How to Find and Order Tractor Parts on Messicks
Updated
Messicks (messicks.com) is a tractor and equipment dealer that has sold parts, equipment, and service since 1952, carrying New Holland, Case IH, Kubota, and other brands. To find and order parts for your tractor, start from the brand and machine model, use the site's parts lookup to narrow to the right component, and confirm fitment details (model, serial number range, part number) before checking out. The site shows a checkout page, so ordering online is part of the flow; pricing and any account requirements are not specified in the available site information, so confirm those at checkout.
Start With Brand, Then Machine Model
Parts catalogs are organized by manufacturer first, then by equipment line and model. Before searching, note:
- Brand (e.g., New Holland, Case IH, Kubota)
- Equipment type (tractor, loader, attachment)
- Exact model number as it appears on the machine's identification plate
- Serial number, since the same model can use different parts across production ranges
The brand and model are the two inputs that determine which parts diagrams and part numbers apply to your machine. Searching by a generic description like "hydraulic pump" without the model will return results across many machines and is the most common reason people order the wrong part.
Use the Parts Lookup to Reach the Right Component
Dealer parts sites typically let you drill down from an illustrated parts breakdown: select the assembly (engine, transmission, hydraulics, electrical), then the sub-assembly, then the specific item on the diagram. The expected result is a part number you can search or add to a cart.
Practical checks while browsing:
- Match the diagram to your model and serial range, not just the brand.
- Copy the full part number rather than a partial one — superseded numbers and similar-looking numbers are a frequent source of errors.
- If a number has been replaced, look for the supersession note so you order the current version.
Confirm Fitment Before You Order
Fitment is the step that decides whether the order works. Gather and cross-check:
| Information | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Model and serial number | Confirms the parts diagram applies to your machine |
| Full part number | Distinguishes similar components |
| Assembly location | Ensures you are ordering the correct side or position (left/right, front/rear) |
| Quantity per assembly | Some items require more than one per machine |
If the listing does not clearly state compatibility, contact the dealership's parts department with your model, serial number, and the part number you found. Messicks presents itself as a parts, sales, and service dealer, so a parts counter inquiry is the appropriate route when the catalog is ambiguous.
Checkout and Ordering
The site includes a checkout page, which indicates an online ordering path. The available information does not specify payment methods, shipping terms, or whether an account is required, so treat those as things to verify during checkout rather than assumptions. Before submitting:
- Re-read the cart against your notes (part number, quantity, side/position).
- Confirm the shipping address and expected delivery details shown at checkout.
- Save or print the order confirmation with part numbers for your records.
Common Sticking Points
- Ordering by description instead of part number. Always resolve to a number from the diagram for your model.
- Ignoring serial breaks. A part that fits an early unit of a model may not fit a later one.
- Assuming a listed part fits every brand. Catalogs are brand-specific; a New Holland number will not cross to a Kubota machine without a verified cross-reference.
- Skipping the dealer when unsure. For expensive or safety-related components, a quick call with your serial number is cheaper than a return.
If you are also weighing equipment rather than parts, the same brand-and-model logic applies: identify the brand line first, then the specific model and configuration, and confirm specifications with the dealer before committing.
