    MF50 Stuck in Gear

    I know this has happened to others, and it has happened to me several times before. Usually when my MF 50 gets stick in gear, I take the transmission fill lid off and move the shifter around with a screwdriver and it jumps back in place. This time not so much. No matter what I do it won't move...

    MF65 Key Switch

    Thank you everyone. To be safe I might purchase a new switch with the correct/right markings. Roger

    MF65 Key Switch

    My MF 65 diesel stopped starting with the key. It starts with a screw driver at the solenoid / starter. The key switch is not working because a wire came loose and when I took the switch out to repair it, another wire came loose. Can someone provide me with a wire diagram of the key switch? The...

    MF 65 Generator not charging correctly

    Good to know. Thank you both. Getting back to my original concern, I'm going to install a better quality AMP gauge to see if I can get rid of the wiggling needle. Roger

    MF 65 Generator not charging correctly

    The instructions that came with the VR (I've got them in front of me) explain it this way; jump between the BATT terminal on the VR and the GEN terminal on the VR. It only takes a second and a spark will appear. When you see the spark, your voltage regulator is polarized. All this takes place...

    MF 65 Generator not charging correctly

    It was not charging so I did a motor test on the generator and it "motored". Plus I did an amp test with a multimeter and it was putting out 14+- volts. So I changed the voltage regulator (& polarized it) and it charged for about two/three hours then it quit charging. Then I changed the amp...

    MF 65 Generator not charging correctly

    Thanks. So you don't think it could be a bad or poor quality amp gauge? R

    MF 65 Generator not charging correctly

    My MF 65 quit charging so I tested the 12 volt generator, and it tested OK. Then I put on a new voltage regulator and polarized it. Now the needle on my amp meter gauge swings back and forth erratically. Occasionally it will settle on "0" and move to positive when the throttle is advanced. Put...

    MF 50 Generator

    Forgot to mention that when I took both jumpers off and it still continued to charge. Will it continue to charge, or go back to non-charging after I use it for a few days? Roger

    MF 50 Generator

    The suspect wire was not the issue. Next, I did what rvirgil_KS suggested. Grounding the Field on the Gen did not create a charge. But leaving that jumper in place and jumping the Gen Arm to Regulator Batt, caused it to charge (no alleluia or dancing around this time). I turned the tractor off...

    MF 50 Generator

    Thanks. I took the dash off and found a loose wire on the Amp gauge. After tightening the wire, it began to charge, Alleluia! But then I took the tractor for a spin around the barn, and it quit charging again. The wire from Field on the Generator to F on the voltage regulator looks suspicious...

    MF 50 Generator

    My MF 50 gas with a 12 volt generator stopped charging. The Amp gauge works because when the lights are one it goes negative. I had the generator tested by a dealer and it is putting out 14 volts. I put on a new voltage regulator and polarized it per the manual. The Amp gauge will not move above...
