camshaft is listed with its gear and key. Do not trust a generic aftermarket catalog that guesses the part number. This OEM document came from the Massey Ferguson factory. The part numbers match the stamped numbers on the casting. If you are chasing a hydraulic issue or a coolant leak, the Lubricating Oil Pump (010-0075) and Water Pump (010-0090) are fully detailed with gaskets and seals. Every fluid circuit is covered.

Fuel System: From Injection Pump to Fuel Filter

The injection pump (010-0095), feed pump (010-0105), and injectors (010-0115) are all broken down by component. The fuel system includes the tank attachments (010-0190), filters (010-0215), and pipes with thermostart (010-0210). If your 8160 has the additional fuel tank option, the brackets and guards are listed with serial number breaks (up to H091014 and from H091015). That is the kind of accuracy you need when ordering a fuel line. The Air Filter sections (010-0220 through 010-0235) separate the 8160 and 8170 configurations. The 8170 uses a dual-element dry filter; the 8160 with 200 HP PTO has a specific housing. Mixing them up means a loose fit and dirt ingestion. The catalog shows the difference clearly.

Why 547 Pages Matter for Your Tractor

547 pages lets you trace every system from the alternator (010-0010) to the exhaust system (010-0240). The Engine section alone covers the cylinder head, head cover, thermostat, oil sump, oil cooler, drive shaft, belt tensioner, and repair kits. Each page has an exploded view with callouts. The Cylinder block section includes the freeze plugs, dowel pins, and main bearing caps. The Valve mechanism section shows the rocker arm assembly, push rods, and camshaft gear. You do not guess the part number—you read the diagram and match it to the MF part number. That matters when the local dealer is 30 miles away and you need to order online.

Verify Your Part Numbers Before Ordering

Aftermarket catalogs often combine multiple models into one page. This catalog keeps the 8160 and 8170 separate. The Cooling System sections (010-0160 to 010-0180) show the air conditioner compressor brackets by serial number range. The Cab Heating System (010-0185) is engine-specific. If you bypass this step, you might get a heater hose that is 2 inches too short. The Massey Ferguson 8170 Parts Catalog – 547-Page Factory OEM Parts List is the same document. For a different model, check the Massey-ferguson MF300 Parts Catalog – 607 Pages – Factory OEM.
