    Massey 1105 Hydraulic Lines Vibrating After Hydro Work

    Good news, I was able to change my valves to closed center. I talked to my hydraulic shop. There is a small hole inside the valve body. I just needed to add a brass plug to stop return flow when all the valves are closed. First I had to remove the exterior 10mm hex plug, which was torqued...

    Massey 1105 Hydraulic Lines Vibrating After Hydro Work

    Thanks for the reply! When I joined in 2022, my username was Rise&Grind, but I guess there was an update on how this site shows the "&" in the last 4 years. Very interesting about the hydraulic system. I had read something about the pump stopping once pressure was high but I don't...

    Massey 1105 Hydraulic Lines Vibrating After Hydro Work

    Picked up a beautiful MF 1105 two years ago with a front loader and about 4000 hours. It purrs like a kitten when running and starts easy in the spring. We love it. The only real issue has been the hydraulics. It came with two rear remotes and only one worked. Also the tilt cylinders were...

    Ford 4500 Starter Issue

    I had a similar issue and wanted to post an update for anyone else with a similar problem. I tested the hot wire coming into the ignition switch, and I got 12V on the multimeter, but the tractor wouldn't crank. I tested the switch, the wires to the starter and solenoid, and the starter, and...

    Ford 4500 Industrial Hydraulic Pump shaft Stripped Splin

    Just to post an update: I found a new replacement pump on amazon for cheap. Then I found the yoke at new holland, but it was more expensive than a used hydro shaft from Wenger's. Putting that pump on was really hard. Still not sure the best way to tighten the driver side bolt. So hard to get...

    Ford 4500 Industrial Hydraulic Pump shaft Stripped Splin

    Oh, wow. Good to know then! Thanks, I'll look for those replacement parts and get it back up and running!

    Ford 4500 Industrial Hydraulic Pump shaft Stripped Splin

    Hydro pump stopped pumping and I heard a lot of noise. Upon inspection, the splines are stripped, as are the splines inside the hydraulic pump shaft. So the shaft was loose and making a lot of noise. I could use some advice please. 1. I was planning to replace this pump with the regular...

    Ford 4500 Axle Oil Level Plug Inaccessible

    This is just a cheap one from Amazon, mainly purchased to inspect bee hives in the winter. Works great. Had it for about 3 years. Definitely not hi res like an infrared scope but its been very hand for little projects. I also have an infrared thermometer which is a ton cheaper. 220 x 160...

    Ford 4500 Axle Oil Level Plug Inaccessible

    Just bumping this to get any more ideas. I tried to remove the fill plug but I couldn't get enough torque on it and I rounded it a little when the wrench slipped off. I can't access it from underneath because the foot rest bracket is in the way. Removing the footrest is a major challenge too...

    Ford 4500 Axle Oil Level Plug Inaccessible

    Thank you! We've got a working ThermoSTART over here! My dad got in the tractor and he said he tried to turn the key Backward. It can't move Backward barely at all, and maybe it forced the key further in enough to push the switch. I could see the intake heat up using an infrared camera...

    Ford 4500 Axle Oil Level Plug Inaccessible

    That what I thought when i first saw it but I don't have the 5 position key cylinder and I don't see any other buttons to get it going. Its definitely not working because cold starts are rough. But I'll look more closely this weekend. Thanks!

    Ford 4500 Axle Oil Level Plug Inaccessible

    No thermoSTART. It was an optional intake heater on these tractors and I don't think I have it. But there are some wires going to the front of my intake manifold. Not sure what that is but I'll check later.

    Ford 4500 Axle Oil Level Plug Inaccessible

    Ok, so don't overfill. Got it. Would it start with ether at 10 to 20 degrees F? It may be a little less hard to access the plug from underneath but the cab basically goes down to the loader subframe so I would have to get to the bolt from under that, the very bottom of the tractor...

    Ford 4500 Axle Oil Level Plug Inaccessible

    First, you guys have a great community here and you have already answered a handful of my questions in older threads, so THANK YOU! Recently acquired a Ford 4500 industrial, diesel, 6/4 manual transmission, loader, 3 point hitch and pto, and a cab. I'm assuming the cab is aftermarket based...
