    MF 175 w/MF 236 Loader and front mount hyd. pump

    MF 135 hydraulics

    if you re moving the levers and the arms move but don't move the vertical control arm with the roller on it your valve is stuck in the pump. we've done many of these and you will have to remove the pump from the machine. if you have IPTO that means splitting the tractor otherwise you can get...

    you will know if head gasket is blown by running with cap off. you will see percolating in radiator but don't confuse this with normal agitation of coolant from flowing in from upper hose

    MF 230 Clutch

    the purpose for the forward position on the pto is if you have a 3pt mounted hay rake for one as it prevents the rakes turning speed from beating all the leaves off the cut hay from overspeading

    diff. lock

    Your first task is to determine where it is stuck. Either the pedal assembly or the plunger is stuck. Remove the pedal from axle housing, 4 bolts.
