    idle

    I'm working on a MF 65. the idle is way to fast. there is some play in the throttle lever so that if I push it up the idle is better but when I let go, the idle returns fast again. the screw on the throttle plate of the carb is out as far as it can go, so adjusting it won't help. I'm not...

    carb needle spring

    i am rebuilding my marvel schebler carb on my MF65 (1950"s). the carb kit came with a little bent piece of metal (maybe it is suppose to act like a spring, i"m not sure) that is suppose to go around the top part of the needle (the part that hits the float)--currently there is no such piece of...

    oops, motor oil in hydraulics

    it's a mf 65. really, you mean I don't need to drain it. that would be great. is there any downside to having the motor oil in there? thank you.

    oops, motor oil in hydraulics

    before I knew it I put almost two gallons of 30 w motor oil in the hydraulics part of the tractor. I haven't started it up yet and thought I should now drain all of the hydraulic fluid. before I did so, I thought I'd check with you all. maybe this isn't a problem, but I suspect it is. advice?

    engine timing MF65

    my tractor is not running well so decided it"s time for a tuneup. the one thing i"m not sure of is engine/ignition timing because my manual says nothing about it, other than give the specs (it does say you should take it to the dealer for timing). i know how to time a car. but i can"t even...

    box scraper

    mine looks fairly old but very heavy duty and never had the rippers--i think it would be difficult to retrofit rippers as well. i"ve got it listed for sale now so i could use the proceeds to buy the new one, but i haven"t had any takers yet. i might try adding extra weight as sean suggested to...

    box scraper

    i am wondering if it"s worth the expense ($650) to buy a box scraper with rippers. i already have a good box scaper but it doesn"t have rippers so it"s difficult to grade anything that has sod or weeds because it tends to just hop on top the surface without digging into the dirt. i"ll use it a...

    MF65 loader hydraulics

    thanks for the responses and photos. i do have a diverter valve but the 3 point won"t stay up, so that locking device might work well. i"ll try it. take care.

    MF65 loader hydraulics

    i have a 1950's MF65. unfortunately i cannot raise and lower the front loader if i have an implement on the 3 point unless the 3 point is in the down position; which really doesn't work very well. this basically means i have to take off the implement in order to use the loader. this seems...

    MF 65 brakes

    i wanted to give folks an update on the brake situation. i tried w/o success to cut the linkage with a sawzall. so i had a friend cut it off with a torch. i'm waiting for the parts to put it back together but this time i'm going to replace the pin in the opposite direction so i hopefully don't...

    MF 65 brakes

    thanks guys. i"ll try the sawzall first, then i might try a torch after that. if all else fails i"ll pull the axle. i think geoff is right that if the pin where inserted the other way, i could easily get it out. thanks for all your advice.

    MF 65 brakes

    i'm hoping someone can help me with a brake problem i'm having. all of a sudden i lost all braking ability. i discovered that the pull rods that go directly into the axle housing snapped. it's the rod that is U shaped at the end and has a pin going through it which attaches to something else...
