Massey Ferguson 300 Combine

Rob Benton · Nov 20, 2016

I have a question about a 300 Combine. It has been sitting for at least 10 years. It had been inside. I can buy the machine fairly cheap. It has a 13' header with a U2 real and a floating cutter bar. The only thing I've seen wrong is the lower bearing in the unloading auger is froze up. Is this machine worth saving?

Check overall parts availability and your handiness. I got a MF33 drill because overall it was in really good shape and just the funnels were rotted off. Turns out there are only a handful of those available and the AGCO list is like $45 each (and at least when I checked, there weren't even 15 available I needed). So parts may need to be made as I had to do. More popular models are easier to get parts for. Worth saving? I mean, it could be. I'd certainly go look at it if local because I want a cheap combine project. Just my two cents, hardly gospel!

I think so. I have had a few combines over the years and have found that the parts that fail or usually not proprietary or unique. It's usually belts bearings and chains and sprockets - nuts and bolts type stuff. Either the parts are available or some ingenuity will fix it.

Check the framework for cracks on both
sides just behind the cylinder. They
are a small machine, but functional.

we had one at home we ran for years. we ran about 100 acres of small grain and some corn with a 3 row head through it annually. Some parts me be hard to get. Do you have an AGCO dealer close by? Check for those cracks that were mentioned in the other post and check the back axle area out good. I have seen them broken and repaired. That's not good. Do you homework but they were a decent machine in their day.
