    MF20 starts but won't stay running

    Makes sense. I'll replace those and let y'all know what happens.

    MF20 starts but won't stay running

    The entirety of the time I've owned the tractor--around 10 years--I've used it for 10-20 hours per month, on average. Some significantly more than that. Sometimes it has been unused for a couple of months. I've cleaned out the air filter housing and the air filter here and there. Don't...

    MF20 starts but won't stay running

    The shutoff valve for the tank was a problem before--or I thought it was, anyway--and I cleaned it and the fuel tank at that time, maybe a couple of years ago. The fuel still runs clear from the tank to the transfer pump. After the transfer pump, I believe it goes to the filter with the...

    MF20 starts but won't stay running

    I have an MF20 that began to have trouble running. I would have to mash on the gas to (what should have been) too high a running RPM. It ran labored--this was over the course of cutting a football field with a flail mower to try to level it a little--for around 4 hours. I was running the mower...

    MF20 front wheel hub, bearing replacement

    Finally got the hub "assembly" after 2 weeks...and it's just a hub. Nothing else in the box...when a week had passed I called YT to see if there was an issue. It took almost an hour on hold to get someone to tell me that, yes, in fact, we've just printed the shipping label. It hasn't been...

    MF20 front wheel hub, bearing replacement

    So the wear sleeve fits into that groove between the seal and the shoulder of the spindle?

    MF20 front wheel hub, bearing replacement

    I think the bearing was sitting in a drawer in my garage since...maybe 2014...it's got a little corrosion on it, but it's really just surface stuff...you can't feel it. It's almost just a discoloration and polishes off with steel wool. So I put the bearings on the spindle and...

    MF20 front wheel hub, bearing replacement

    Here are the inner bearing and race (with NAPA numbers), the outer bearing and races (with NAPA numbers), and some different views of the inner bearing and the rubber seal that is attached to it. I can't tell how the seal is bonded to the roller bearing, but it's on there really well. I'm...

    MF20 front wheel hub, bearing replacement

    I have a MF20 Industrial tractor with a broken front wheel hub. I found a replacement at Steiner tractor for $50 or so. First question, Is that a good price? I found the bearings and bearing races at NAPA and will post the part numbers later--forgot to bring the boxes in the house.... My...

    431 steering cylinder

    While it wasn't the same part, I had what I thought was an unrepairable shuttle shift lever and a local machine shop was able to put it on a lathe, put a pin in the middle, and TIG weld it back together and it looks perfect. If your shop didn't pitch the piece they broke off, you may be able to...

    MF20, 3-pt lift not working after removing cap cover

    David, thanks. I got the stand pipe reseated. I ended up taking it out of the cap and lined it up in the bottom hole first, then lined up the cap and pushed it down on top. 3pt lift works again! Unfortunately, I took off the cover where the PTO lever is and now I can't get the PTO to engage...

    MF20, 3-pt lift not working after removing cap cover

    Thanks for the info and especially pics. When I removed the cap cover, the stand pipe comes out attached to it, i.e., it does not come out of the cap cover. That's probably just because it's old/rusted/stuck, etc. But, gathering what y'all have said, I'm assuming that I shouldn't remove the...

    Stuck differential lock in engaged position

    The pedal is in the "unlocked" position in the pictures. It may not be adjusted properly on the shaft. I think it must have been loosened when I engaged the differential lock, months ago, and then when I tried to disengage, the pedal's position with respect to the shaft wouldn't allow it to...

    MF20, 3-pt lift not working after removing cap cover

    I have a MF20 Industrial tractor. I was going to clean out the filter and screen for the 3pt lift, having read over some posts here about how to do it, etc. I couldn't remember where it was located and began indiscriminately taking things off the hydraulic lift cover looking for the screen and...
