    MF 202 Power Steering Issue

    If your level gets low enough and air gets in the system, you need to bleed the air out when adding fluid. You need to take the top off the reservoir to add fluid. It is not unheard of for people to put steering fluid into the engine fill port, not realizing that the fill port for the engine...

    MF 202 three point lift problems

    MF202 Three point lift problems. My lift raises when I start the tractor but the selector is in "lower". To lower the lift, I have to move the lever to " raise". Moves up and down smoothly only it's bass-ackwards. It was like this when I bought the tractor. Ive got a blade on the back I'd like...

    Work Bull 204

    Caryc! Longtime no chat. Hydrostatic is term being used back five years or so ago when I did my steering conversion with so much help from this site. And sorry, my machine is a MF202 not 204. I did the Rockwell conversion. Search "deecee" and it will bring back all those memories. I'm currently...

    Work Bull 204

    I need a little education on my 204. The three point lift is only fully up or fully down. Shouldnt it be adjustable for a specific heighth and then maintained by the leveling control feature? Also, are the transmission, differential, lift hydraulics, and PTO all in the same case? If so, how do I...

    First Time Use

    That's great!!! I've been building a tractor shed with a bunch of heavy wall 1 1/4 " electrical conduit I've been dragging around for years for the framing and we just got the roof on about two hours before the first flakes started falling here in NM. Haven't used the tractor yet for snow...

    202 Steering update

    Caryc...I've been back in business for a couple of weeks now. The steering is precise, super easy to turn and it's kind of like driving a car now....you don't really think about it, you just drive. I had the benefit of much of this tractor already being restored. The pump, cylinders and hoses...

    202 Steering update

    Don walked me right thru the conversion. He and Rockwell Offroad were very helpful. I'm very grateful to all the people that have been so helpful and willing to share their knowledge and experience. [/img]

    202 Steering update

    Per Inno: "I can assure anyone who thinks they want the original power assist to work, you probably don't" This is a compelling statement. Another quote I'm remembering a lot since buying this tractor is from the movie, Animal House: "My advice to you is to start drinking heavily." Hah...

    202 Steering update

    [email protected][ Thanks. The check valve is just a little tappet looking thing on a slightly tapered spring not much bigger than the spring in a ball point pen. Still can't truly understand how it functions and the old timer mf mechs can't say for sure that they remember it. It goes in...

    202 Steering update

    Okay. So who wants to sell me some parts left over from their conversion?? I found my seals to be okay and the valve internals to be surprisingly tight and not worn. This from two tractor mechanics that turned wrenches on work bulls for years and a superb machinist. The shaft looks good with no...

    202 Steering update

    Caryc i really appreciate this. And Don as well. This all seems the perfect route for me. Cleared a big space in the shop yesterday and will be removing the dash today. Plan to, depending on what i find in the column, try the new seal and bypass line route for now, and then the conversion to...
