Massey Ferguson 8240, 8240 XTRA Parts Catalog

You’ve got a 8240 or 8240 XTRA sitting in the bay with a blown head gasket, or maybe the water pump is weeping. Without a factory parts catalog you’re chasing ghosts—cross-referencing worn-out microfiche, guessing at supersessions, hoping the aftermarket list you found online has the right alternator bracket. I’ve been there. That waste of time costs money. This Massey Ferguson 8240, 8240 XTRA Parts Catalog is the factory document, scanned from the original binder, 698 pages of exploded views with part numbers tied to specific serial number breaks. You don’t guess, you match what’s on the tractor.

Engine And Equipment: 57 Pages of Part Numbers

Open the TOC and the first section—Engine And Equipment—runs 57 pages from page 010-0005 to 010-0270. That covers the alternator bracket (up to serial K110016, then from K110017), the starter (Magneti Marelli up to K073010, ISKRA after K073011), and the Cylinder block itself. You need the timing gear housing? There are separate parts pages for the 8240 and the 8240 XTRA. Same for the water pump—two different exploded views, one per model. The Engine gasket sets page shows every gasket, o-ring, seal, and crush washer you need for a rebuild. That kind of specificity is why you pay for a factory catalog, not a third-party compilation that lumps parts together. Period.

Serial Number Splits: Why They Matter

This catalog breaks every major component by serial number range. Look at the lubricating oil pump: up to engine number J7890 versus from J7891. The belt tensioner changes at K18108 vs K18109. If you order the wrong pump because you ignored the split, you’re losing a day waiting for the return. The factory knew production changes down to the fastener. Aftermarket catalogs don’t track that—they give you one table that covers everything, and it’s wrong half the time. You want the right part the first time? You need the OEM split data, not a guess.

What’s Inside the Engine Section?

Under Engine And Equipment you get every subsystem: Cylinder block assembly, crankshaft with pistons and connecting rods, valve mechanism and camshaft, Cylinder head, head cover, thermostat, lubricating oil sump and cooler/filter, water pump, fuel injection equipment (diesel) for both models with separate pages for up to J4765 and from J4766, low pressure fuel system, feed pump, stop magnet, air induction and exhaust, turbocharger pipes, cold starting device, and belt tensioner. Each page has a clean exploded diagram with numbered callouts and a corresponding parts list. Need to identify the heater block element? There are three heater block pages—up to L155012, from L155013, and a generic one. That level of detail is what keeps the job moving.

3 Reasons to Choose OEM Documentation

First, the part numbers are verified against the factory database. Aftermarket catalogs renumber parts or combine them into “universal” items that don’t fit. Second, the exploded views show orientation and stacking order—critical for things like the Cylinder head bolt sequence or the timing gear housing alignment. Third, the serial number splits eliminate the “I think this is it” moment. If you’ve ever installed a water pump that had the wrong outlet angle because the catalog didn’t differentiate between the 8240 and 8240 XTRA, you know the cost. OEM fixes that.

Does This Parts Catalog Cover the Fuel System?

It covers the low-pressure fuel system (tank, lines, filters) and the high-pressure injection equipment for both models. You’ll find the fuel injection pump, injectors, and delivery pipes on pages 010-0110 through 010-0125, again split by serial. The feed pump and stop magnet are listed separately for the 8240 XTRA. If you’re rebuilding a pump or replacing injectors, this catalog gives you the genuine part number you need to order from your dealer or cross-check with aftermarket equivalents. Don’t rely on generic fuel system diagrams—the Massey Ferguson engineers changed fittings and brackets multiple times during production.

Source Validity: OEM Print, Not a Scan of a Copy

The file you’re looking at is a direct scan of the factory-issued parts catalog. No reprints, no third-party compilations. The Massey Ferguson logo and part number prefixes (like 1637376 on every page) confirm authenticity. This is the same book a dealership parts counter would pull off the shelf. You can trust the exploded views because they were drawn from the actual production drawings. When you see a callout for “Bolt, M10 x 1.5 x 35” next to the alternator bracket, that’s the spec the assembly line used. Compare that to any aftermarket PDF where somebody photoshopped a parts list from a different model—it happens. Don’t let it happen to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this parts catalog to order parts online?

Yes. Every part number in the catalog is the original MF number. You can enter it directly into any dealer’s online parts system or cross-reference it with aftermarket brands like A&I or CNH. The catalog also lists quantities per assembly, so you know if you need one bolt or six.

Does it include torque specs?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a repair manual. It shows exploded views and part numbers only. For torque values, get the Massey Ferguson 8240 Technical Manual – Factory OEM 699 Pages which has all the specs.

How do I find a part for my 8240 XTRA built after 2000?

The catalog contains many serial-number splits that cover post-2000 production. For example, the cooling system for air-conditioned installations breaks at 07-09-2000 and 08-09-2000. Check the serial number on your engine or frame, then locate the corresponding page in the TOC for that range.

What if my tractor has an engine swap?

If the engine serial doesn’t match the tractor serial, you’ll need to identify the engine number and use the appropriate pages. The catalog splits by engine number (e.g., K110016 vs K110017). Engine swaps are common on older 8240s, so always reference the engine plate, not the chassis.

If you’re tired of chasing wrong parts and second-guessing aftermarket lists, this is the reference that stops the guesswork. Access the Factory Manual and keep it on your shop tablet or print the pages you need. Every minute you save hunting part numbers goes straight to your bottom line.
