    Would like some help picking a Ford 4000 or talk me into another model.

    Ford 4000 or 4600, MF 165 or a JD 1120 are about the same size and your best bet in the used tractor market. Can't go wrong with a good one of any of these. Ben

    Question for the cow experts

    On dairy cows, extra teats were cut off at birth....since you couldn't milk them, they were a source of contamination if they leaked. On a nursing beef cow, I don't think they would hurt anything. Ben

    Gleaner A raddle chain repair

    If you are combining corn, you may want to get the saddle cob shield...fits behind the saddle chain and prevents cobs from following the chain around and go under the saddle floor where they get pinched between the saddle and the floor, and then the clutch slips. Also, check your saddle floor is...

    John Deere 2555 Loader Seems Slow

    Maybe a dumb response, but are the hoses from the cylinders connected to the right valve ports on the valve body? Should be a detent forward on the boom control....float...and a detent on the dump function for quick dumps. That's how mine operated, identical valve control and loader as yours. Ben

    MH-44special hydraulic manifold info

    Yes, it is the Standard model. I've had numerous 33 44 and 55 model MH over the years, and the hydraulic pumps LOOK the same on every model. One thing to be aware of is that some diesel models have the pump mounted forward of the pump mount casting, to allow for the fuel injection pump to be...

    John Deere 2555 Transmission Grind

    If there is oil getting on the clutch facing, , it could cause it to drag on the pressure plate or flywheel. Rear engine seal or trans input shaft seal. Doesn't take much to make it drag. A long shot, but maybe.... Ben

    MH-44special hydraulic manifold info

    The 44 Special was only built for a few years, 1954 to 56, then the 444 came out....much the same tractor, the biggest difference being the 10 speed trans in the 444. My hydraulics work fine, no intention to mess with them. The tractor is all original 6700 hours, I bought it from the original...

    MH-44special hydraulic manifold info

    There are different types of hydraulic set ups for that era of Masseys. I have a 44 Special like yours, a 1955 model. It has the heavier cylinder for the 3 pt linkage, plus a pair of outlets for towed implements. On my tractor, the flow to either the lift cylinder or the outlets can be varied to...

    Larger tires for 44

    B&D is right. But a RC would not have the 30 inch wheels as you state, these were on the standard models.The largest tire on a 44 Standard would be a 16.9 x 30. A 44 Special could be equipped with 18.4 x30 but an 18.4 x34 was never an factory option. Any pressed steel 38 inch rim with the...

    Help with model & date on Massey Harris tractor

    I think you are correct...the G would denote gas, the R row crop meaning adjustable front axle and the 1 I would believe means standard altitude pistons in the engine. I'm sure someone will know for sure. Ben
