    1961 MF 65 Diesel Tachometer

    Thanks for identifying the dash light. Are you saying one of the 2 Perkins engines you have specified fits my MF65 and the other one fits the MF30 in the video? Could you tell me which is which? I can see the 2 engines are different. For example, my engine has 4 bolts in the rear camshaft cover...

    1961 MF 65 Diesel Tachometer

    I've asked about this in a different YT forum. I still have questions and hoped there might be more people here with knowledge about Massey Ferguson. Last week I bought a 1961 MF65 diesel. I've worked through several issues, but haven't found information about the tachometer drive. The tach...

    1961 MF65 Diesel Tachometer Work Light Conduit or cable

    [b:fba67a46dc][u:fba67a46dc]Tach[/u:fba67a46dc][/b:fba67a46dc] The tachometer isn't working. Removing the cable at the tach and starting the engine, the cable wasn't turning and I couldn't get any sense of mechanical engagement by pushing and jiggling the exposed cable end either. I pulled the...

    The charging system on my Mf65 diesel is a mess

    The charging system on my Mf65 diesel is a mess, but I don't think I have to deal with that right away, because I won't be using much current and the tractor came with a large deep cycle battery in it. The generator is not the correct one and didn't pass a voltage regulator bypass test. The...

    Mf65 Exhaust Discharge options

    I'm working my way through various issues having to do with the MF65 tractor I just bought. The otherwise good muffler stack was broken off 4 1/2" below the bottom edge of the hood while the previous owner was mowing under overhanging branches. I expect to encounter similar situations...

    MF65 Power steering concerns

    I put a bit less than 2 quarts of Type F ATF fluid in the reservoir under the hood. Good steering assist developed and I haven't detected any external leaks. There has been no rapid loss of fluid from the system. So, I'm thinking there may be a very slow leak into the crankcase through a pump...

    MF65 Power steering concerns

    In an earlier thread, I was informed of the the risk posed to the injection pump drive by operating the power steering pump low of fluid. So I had the tractor hauled home and put in about 1/2 gallon of power steering fluid. Since then I have read that ordinary OTC fluid is not the...

    MF65 Sway Chains/ Stabiizer links

    I've never mounted a 3 point implement and have questions about mounting the almost new 6 foot bush hog that came with the tractor. A problem is that when raised about 12 inches the deck tends to come into contact with the rear tires. After doing some Google research and examining the...
