    MF50 industrial control functions

    Alright, after having everything put together again on Saturday, I did a fair bit of work with the tractor yesterday. Only at 1 time that strange noise came up again, but only for a second or two and then it disappeared again. I was not able to really reproduce the noise on my own again...

    Just some photos for future reference: The sump cover with screen filter in place. The sump cover without the screen. Overview of the 2 separate chambers in the transmission. The front end holds the ATF for the torque converter, while the smaller chamber on the back holds the...

    MF50 industrial control functions

    You mean the plug all the way at the end of the transmission, right? This one: I don't see any other plugs near the differential.... I currently have everything opened up, makes everything a lot clearer to see it in person in stead of just reading about it Unfortunately (or maybe...

    MF50 industrial control functions

    Alright, that are some clear answers. I will drain the oil behind plug 2 tomorrow and see what we get. After that, I'll drain the fresh oil (plug 1) that I have put in last week and remove that sump cover. If I understand correctly, when taking the sump cover off, I can expect that a part of...

    MF50 industrial control functions

    Am I correct, that the suction filter is accessible when I take off this panel? When I changed the transmission oil, I drained the oil in the front section (there is a second drain plug all the way to the back) from plug nr 1. Do you know if both plugs 2 and 3 are for draining the torque...

    MF50 industrial control functions

    No, unfortunately I haven't figured it out yet. I thought that opening separate topics for this would perhaps be better, but since we are discussing it here, it's maybe good to share the video here too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jk1k0oTfW8c The transmission fluid was not full (only...

    MF50 industrial control functions

    Very interesting to hear! Do you know about the differences between the 50A and 50B? I don't think I have a 50B though. The 50B should have individual left and right brakes (mine has only 1) and I think it should also have 2 individual pedals for the instant reverse transmission (backwards...

    MF50 industrial control functions

    Aha, that was exactly the sort of information that I was looking for! Thank you so much. Exactly, the backhoe is not connected to the 3pt system at all, but the lift arms are still present underneath the seat. Also the controls for the lift arms are present inside the cab and they are working...

    MF50 industrial control functions

    I will try again to post some pictures. This is the little knob that sits right above the transmission dipstick. It has an arrow pointing downwards on it. This is the lever that has something to do with the brake system. It is the yellow lever next to the steering wheel: This post was...

    No problem, I'm sure someone might recognize it eventually, or I'll figure it out sooner or later.

    MF50 industrial control functions

    Thanks for your reply! Great to hear that you have a MF50A. I have been wondering what the differences are between the MF50, the MF50A and the MF50B, do you happen to know that? Online, most info can be found about the MF50B and a lot of things seem to be very similar to my tractor...

    MF50 industrial control functions

    Hi all, Besides the topic that I recently opened about a strange noise coming from my Massey Ferguson MF50 industrial tractor, I would like to ask you all about some controls on my tractor that I don't really understand what they are used for. For those who haven't seen the other topic: I...

    MF50 industrial instant reverse problem

    Here is another try to post the video, it would be really great if someone recognizes the cause of this loud noise: youtube.com/watch?v=jk1k0oTfW8c

    MF50 industrial instant reverse problem

    Hello all, I'm new here, so I think a small introduction would be good. A couple of months ago I have bought a 1971 Massey Ferguson MF50 industrial (backhoe) tractor, here in Sweden. The label actually mentions the type MF50R, but I think that might be the name the Swedish importer gave it (I...
