    rim width for 16.9x28

    I have a MF 165 with 11 inch wide rims and 16.9x28 tires. I have to replace the rim, but I am not sure if that is the original tire size for that rim. I have the factory parts manual and it can't make up its mind whether the rim should be 11 or 13 wide. Then looking at (modern) tire...

    MF 1100 closed center hydraulics

    I have read that the MF 1100 uses closed center hydraulics? What does this mean for rear remote implements which have their own valves (ie, like a backhoe), must they be closed center as well?

    difference in pto shifter covers

    For Donovan, Here are some pics of my modified live pto cover (first time I've added images, hope the quality is ok). Ground pto is no longer available of course. This is 3/4 inch black pipe inside with ultimately 1 inch hydraulic hose going to the pump at the front. The fittings going...

    Massey 165 steering wobble

    On my 165, just redoing all the rubber bits in the power steering cylinder with a seal kit was enough to take on-road travel from 'highly exciting' to 'manageable'.

    MF 165 power steering reservoir

    Of course there is oil on both sides of the piston, but the cylinder rod is only on one side of the pistion so that side takes less oil. With such a small overall volume of oil the cylinder rod causes a big change in reservoir level from extreme right to extreme left. I have the MF service...

    MF 165 power steering reservoir

    The power steering fluid level changes quite a bit as you turn from one side to the other. Where does the air go when the fluid comes back into the reservoir? On mine I have just a solid pipe plug in the fill hole and I can't see any other breather mechanism. As a related aside, I had a lot...

    MF135 Front End Loader Install

    So how do you go about sizing an external pump? The internal belly pump (on a 165) is supposed to be good for 4 GPM @2000? PSI, which is useable but too slow for many people, is 5GPM really sufficient? What is the impact of using too big a pump?

    Retrofit internal aux pump

    I've been inside to rebuild the belly pump and there is definitely just a multipower-only pump. Searching the archives here seems to indicate the front mount is the way to go, the independence from the clutch is definitely a plus. Does anybody know if the bits and pieces for a front mount...

    Retrofit internal aux pump

    I have a early MF165 with multipower and live pto. Is it possible to replace the multipower-only pump with the combined multipower/aux pump like some models came from the factory with? Just wondering if this an option rather than the crank driven pump on the front. On models with the...

    Replacing oil seal on PTO gearbox

    I have to replace an oil seal on the 1.5 inch input shaft of my 3pt snowblower. It is a rubber seal with a spring around it and although I was able to remove it from the outside with the shaft in place the seal and spring are really dead now. Is it possible to put the new seal in from the...

    water pump 175

    If the pump is anything like my 165, it will come out (barely!) without removing the radiator but you need patience to get the four bolts on the fan off. Put a thin piece of cardboard over the rad fins in front of the pump/fan, it does not take much wrangling with the fan to damage the fins and...
