Parts Catalog Manual for Massey Ferguson No. 32 Pitman Drive Mower Cutter Par Sickle Book

What It Is

This is a reproduction parts catalog manual for the Massey Ferguson No. 32 Pitman Drive Sickle Bar Mower Cutterbar. It provides exploded diagrams, part numbers, and assembly instructions for maintaining or restoring this specific mower attachment, commonly used on vintage MF tractors for hay cutting or roadside mowing.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower is a Massey Ferguson No. 32 Pitman Drive model (not a later No. 32 with a different drive system). This manual covers the cutterbar assembly only—not the tractor mounting kit, PTO driveline, or mower frame. Check the original part number on your cutterbar’s ID tag (if present) against the manual’s listing. No deck size applies—this is a sickle bar, not a rotary deck. The manual is aftermarket reproduction, not OEM, so diagrams may be reduced or lack original color coding.

Key Things to Know

• Quality & accuracy: Expect clear black-and-white line drawings, but some reproduction copies may have slightly blurred text or reduced contrast. Not a factory manual.
• Installation difficulty: This is a reference guide, not a step-by-step repair manual. You’ll need mechanical knowledge to use it effectively.
• Common gotcha: The manual covers the cutterbar only—if you need parts for the tractor-side linkage or the pitman arm itself, you’ll need a separate tractor service manual.
• Value: At $12.97, it’s cheap enough to be worth it for identifying hard-to-find obsolete parts, but don’t expect it to teach you how to set or time the sickle.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own a Massey Ferguson No. 32 Pitman Drive sickle mower and need to identify original part numbers for restoration or repair. Skip it if you’re looking for a full service manual, need mounting or driveline info, or want a high-quality OEM reproduction—this is a budget-friendly reference, not a workshop guide.
