    Replacement tach cables just dont fit :(

    That's actually a good tip. I'll take a look over the next couple days. One of the problems I have is that it has a Bushhog FEL on it which makes it a pain to get access at times, but I think it can get to it. Would also explain why the original cable has no issue getting in there. One...

    Replacement tach cables just dont fit :(

    I've been slowly trying to make my '76 MF 265 'pretty' again. Figured a decent (and "easy") way to start was with some new gauges, since the tach wasn't working and neither is the fuel. Fuel gauge I'm sure is a faulty sending unit or a float so I decided to start with the tach. I've...

    Anyone ever use U Ship to get a piece delivered

    I used uShip last fall to ship a '76 Massey from Houston to Denver. Had a great experience with the guy who picked it up.

    '76 MF 265 Diesel - What is this plug?

    Yup. That's the plan for the weekend lol. Since i got 65.5 ohms from the ohm meter, looks like it must be a 220 watt heater... less than I thought it would be. But I ordered a plug that doesn't fit - think I'll just be modifying it to work... After I make sure those prongs don't short out to...

    '76 MF 265 Diesel - What is this plug?

    I've been accused of the same, don't worr! lol that's actually why I put the ohm meter on it to see resistance. I think it would be fine.... of coarse there is always the risk I guess of electrifying the entire tractor....

    '76 MF 265 Diesel - What is this plug?

    You sure you have a block heater in that port? Looking at the service book I have, the pictures don't look like its a frost plug. But oddly enough the book talks about everything else but frost plugs. I took a picture from the book, will try to upload tomorrow, so it seems it could be the block...

    Front tire sizes

    I have no doubt that truck tires would work well with a loader. I don't do a lot of loader work. Mainly pushing snow and lifting the occasional 1,000lb pallet out of hog feed from the back of the truck. Since the tractor was the first tractor the wife rode and has more sentimental value to...

    '76 MF 265 Diesel - What is this plug?

    Looks like this is a Tisco GE11461 block heater (https://smile.amazon.com/TISCO-PART-GE11461-ENGINE-HEATER/dp/B00BW5LPCO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1481226532&sr=8-1&keywords=GE11461) ... At least thats what it looks like. I should be able to measure the dimensions this weekend...

    uhaul car transport for 8N

    If you have an equipment rental shop near your they usually have trailers for rent that are a bit better. Local place by me also rents compact kubotas and mini excavators. They have trailers with electric brakes which I prefer over hauls 'surge' brakes. They don't care what you put on the...

    Front tire sizes

    Not even sure where I would start to look for "American made" tires... Was thinking of picking up a set of: https://simpletire.com/summit-7.5l15-97125-tires for the front. should last me a couple years I suppose.

    Front tire sizes

    Front tires on the '76 MF265 are starting to look rough and cracked. If I had to guess, they are the original 3 rib tires that were put on from the factory. Tread is 'decent'. The tires are 7.5L-15's. Since the tractor was my wife's uncle's -- she would like (eventually) a complete restore...

    MF 285 Again

    Nice looking 285. Looks similar to my 265. I need to get a canopy on mine like that would make things a lot better in winter!
