    1999 F250 fuel pump replacement???

    You can drop the tank or lift the bed. Bed bolts may be rusted and tough to get out. If you lift the bed, you don't have to empty the tank. If you drop the tank, you do. I dropped the tank on mine. Siphoning the fuel out took about as much time as dropping the tank. The quick connect...

    Radiator

    I purchased a radiator for Massey Ferguson 1100 a few years ago. It fit fine. Arrived in good condition. No complaints. Radiator was made in Turkey if I recall correctly.

    Problems starting a Perkins an AD203 on a Massey Ferguson 30.

    Not familiar with what starter your tractor has. Does it have a cylindrical solenoid that pulls in the starter drive? If so, you may want to try flipping the connector stud. It's a trick DieselTech recommended when I had variable starting speed with my Perkins 354. I took the cap off the...

    Flexible Propane Line

    My 9Kw dual fuel portable generator needed a 3/4" ID hose, using full port 3/4" ball valve for natural gas supply. It would run with a 1/2" hose, but bogged down starting heavy load. For Propane; 1/2" may be OK. I used gasoline rated hose with grounding braid. Had the generator about 10...

    MF 1100 3-Pt Lift Issue

    Follow up on old post. After removing inspection plates found that I could get the lift to raise if I manually pressed the linkage on the control valve assembly. Everything looked right per the shop manual. With help of a borescope, checked the linkages and springs to be sure everything was in...

    MF 1100 3-Pt Lift Issue

    I have not, but I will. I can understand how a restriction would cause the lift to be slow. Would that cause the lift to drop quickly when engine is shut down? The tractor is on property about 100 miles from home. I'm formulating a list of things to check next time I go there. Speaking of...

    MF 1100 3-Pt Lift Issue

    When brush cutting with MF-1100 recently, I noticed the 3 point lift was slow in responding and wouldn't fully lift the 7' cutter. The lift worked fine when I started. Noticed the problem after 3-4 hours run time. I thought it may be the main hydraulic filter so I changed it. That did not...

    Replacing brake hardware question.

    Those are to provide a slight retraction of the pads. I accidently left them out during brake maintenance on my F250. Brake pedal feel was much improved. I would recommend leaving them out.

    MF 1100 Front Pump Seal Leak

    Last Spring I was looking to replace the seal in the front hydraulic pump of my MF 1100. It was leaking about 5 gals per year. However I noticed it didn't seem leak much when actually running, but dripped after shutdown. I've been in the habit of lifting the unloading valve before I cool and...

    Hydraulic Center Link: Length (for MF1100)

    Thinking of putting a hydraulic center link on MF 1100, category 2. Would be used primarily with back blade and pallet forks, maybe with brush hog. There are several options for length. Thinking of using the length of my current arm at standard setting as a midpoint for the hydraulic link...

    MF 1100 power steering

    Our 1100 got hard to steer couple years ago. Everything else worked Ok as you describe. Thought it was a hydraulic problem. However, it was the bearings in the steering column binding. Was able to free it up with some PB Blaster liberally applied, then some regular oil. Adding a few drops...

    Harbor Freight syphon tool, should work?

    I used the Harbor Freight tool you reference to drain 30 gallons of gasoline from my F250 tank prior to replacing the fuel pump. It's slow because the hoses are small. Took longer to drain the tank than it did to drop the tank. It actually did a good job. Probably less than a quart of gas...

    1105 3 point lifts slow

    You may want to try changing the front hydraulic filter again. A few years ago I changed the oil, screen filter, and main filter on my MF 1100. After a few hours operation, the lift became slow. I had another main filter element, so I changed it. Lift action returned to normal and has been...
