Tractor body parts

[mick88]

Any of the tractor enthusiasts on here know of any suppliers who sell tractor body parts such as bonnets etc. for Massey Fergusons?
Are there any companies reproducing these type of parts?

Cheers, Mick.

I used to paint 4 or 5 old fergys every year when I worked for a massey dealer. We had a local fibaglass guy make a mould for the guards and used to buy about 15 sets a year off him for the local market. Never done a bonnet but repaired some quite bad ones. I can chase up the guy with the guard mould if you like but its probably 10 years since I seen a set

G'day Mick,
Have you tried a tractor forum at all? Other than second hand dealers, or possible collectors, I cant think where else you'd get body parts. They must be out there though.
There's a fellow near Yarrawonga who collects, however, I think he has mostly the really early larger type units, not so much Fergies.

Bare Co has an online catalogue and I think has many panels for Fergys and many other parts for many tractors.
They also sell a lot of universal stuff for hydraulics and seats etc.
Bare Co sells through it dealer network and their parts are normally available at every tractor dealer and tractor workshop.

Bare & Co used to have quite a good range of panels... Nearly all panels for the Ol Grey fergies... And most Massey panels...

That would be your best bet as they had the press dies for a lot of these...

PS What model Massey?

There must be a mob like Tillys, in your neck of the woods.

You could PM Sitec, he knows a bit about tractors.

I'm currently restoring my grandfathers 1961 Massey Ferguson 35 tractor and I'm ordering all my parts from Brett Eastman in Melbourne.

Tractor Spare Parts - Ford F Series Parts F250 F350 Australia (http://www.eastmanparts.com.au)

He supplies Bare-co & Sparex parts for Fergies. Rather than buying off his eBay store, I'd either phone or email him as he may be able to offer a discount on some items. It's definitely cheaper than going through a tractor dealer.

Bare-co products are very good quality although some engine rebuilders prefer using BEPCO liners & pistons but it may be only due to a more competitive price.

Sparex parts are now owned by AGCO who also own Massey Ferguson.

135 Petrol

Mechanical parts are no issue.
It's mainly bonnet and grille parts I am after.
A good tough old steel bonnet, but some people still manage to destroy them.
I looked through the BareCo site and they have a large array of panels, but unfortunately bonnets are no longer available.

Cheers, Mick.

I had a browse through this site and they have a lot of good gear.

Thanks, Mick.

Sparex do supply bonnets for a 135 but they may not be be cheap!

Most of the Sparex parts are sourced from UK.

The other option would be to find a good secondhand bonnet.

Stonyford are very approachable and may have what you need. I may be going there today if the rain lets up to get some parts for our Case IH tractor.

There is also Neil's parts: Neils Parts Australia (https://www.neils.com.au)

Hi,

Have a look here:

Body - Tractor Parts (https://www.agrilineproducts.com/parts/body.html?_=Massey_Ferguson__100_Series__135)

Most likely the UK source of parts for Oz resellers. Good prices, dunno about freight.

Thank you, I had a look at the Sparex site.
They do have the parts I need, no doubt dear enough, but at least they are available if I can't source any elsewhere.
One part that is missing on mine is the metal work under the steering column, known as the lower instrument dash panel.
I see it is available from Sparex

Cheers, Mick.

Another UK option is Vapormatic: Vapormatic , Tractor Parts , Online Tractor Part Search (https://www.vapormatic.com/tractor-parts.ashx'manuid=MF&m=Massey%20Ferguson&typeid=010&t=Agricultural%20tractor&seriesid=30&s=100&modelid=135#part_list/VPM1111)

I'm currently overhauling a 1971 Ford 4100, it has occupied my 4 weeks annual leave in September as well as every day off since. I've been amazed at how easily available the parts are, Bareco seem to have almost everything as a reproduction, including body panels, but I've been told Bepco are easier to deal with. I enquired with Stoneyford for a few parts back in September, still waiting for them to 'get back to me straight away'. It would be worth asking a local tractor dealer if they know anyone who may have parts, my Ford NH bloke put me in touch with a bloke whose father used to have the dealership in Sale and still has a lot of stuff.

Mick, I went to Stonyford today and there are a few MF bonnets but they may not fit as the only tractors I could see in the yard that still have bonnets is a 165 & 185. I presume the nose cone may swap but I can't be sure. On eBay new bonnets are selling for around £400 so I'd expect they'd cost close to $1,000 in Aus.

POD, that's a shame to hear but I've never dealt with them over the phone as we aren't too far away. Do you remember the person you were talking to? Jason is the boss and he has a couple of workers as well. When I looked today, Fords are fairly scarce there compared to rows of burnt out John Deeres. I'll try & post some photos up later.

Hi Mick,

On the link I posted before (Agriline) a bonnet only for your 135 is 195 quid. (PN 2510)as you probably know.

A brand new 165 bonnet including nosecone and the panel that holds the instrument panel is 220 quid (PN 2482), already painted MF red I assume.

Dunno if they are interchangeable, but the nosecone PN's are the same (4015).

I have a 165 with 1400 hrs on it, original tyres and a pretty shabby grill, faded paint etc, that's how I came across the site.

Love the old girl but I'm going to sell it soonish coz I don't need 2 tractors.

cheers, DL

[LRT]

I think there may be a difference in the length of the bonnets as the 135 uses the Perkins 3 cylinder diesel & the 165 uses the Perkins 4 cylinder diesel IIRC. If that's the case, the bonnet would need to be a few inches longer.

He has a petrol motor apparently, but you're right, the length may be different.

I actually had both, the petrol and 3 cyl. diesel, but the diesel I sold a fortnight ago as I no longer needed it.
The bonnets are identical and will also interchange with the 148, but not the 165 as they are longer.

Cheers and thanks, Mick.

Wow, only 1400 hours! I bought a new one in the early 1970s, so do you know how old it is? We went from a 135 to the 165, totally different machine and a pleasure to drive.

Well out of touch with all of this now. The last tractor I had was a TE 20 grey Fergie which I restored to concourse condition, including Bing chrome bits! I used some parts from Bare-Co, but most of the small stuff I bought from an old bloke in the UK. Cheers

[Homestar]

Also worth ringing around old MF dealers - Donalda in Maffra have been MF dealers since day dot and have NOS of all sorts of things. Got a carby for the FIL Grey fergie for $67 brand new, been on the shelf for 30 years - works great.
