Massey Ferguson 8170 Parts Catalog – 547 Pages of Factory Part Numbers

I’ve seen too many guys order a part based on a worn-out number or a cross-reference list that’s off by one letter. Then the tractor sits another week while you wait for the right piece. That’s why you need the factory Massey Ferguson 8170 Parts Catalog. 547 pages of official Massey Ferguson part numbers, exploded views, and quantity listings. No aftermarket reprints. No guesswork.

Why You Need the Factory Parts Catalog for the 8170

Aftermarket interchange guides are fine for a ballpark, but they don’t tell you if the locknut changed thread pitch mid-production. This catalog does. It lists every nut, washer, gasket, and hose clip with the exact Massey Ferguson part number. If your 8170 has serial number 1637359, the engine section on page 010-0000 gives you the fan (3777244M1), the alternator (71370306), and even the turbo pressure transducer (72502305). One misread digit and you’re bolting in the wrong alternator bracket. That costs you an hour of labor and a return trip to the dealer.

Engine System Parts List: What You Get on Page 010-0000

Page 010-0000 covers the engine and equipment group for the MF 8170. It’s not just a list – it’s a numbered index with exploded diagrams. Each item has a part number, quantity, description, and serial number range. For example, item 4 is the engine itself, part number 3777760M91 (645 DSIE). Item 30 shows a nut that applies only up to engine serial G166015, and item 31 shows a different cover from serial G166016 onward. If you ignore those cut-in numbers, you’ll order a part that doesn’t fit. The catalog flags that for you.

5 Systems Covered in This Catalog

• Engine and engine equipment (starting page 010-0000)
• Fuel system components (including injectors and filtration)
• Transmission and driveline parts (clutch, PTO)
• Hydraulic system (pumps, hoses, cylinders)
• Electrical system (starter, alternator, sensors)

Every section uses the same format: exploded view, callouts, part numbers with quantities. You don’t have to hunt for cross-references. It’s all there.

How to Use the Parts Catalog for Repairs

Start with the serial number of your tractor. Match it to the serial ranges listed in the catalog footer notes. Then find the system you’re working on – engine, hydraulics, electrical. The catalog doesn’t give you repair steps, but it tells you exactly what parts you need before you pull a wrench. If you’re rebuilding the front cowl assembly, the page lists cowl (3777416M3), spacer (3778469M1), and hardware. Order those, then open the Massey Ferguson 8170 Service Manual for the torque sequence.

Watch Out for Aftermarket Interchange Lists

I’ve been a tech for 28 years. Third-party parts databases miss serial number breaks, supersessions, and variations like the M8x20 vs M8x55 socket screws on the engine gasket. This catalog has footnotes (like footnote [A] for turbo pressure transducer) that tell you exactly where a part applies. If you rely on a generic cross-reference, you’ll end up with a bolt that’s too long and cracks the cowl. Stick with the factory document. For context on why OEM documentation matters, check the Automotive Industry Overview – note that even production plants use factory spec sheets, not aftermarket lists.

FAQ

Does this catalog include torque specs or repair instructions?

No. This is a parts catalog only. It lists part numbers, quantities, and exploded diagrams. For torque values and assembly steps, get the factory service manual.

Can I use this to order parts online from a dealer or parts supplier?

Yes. That’s the whole point. Each part number is the exact Massey Ferguson OEM number. Give that number to your dealer, or use it to search online parts sites. But double-check the serial number range – the catalog includes cut-in and cut-out serials for many items. For example, the engine cover on the 8170 changed at serial G166016. If you give a dealer the part number without noting your serial, you might get the wrong cover. This catalog arms you with both the number and the applicability context. You can then order with confidence that you’re getting the right piece the first time. Also, because it’s a direct scan of the factory print, the numbers are legible and the diagrams are sharp. No blurry reprints.
