    MF 165 Auxiliary Hydraulics not working

    Harry, Tom Thank you both for taking the trouble to respond to my plea for help. I think perhaps you are right Harry, I have the wrong tractor for what I want to do. I have just spent the last hour or so trying in vain to get it to work. I followed your procedure Tom but even with the diverter...

    MF 165 Auxiliary Hydraulics not working

    Hi Harry. Re Q1. Maybe I’m not using the right terminology so from supplier invoice I have a “Double Acting 3 Pos. Spring Return Hydraulic Monoblock Valve”. Have I bought the wrong bit of kit for what I want to do? I see from the MF hydraulics manual and using their own control valve the oil...

    MF 165 Auxiliary Hydraulics not working

    Hello. I need help please. A couple of year ago I bought my first tractor, an MF 165 mark iii assembled here in France. Since then I have acquired some equipment such as a Woodland Mills chipper which is an absolutely brilliant bit of kit. I have also purchased a hydraulic bucket with double...

    MF Starter Motor

    A good point thank you. I’m intrigued to know why the new starter doesn’t fit though given that it is listed as suitable for this model. Perhaps I don’t have the A4.212 that I thought.

    MF Starter Motor

    Greetings from across the pond. I purchased the 963989M1 for my 165 mark iii which I keep in France and after much delay eventually arrived in France and have today tried to fit it. The good news is the mounting holes match. The bad news is the original starter has a cut out to fit around one of...

    MF Starter Motor

    Thank you for your help Jim. I think you have come across the same problem I am facing every time I try and find a part for the 165 mark iii. As far as I can tell, this model wasn't widely sold (perhaps not even at all) in England as I have a US published 165 parts book and in some areas parts...

    MF Starter Motor

    Thank you. Any thoughts on the part number or perhaps more importantly, do you know if there is a difference between 963989M1 and 968856M1? Cheers Gilbert

    MF Starter Motor

    Hello Steve. Thank you for taking the trouble to reply. You are of course totally correct and I have checked a number of the points you raise. The reason for wanting to go down the new starter road is twofold. First of all, being resident in a non-EU country, the time I can spend in France where...

    MF Starter Motor

    I have recently become the proud owner of my first tractor, a French assembled 165 mark iii. It is a wonderful machine and for the most part does everything I need. However recently when I try to start it all I get is a click. I know the brushes can be changed but as I live in England and keep...
