    830 (3 cyl) Brakes

    I appreciate the advice. I think I actually have one of those magnents in the barn so I can try it. I sure don't want to take any chances. I did cut the filter open and thankfully didn't see anything in it.

    830 (3 cyl) Brakes

    I recently purchased an 830 and while servicing it I found a few small fibers in the transmission screen. Maybe a total of six, they would all probably fit on top of a pencil eraser. No metal shavings of any kind there or inside the canister filter above it, or none large enough to see by eye...

    ever buy a tractor without seeing it in person?

    I bought one sight unseen once. It's been several years but I remember that deal very well. The day it was delivered was the day I learned that not all Massey Ferguson 35 diesels had Perkins engines. It didn"t look too bad, but it was a pain to start and it ran awful. I think my wife remembers...

    mowing report, day 2, or comedy of errors!

    I can sure sympathize with you on your leg. Shortly after I bought my 2600 I went to get off it in too big a hurry, just barely caught my toe on the step. My foot slipped, leaving me with a gash 2 inches deep parallel to my shin bone. Doc said the impact was so hard it literally burst open. 9...

    Oil Soaked Shoes

    Thanks for the advice guys, I do appreciate it. I'll probably mess with them a little and if I'm not happy I can always throw a new set on to bring it up to par with the left side. I've changed some oily brakes on Fergusons over the years, always just used new shoes, and I had wondered if they...

    Oil Soaked Shoes

    I appreciate the advice. I may give it a shot just for the heck of it.

    Oil Soaked Shoes

    Can oil soaked brake shoes be cleaned up and made to work good again? I just did the seals on the left side of my 2600 and now the right brake is getting weak, so I am figuring it is leaking to. The shoes I replaced were in real good shape except for the oil, and I was wondering if it is...

    MF 135 Questions

    I am looking at buying a 135 diesel with a lift issue. The position control has to be finessed a little to get it to lift, when it goes up it is strong, and goes down fine, it just takes a little patience to get it in the right spot to lift all the way up. When you find the right spot it will...

    135 Remote Hydraulics

    I have a remote hydraulics setup from a 135 that I just bought that would like to sell to get some of my money back, I have it on the photo ads but I have no idea as to what it is worth. As far as I know it will work fine, it did when it was pulled off. The only reason it was removed was because...

    135 Question

    Thank you both for the input, I do appreciate it. I was thinking 5k wasn"t too bad, glad to hear I wasn"t the only one with that opinion. I"ve wanted that tractor for years, and it will finally be in my barn this weekend.

    135 Question

    I have been looking at a 135 diesel for some time now. I know the owner well, and have used the tractor myself occasionally for the last 15 years. The tires are like new, all the gauges work, engine has no blow by and isn't an oil burner. He actually had the engine gone through at about 2900...

    MF 35 info needed

    I appreciate the input, I too was surprised the local dealer didn't carry them, and about as surprised that TSC did not have them. I was able to get off work in time to stop by Carquest, and thanks to an employee willing to get their books out and do some digging she found more than one...

    MF 35 info needed

    I was wondering if anyone can give me the NAPA or Carquest numbers for the fuel filters on my 35 with a Perkins diesel. The filters on it have no numbers of any kind on them, and the local Massey Dealer doesn't have them and it will be a week before they can have them. The filter bases are CAV...
