    MF 50C Instant Reverse doesnt engage - No reverse at all!

    Based on the s/n, you should have the bolted converter and the flex plate part number is 192409M1. If you google that part number, it appears that it is available from at least a couple of suppliers.

    MF 50C Instant Reverse doesnt engage - No reverse at all!

    What's the S/N of your tractor? I just noticed that there is a different torque converter and flex plate for S/N 9A346371 and above.

    MF 50C Instant Reverse doesnt engage - No reverse at all!

    Starting with the torque converter, I have not had to source one, but I can see by running a quick search on the assembly number that they are not readily available. You may need to disassemble the one you have and see what parts are damaged and try searching for those part numbers rather than...

    MF 50C Instant Reverse doesnt engage - No reverse at all!

    I'm sorry, I meant to say that unbolting the torque converter would allow removing it with the transmission (no the engine). You could then split the tractor and hopefully see what your problem is.

    MF 50C Instant Reverse doesnt engage - No reverse at all!

    Have you tried unbolting the torque converter from the flywheel? This will allow removing the torque converter with the engine. Has there been an open gap between the engine and bellhousing all this time? If so, there is no telling what you are dealing with in regards to damage or corrosion...

    MF 50C Instant Reverse doesnt engage - No reverse at all!

    I've been hoping someone more knowledgeable than myself might offer some advice. Since not, I'll give it a try as I am not an expert but have had my share of issues with Instant Reverse transmissions. First off, you stated that all pressure tests were perfect. Can you describe what the...

    Massey instant reverse transmision won't move

    Have you checked the sump screen to be sure it is clean? It seems strange that a pump would fail instantly, although I'm sure it's possible. There should be a test port in the top of the bell housing, directly above the transmission pump with an 1/8" NPT plug. You can remove the plug and...

    MF40 Instant Reverse Problem

    I received your email and appreciate the info. I have the 2 volume set of manuals. It provides reasonable detail regarding the Instant Reverse transmission. It is a relatively simple transmission once you figure out how it operates. The S/N for my tractor is 9A 98956, which I have assumed...

    MF40 Instant Reverse Problem

    JBKINWA, I've sent you an email. I'll look forward to hearing from you. To my knowledge, the clutch cylinder is original. I've only owned the tractor for a short period but the previous owner had never worked on the transmission and he purchased the tractor when it was nearly new. I failed...

    MF40 Instant Reverse Problem

    After restoring an MF40, the gears would grind when attempting to shift, indicating a warped or sticky clutch pack. I split the tractor and replaced the discs and plates in both packs. After reassembling the tractor, the transmission worked flawlessly with no grinding and smooth engagement...
