    Massey 135 Hydrualic Issues

    Well I had some time this weekend to work on the old tractor and tightened the spanner nut one round on the upper link and that solved the problem. Hard to believe that tiny bit of movement is all it takes to make the lift not work properly. Thanks for all the help and input.

    Gasoline question

    I have been told by several mechanics that you should not run ethanol gas in carborated engines. So I by only non ethanol for all my lawn equipment and my gas Massey 135. The Ethanol in older engines from what I am told causes seals to break down in the fuel system. Not sure about that but I...

    Massey 135 Hydrualic Issues

    There is some movement maybe a 1/16" of an inch or less. I will fix that this weekend and see if it makes a difference. From what I have read it should. Guess I will improvise a tool and hopefully it is not stuck to bad, but knowing my luck it will be. Thanks for all the input thus far.

    Massey 135 Hydrualic Issues

    I have Massey 135 Perkins Gas (1973 Model), I will not consistently pick up heavier implements (ie Brush Hog, Disc, ...) When I say Consistently, I mean most of the time it will only pick them up a few inches but on occasion it will lift them all the way up. I believe it is an issue with the...

    Ford 4000 SU

    Well I fixed this weekend. It was a fuel delivery problem. First the new Needle valve was sticking so I replaced it with the old one - that helped but did not fix it. Then I just had to throw away the instructions that came with the rebuild kit and adjust the floats as high as I could and...
