    Pulsing hydraulics on MF-50 diesel

    Hydraulics were working fine in draft mode pulling spring tooth harrow, which would sometimes snag on roots. Started pulsing heavily, causing the whole tractor to shake, but would still raise and lower, even when reattached to a heavy blade. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Thank you for your reply and the very helpful information. My draft control was frozen solid with rust from years of sitting in the weather before I got recently got it and got it running. The position control worked fine and I was not familiar with the draft control and didn't know that it...

    MF50-hydraulic overload?

    I definitely jammed the top link. I just don't know what that caused. My repair manual doesn't cover what constitutes an overload event or if there is a reset capability. Hoping to get some advice before removing the cover. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ed Abbott

    MF50-hydraulic overload?

    Using my subsoiler in first gear and hit a large root. 3 point stays up when running, only slowly goes down then engine off. no control, goes up as soon as started. Is there an overload reset or did I break something? 1964-s/n 537228 diesel deluxe

    Need help finding the serial number for a 1964 MF50 dies

    Thank you for the help. I figured out what was wrong with my number. The serial number stamper tried to use the letter B to make a 3, but the vertical line showed up strong. I now know my correct seven digit serial number. I am going to need a bunch of parts, mostly minor stuff, Ed

    Need help finding the serial number for a 1964 MF50 dies

    Thank you! At least I know the number (19 B0028 C) that is on the plate in that location is my engine serial number. Your number is very different from mine. Do you know where I can find the information on Perkins' system of numbering the 1964 serial numbers? Would my plate number be the...

    Need help finding the serial number for a 1964 MF50 dies

    Thanks for your response. I have the number :19B0028 C in that location. I think several numbers from different locations must be combined to make up a complete engine s/n that is required for parts ordering. Maybe someone knows how that works? Thanks again! Ed

    Thanks, but I have the tractor s/n. Many engine parts require the engine s/n, which is much longer. Ed

    Need help finding the serial number for a 1964 MF50 dies

    I just traded for this tractor that doesn't run and needs some parts that are specific to the serial number of the engine. The book says it has a A3.152 engine and the s/n plate is in location 'M' on the right side, roughly behind the starter, which I removed and no plate. The left side had a...
