Massey Ferguson 9240 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM Specs for Your Tractor

I’ve been twisting wrenches for 28 years. I’ve seen tractors parked for a week because somebody ordered the wrong cylinder liner kit for a Massey Ferguson 9240 Parts Catalog – they used a third-party parts list that didn’t catch the engine serial number split. This catalog stops that. It’s 448 pages of OEM part numbers, production breaks, and interchange notes. Nothing aftermarket. No reprints. Factory original.

You need to know exactly what part goes where, and this gives you the breakdown. The cylinder block alone – that’s page 3 in the PDF – lists 31 individual components with dimensions and supersession notes. Check the plugs: there are 1-1/8″ OD, 13/16″ OD, and even a 58.06 mm plug. That’s the kind of detail that keeps you from chasing wrong parts all day.

Cylinder Block Breakdown: Part Numbers and Interchange Notes

Page 3 covers the cylinder block assembly for the MF 9240. You get part numbers like 71369876 for the block itself, then plugs, bushings, caps, bolts – each with a reference to the correct size or oversize. Look at item 9: a plug with 1.386″ OD. Item 7: a bushing marked STANDARD and an X-row bushing listed as OVERSIZE. If you’re rebuilding, you’ll see shim thicknesses: 0.25 mm, 0.38 mm, 0.50 mm. This is not a generic diagram. It’s the same exploded view the dealer used.

Engine Serial Number Splits: 6CT vs 6CTA 8.3

That engine serial number split is critical. The catalog shows two different engine part numbers: 72505337 for engine 6CT 8.3 up to serial or engine number 01-1997, and 72513974 for engine 6CTA8.3 from serial or engine number 01-1997. Miss that split and you’ll order a long block that won’t bolt to your hydraulics. This catalog has it written right there on page 3, plain as day. No guessing.

Factory Torque Specs? Check the Service Manual

Let me be clear – this is a parts catalog, not a service manual. If you need torque values, you want the factory service manual for the Massey Ferguson 9240. What this catalog gives you is the part number, quantity, and any notes like “Replace and repair. Old not interchangeable with new 72512585.” That footnote on page 3? It tells you that items 15 through 24 are included in kit 72512586. That saves you from ordering 10 separate plugs when you can buy the whole kit.

Identifying Correct Plug Sizes: SAE and Metric

Ever try to thread a metric plug into an SAE hole? This catalog prevents that. Item 3: plug 1-1/8″ OD. Item 4: plug 13/16″ OD. Item 6: plug 58.06 mm OD. Mixed threads, mixed dimensions – all documented. If you’re replacing freeze plugs or core plugs, you need the exact size. This catalog gives you the OD and the part number. No measuring twice and still ordering wrong.

7 Key Sections That Cover Every Assembly

While the PDF bookmarks aren’t listed, the catalog is arranged by component groups: engine, transmission, hydraulics, electrical, etc. The cylinder block section alone references to page 010-0025 for the liner kit assembly. That’s how OEM parts catalogs work – cross-references to other pages for sub-assemblies. You follow the numbers and you get exactly what the factory intended. If you’ve used a reprint catalog that has blurry illustrations or missing page numbers, you’ll appreciate the clarity in this factory scan.

FAQ – Two Questions That Come Up

Does this manual include torque specs?

No. This is a parts catalog. Torque values are in the factory service manual.

How do I know if my engine is 6CT or 6CTA?

Look at the serial number on the engine data plate. If it’s up to engine number 01-1997, it’s a 6CT 8.3. If the serial number is 01-1997 or later, it’s a 6CTA8.3. The catalog shows both part numbers on page 3. If you can’t find the serial number, pull the valve cover – the 6CTA has a different injection pump mounting. But the factory catalog is your best bet; it lists the exact part number for each.
