    Help! We have a farmall 544 we have been trying to get fixed for 3 years.

    I’ve yet to see a carb with a vent at the bottom. Maybe a leaking drain, or possibly idle cut-off solenoid, or even an adjustable jet.

    Help! We have a farmall 544 we have been trying to get fixed for 3 years.

    Following what Jim said, our MF 135 eventually just didn’t want to run properly, spitting fuel, misfiring, backfiring, stumbling, you name it. No adjusting the carb or timing would help. Checked the points gap again and found the points spring had lost its tension. New points and all was well again.

    135 no power to the wheels

    He did write lift cover vs side cover and that’s how I understood it too.

    MF 65 - Ground PTO DUH!

    In Europe they used to have a lot of single axle wagons that had driven axles geared to be driven by the ground speed PTO, especially in hilly regions

    MF 65 runs bad when it gets hot. - HELP

    If it’s only problematic after it’s run a while and is hot, especially since it’s not a problem in cool weather, I’d bet the coil is on its’ way out. Cheap to replace. Have had that happen regularly on an IH140. Don’t know if it’s the tractor or lousy coils, but I always have a spare on the shelf.

    Walking tractor.. 4 months, to get here

    Still have a few of them. At one time they were the machine of choice for grounds-maintenance people. Simple, effective and extremely reliable. Still the best machine in it's class, hands-down, for mowing a side slope according to a friend in the grounds-maintenance business. Can go where non of...

    Walking tractor.. 4 months, to get here

    Can be 4wd when hooked to the right trailer which is driven by PTO, sort of like ground drive on a regular tractor. Similar units were very common in Europe back in the 50's, 60's and 70's on their smaller farms and especially in mountainous areas.

    New Tractor Loader question.

    The standard QA for a tractor loader is different from the QA for a skidsteer. They are generally meant for heavier tools and loads than what skidsteers can handle, though with smaller tractors, many bigger skidsteers can handle as much or more than that tractor would. At least that's what I've...

    Drained oil in front axle of my John Deere 6300, now I can't get the filler plug off to refill.

    Just do as tractor vet says and be done with it. Just the plug and everything else will be fine, unless it’s directly under the fuel tank maybe.

    help have a 500 JD tractor commercial loader backhoe

    Parts diagram or shop manual aren't going to tell you where the hoses go. They assume you know or have the skill to figure it out. Unfortunately, at this point it's going to require some time and leg work to trace the line paths to the hydraulic cylinders. So long as you know which lever does...

    help have a 500 JD tractor commercial loader backhoe

    Check which valves move with movement of control levers and then follow hoses to the corresponding cylinder. It should become obvious then which ones should be reversed or are crossed.

    Hyd steering help

    There is no feedback really, except full lock on any of our 4 with hydraulic steering and that's just the squeal of the pump as the pressure relief opens. The one with power assist through the mechanical linkage has plenty of feedback though.

    1966 Lamborghini 2R hydraulic issues

    Must have taken it apart to paint in order to have changed anything. So either, low oil, maybe a spring and valve/washer in the wrong order, linkage not properly hooked up, pump not turning or needing priming, or maybe the lines hooked up in reverse?

    Replaced Steering Cylinders...bled...not working MF 245

    There’s a groove around the pump housing where that o-ring sits, if my memory is right and that o-ring should sit in there snug or it’s too big. It should not be pinched out of that groove anywhere. As said, put some grease on it to help hold it in place and help the cover slide over it. You...

    Replaced Steering Cylinders...bled...not working MF 245

    No turnbuckle on that model. Hydrostatic steering, no mechanical link.
