Now the lift is working like it...

    massey 253

    I have a 1996 253 and it is having 3 pt lift problems. I have drained all the fluid and it was milky. My filter cartridge was partly clogged. Per repair shop I added 3 gal of fresh diesel to clean the gear box and hydraulic pump valves. Shop told me to drive it about 3 or 4 minutes at idle and...

    MF 253 transmission fluid is milky

    I drained my MF253 transmission, hydraulics and removed the transmission filter. 3 pt lift not lifting started this fluid draining maintenance. As I suspected... it was milky meaning water in the fluid. I talked with a local tractor dealer and they told me to check the shift lever boots for...

    MF 253 rear lift failure

    I drained my MF253 transmission, hydraulics and removed the transmission filter. As I suspected... it was milky meaning water in the fluid. I talked with a local tractor dealer and they told me to check the shift lever boots for cracks. They were right on the mark... both were leaking. One is...

    Long 2360 manual throttle

    I have a 96 Long 2360 and the manual throttle doesn"t hold the rpms steady. The foot throttle works perfectly. When using the bush hog they say to set the R"s at 1789. The throttle lever will increase the R"s and overrides the foot throttle but won"t stay where set. I"ve been searching for a...

    MF 253 rear lift failure

    My 253 has the lever there. I tried to move it and it seems to be stuck. I'll check it in a few minutes. That may be the problem. I may have moved it while getting on the tractor. Thanks Ken

    MF 253 rear lift failure

    I finally found some post on hydraulics on the forum which indicated probably a clogged hydraulic filter. I"ll drain and check this problem and let you know if I have the same problem. Thanks Ken

    MF 253 rear lift failure

    I lifted my small bush hog up yesterday and a couple of minutes later I lowered it down for a minute. Now the hydraulics will not lift up again. I checked the oil stick on the right side rear. It looked kind of milky but was up to the mark. Total hours on the meter is 2436. It appears there is...

    model 60 first gear problem

    Thank you sir. Mine goes into the slot but won't move. Put it in 2nd for an inch or two the put it back in 1st and it works fine. You wouldn't by chance know where I might get a decent nose with sides for a 1955 all fuel with power steering. I've looked for six months and found none worth...

    model 60 first gear problem

    The lever goes into the gear slot but the tractor won"t move. I put it in 2nd gear and move just an inch or so then put it in 1st and it works fine. This 60 shouldn"t have this kind of problem due to wear. It has very few hours on it. I got it from a fellow I know and his dad used it rarely...

    model 60 first gear problem

    I have a 1955 model 60 that sometimes when starting cold will not engage 1st gear. I can put it in 2nd and engage it and then immediately put it in 1st and it works fine. I warmed her up and changed the gear oil and other than being a little dark for my taste it looked ok. After changing the...
