    Massey 20c 3 point lift woes

    Alright you have saved my sanity! I found no other references that there is a screen under there, but there it was, absolutely loaded with garbage. Looked like a blood sausage! My 3PH is back to working, and the tractor is functional again. I very much appreciate you taking the time to respond...

    Thank you for responding. I had no idea that was even there, I just went and checked and see it! I will try that next. Thank you! Do you use any specific oil/fluid, or just whatever you can get locally?

    Massey 20c 3 point lift woes

    This thing is going to be the end of me!! Tractor sits unused for significant amounts of time (MANY months sometimes). So I probably shouldn't be too surprised the problem is happening. What I am surprised about is my ineptitude at finding the cause! With no implement, the 3 point lifts...

    John Deere Spray Paint

    What spray paint do you use? Is it best to get actual John Deere paint or will after markets brands work just as well. I am thinking John Deere paint will be more expensive. I will do some research after I post this. I am going to paint a new battery box and will probably follow that up by...

    JD AMT 600 5 wheeler gator, I missed out

    This message is a reply to an archived post by alabamafrog on September 19, 2010 at 18:06:16. The original subject was JD AMT 600 5 wheeler gator, I missed out. I realize this was over 10 years ago, but I just came across one from a neighbor who has basically rebuilt the entire thing with all...

    Removing front wheel spindles

    Final update; I cleaned up the spindles and tubes, put new bearings and dust seals and reassembled. There is a lot of play but I decided not to put the new bushings in, I just don't have the facility to do that and it's not a heavily used tractor so I figure this arrangement will last me quite a...

    Removing front wheel spindles

    I thought I'd add an update. I finally managed to remove the other side. Using the loader as a pressure point didn't work, it made the porta power too long and the pressure buckled one of the extensions. Instead kept it as short as possible and used 3 loops of chain (grade 70 hauling chain). I...

    Removing front wheel spindles

    I thought I'd add an update. I used the "chain for a press" idea, and I have one side out (hooray). As you can see I used the loader as a pressure point and the chain just to bind the loader to the axle. The first side was fairly uneventful. When the rust finally let go it so did so with a...

    Removing front wheel spindles

    This makes me think. When it all finally came to a head I was moving some heavy buckets of dirt, the tractor was really taking a beating. Which is more likely to happen first, bending the spindles in the pivot tubes, or breaking the hub off the spindle?

    Removing front wheel spindles

    Thanks for the responses they have been very helpful. Most importantly it doesn't seem as though I've missed something basic, like a notch, or taper or some other trick like they will only rotate when there is weight on the wheels. I will clean what I can and keep loading up with penetrating...

    Removing front wheel spindles

    I should add that before the top of the spindle got too low, I took a grinder and cleaned up where the sledgehammer had mad a mushroom of the head, so its not that the top of the spindle won't pass through the top bushing, the entire thing has taken way too much force to move at all.

    Removing front wheel spindles

    Hi, I'm new to posting here, but have lurked a while. I have 1979 MF 20C (the industrial one) with FEL. Recently, the range of turning has been progressively decreasing since the tractor sat for several months. Yesterday after a loud clunk, I have no steering while stationary, and minimal...
