    MF 255 Diesel Tach Drive

    I ordered a replacement tach gear drive and it doesn't want to go all the way in. I think the boss around the drive end it hitting the end of the camshaft(whatever drives it), holding the mounting flange about 3/16 away from the block. The number on the old part is 535126M92 (or M93, (can't...

    Hydraulic Cylinders Spraying

    We had this happen when we added an AC WD-45 tractor, apparently it has higher pressure than our old IH H and blew out a lot of cylinders

    Orders to YT

    They called last night, well after working hours here. They are having problems sourcing the part but think they will have it out this week. I wasn't really complaining, I understand finding parts for old stuff, they probably relist a catalog and their supplier is slow or doesn't really have it.

    Orders to YT

    I put in an order July 26th and can't get any feedback. I did get an order number, but they haven't charged my card and no answer on the phones. Has anyone ordered lately? What was the turn-around time? Thanks I ordered a tach drive gear for a MF-255 Perkins AD236. This was the only...

    Bush hog M246 loader valve

    Has bush hog abandoned their loaders? I can't seem to find anyone that will work on one. I have a M246 loader with Walvoil SDM103/25 (unsure of last digit) that started leaking under the joystick boot. I took it apart and found the pivot was loose. I thought it might be leaking thru...

    What are the symptoms of bad steering motor?

    Replaced with a rebuilt steering motor, new cylinder (old was leaking) and new hoses. Works great after getting the air out. Finished putting all the sheet metal back on, backed into the shop to grease and service the back half of the tractor. Pull-to-stop cable broke..... Now I have to...

    What are the symptoms of bad steering motor?

    I don't think I have any other valve. I've seen pics steering cylinders that have a block on top, but mine is just simple hoses. It's a 1979 model, that makes it 40, I guess it earned some new parts :-) I need to get it apart to see if I have a spline or pin unit.

    What are the symptoms of bad steering motor?

    Still trying to diagnose my 255 power steering. I thought it was leaking into the engine, but I don't think it is. With the pump filled, the steering is "jerky", it's better at higher RPM. How does a bad steering motor act? I found a loose fitting at the bottom of the pump and the cylinder...

    255 power steering pump third failure

    Yea, the first replacement pump had the filler at 1-2 oclock, so it didn't have the designed air space, the 2nd one was at 3:00 like it should be. Not sure where else to look. I had a bushing go out of the steering arm about 2 years ago, I replaced the lines from the steering motor to the...

    255 power steering pump third failure

    I've got something causing power steering pumps to fail in less than 100 hours. They start leaking out the front seal into the engine oil. This is the pump with an internal reservoir that is plugged with an O-Ring plug. I think it's building pressure inside the pump forcing the oil out...
