    MF 245 brakes and axle oil seals

    Hello good folks, MF 245... had it for 10 years, great little tractor. I do everything with it: snow removal, logging, haying, market garden tillage, etc... However, the brakes have always been a bit weak. Pedal travel seems proper, but stopping is not easy. Presently brakes can't hold the...

    Farmall 140 running rough - why?

    Thanks Everyone for your replies. This forum is so useful, and you are all so kind to help me out. I have a whole lot of things going on in life, so unfortunately I'll be working on the tractor intermittently. But I will heed all your advice and keep you posted on my progress. I will move...

    Farmall 140 running rough - why?

    And to reply to your other comments - thank you for all the suggestions. I did pull off the distributor cap just to peek, and it looked a bit corroded here and there. I buffed it up with emery cloth and put it back together. The tractor still runs. I will clean it better or simply replace it...

    Farmall 140 running rough - why?

    Hello and Thank you all. Today I had only a little time to work on this, but I took the screen out of the sediment cup assembly. It was fairly clean, but I cleaned it anyway. I found that there was a piece of crud actually blocking the opening where fuel comes from the tank. I removed that...

    3 point hitch stabilizers for MF245

    That's great. Thank you all. I was going to make something like one of those, but they're so cheap I'll just go buy them. Does anyone have a preference between the bar type (like a top-link) and the chain type? Eric

    3 point hitch stabilizers for MF245

    I have a standard rigid bar stabilizer bar for my MF 245 3 point hitch. BUT I want my 3 point hitch to completely stop shifting side to side. At present it moves 3 or 4 inches right to left. This is a problem for precise cultivation of vegetable crops. Anyone have a good design for a more...

    Farmall 140 running rough - why?

    Thanks 560Dennis, crsutton81 and caterpillar guy. I believe there was LOTS of fuel flowing out of the line once I disconnected it from the carb this afternoon. I'll check again tomorrow to be sure. If necessary I will remove that screen above the sediment bowl. (Thanks crsutton81). I will...

    Farmall 140 running rough - why?

    Hello again - just got to working on the 140. I cleaned the little filter (Thanks: crsutton81). It had a very small amount of black specks in it, but not much. I also cleaned the sediment bowl which also had some black specks on the bottom, like fine sand. I pulled the plug on the bottom of...

    Farmall 140 running rough - why?

    Hi folks - I'm getting to know my new-to-me 1968 Farmall 140. Great machine. I replaced the plugs and wires when she was running a bit rough earlier this summer, and that seemed to smooth things out nicely. Now, spontaneously, she's running rough again. Idles fine, but under load she's...

    looking for a MF 4wd 45 hp older tractor: recommendations?

    Hello MF friends, I posted this question on the general tractor talk list, but here it is for you MF specialists. I have a 1981 MF 245 diesel, which I like very much. It's 2wd, and I'd like to add a second tractor to my fleet, very similar to the 245... but 4wd. My criteria are 4wd, diesel...
