    Harvest King tractor tires

    I am rebuilding a Massey Ferguson 130 that was a narrow vineyard model. All the tires were cracked beyond use. It has 3x19 tires on the front and 9.5x24 on the back. I am putting 12.4x24 with 10 inch wide rims on the back and thinking about putting 6x16 rims on the front. As I was looking at...

    Massey Ferguson 135

    I have an MF 65 with power steering. When I bought it the power steering only worked one way. There is a hydraulic valve as part of the steering mechanism ahead of the radiator. When you move the steering it moves the valve which then provides oil to the cylinder to move the wheels. If the valve...

    Replacement Rear Tires MF130

    I was looking on-line for radial rims and couldn't find any. All I saw were normal rims. Do you know who makes rims designed for radial tires? I would like to fill a tubeless tire with fluid for weight. On our farm in Michigan, which my youngest brother runs, They used tubes inside the...

    Replacement Rear Tires MF130

    I managed to pick up a working MF130 vineyard model. The tires are bad. It currently has 9.5x24 tires on seven inch rims. The rims are solid with no corrosion holes. It uses the standard four loop 24 inch rim that International and Allis Chalmers uses on their older models like the A and B. I...

    MF 30E Restoration

    I would second the idea to have someone rebuild the injector pump. There is a plunger inside the pump that is prone to stick. I tried to rebuild the pump on my MF65. It lasted all of 9 minutes. On my pump there are two sections. The first time I pulled the whole pump. This next time I plan to...

    MF 30E Restoration

    We have a large cherry farm in Michigan. We have rebuilt one of these that was turned around to drive backwards. It has a large forklift where the 3 point normally is. It also has the reversible torque converter instead of a clutch. We love it! It is our favorite forklift. Those 3 cylinder...

    Massey Ferguson PTO Clutch Stuck

    My PTO clutch would not work. I could engage the PTO if the engine was off then start the engine with the PTO engaged. When I pulled the clutch out the six rivets around the center of the clutch had their heads worn as shown in the two pictures. Does anyone know why this would happen? This is an...

    thoughts on Case 1494

    My father bought a Case 1390 new and we still have it and use it. We have a large cherry farm near Traverse City in Michigan. For a good share of its life it was our sprayer tractor. So the PTO was in constant use driving the four foot wide blower on the back of the sprayer. This was a very...

    Hydraulic Reservoirs

    What makes a good hydraulic reservoir? I have two old small propane tanks that hold 5 gallon each. I was going to mount a 13.5 gpm pump off of the front of my tractor, drive it from the crankshaft, and mount the two propane tanks slightly above it on both sides of it and plumb them in parallel...

    Long 445 Clutch Replacement

    I know of the Long 445 that we can no longer put in gear while it is running. The owner thinks the clutch is out because he adjusted it as much as he could. Is there anything to check before we split it? Could something else be wrong? Can we put it in gear and try to start it? Does it have a...

    Talk me out of an MF 65...

    I am going to recommend the 65. I am currently rebuilding a 65 for my own use. I would also recommend a Ford 5000 or the last of the Fordson Super Majors made from 1961-1964. You want a tractor with 45-50 PTO hp. This lets you run a hay baler or brush hog with ease. Weight and traction is every...

    How much HP to pull a plow bottom?? Look as see

    In Michigan near Traverse City where the ground is sandy we use to pull two bottoms with a Ford 850 that had 35 hp. When we hit our black rich bottom lands it was all the tractor would do. That works out to 17.5 hp per bottom which is what the Oliver has with six bottoms. I am thinking that...

    PTO Driven Hydraulic Pump

    I am also rebuilding a MF65 and a Yanmar 2000. Both of which do not have good remote hydraulics so whatever I do to the Allis B I would make two more copies and install on both the MF65 and the Yanmar 2000.
