Chevy 292 carb

notjustair · May 9, 2019

I picked up a Massey Ferguson 410 combine to play with. You know, because I have so much free time and the commodities outlook is so spectacular. Who doesn?t want to add a really old combine to their shed full of equipment when it is too muddy to use anything?

Anyway, I am going to road it a few miles to a friends place for a while until planting and haying is over late in the summer. It hasn?t run in a while but is shedded. I need a carb kit for it. It has the original motor and bolt-on stuff (from my understanding it is a 292 Chevy, but this is from the grandson so who knows). What carb kit do I need to get? The last Massey combine I had was a Super 92 and it had the straight 6 Chrysler so it has clearly been a while since I ran a combine that wasn?t diesel.

I keep thinking it will be a fun thing to tinker with in the winter, but I have to say that I know my 9500 like the back of my hand and she seems pretty simple compared to new machines!

chevy made a 283 and ford made a 292 knowing that look at the carb it s self. should be a tag on it with carb model probably two barrel?

Chevy made a 292 straight 6. I know them well and even have one sitting in this room that has been bored 60 over and has a high pro cam in it

292 would be a straight 6 and the big brother to the 250. Common carb kit that O'Reilly's should have on hand. I have one sitting right here in this room but it is not stock but is bored 60 over and has a 208/243 cam and if I even get done will take a corvette off the line

Your industrial Chevy 292 with a governor has a carburetor that would have never left the factory in a vehicle, so if AGCO doesn't have carb kit available anymore you will need to do some sleuthing and figure out the make of the carb, and hopefully the I.D tag is still intact.

With that info, and the 'net, most likely you can easily find a kit.
Look under the first application under Massive Ferguson

You will probably need to look over the carb for make and any numbers. Combine carb may be different than a truck/automotive carb. It is for the 292 in my gas Gleaner F and F2. Agco parts book shows a two barrel carb. All the trucks I've had were a single.

Agco Parts book gives 835823M91 and 835824M91 carb kits for combines before serial 1200-010-192 and then 836826M91 and 836019M91 for serials above 1200-010-192.

For each the first kit number is a basic kit and the second has more parts in it, I didn't look to what else it has

Chevy made the 292-6 and there was a lot of things that could be done to the 292. Here are several set ups used on the Chevy 292.

love that tri power!!!!!!

As I recall, the only carb I ever saw on those was the original Rochester. I recently heard an old gear head refer to them as "rotten-chester"! The flared nut on the input fuel line would be about destroyed from vise grip use, trying to get to the tiny fuel filter.

Bob Bancroft · May 10, 2019

Now, after more thought, maybe that was on the 250! One of those carburetors had a separate, large nut,[not right in the fuel line] which you could remove, and unscrew the little stack of brass discs, to clean it.

Most carbs have an aluminum tag with numbers on it attached to one of the screws on the top of the carb. Take the tag to an auto parts store and they can get you the correct rebuild kit.

I never understood what people didn't like about the Rochester two barrel. There was never a simpler, more reliable carb ever built. The choke and it's pulloff worked better than any other, and you could take it apart and clean it in half an hour if it needed it.

Pretty sure this is it, Marvel Schebler VHD 4882.

Yup, that's it. Was used on New Idea Uni System 292 also. The throttle shaft/plates are offset for ag applications for governor to work. Airflow will force the throttle wide open with the linkage disconnected, governor pulls it off to control speed. I found that out on an Olds 455 I had in a Cockshutt 570 years ago trying to use the Rochester carb, governor would not work with the auto type carb.

The carburetor shop shows a listing for that carb.

This is interesting. My experience with 250's and 292's is all Gleaner. Any Uni I worked on had a V6. I knew 292's were used in many other applications. This picture leads me to believe MF bought the engine without carb.
My assumption is AC bought the GM engines complete with GM carb's. I don't know about the governors?
