    MF 175 hydraulic problems

    Thanks for the advice. I have the auxiliary hydraulics option on my tractor, with a "combining valve" that sits on top of the trans housing just under the front edge of the seat. I have had a real problem figuring out/understanding how to use the hydraulics on this tractor. Mostly I have...

    Massey Salvage Yards?

    I would suggest looking up All States Ag Parts. They have tractor salvage yards in six states in the midwest. I have ordered parts for my 175, and was happy with the service. I think you can find them on the net at external_link. good luck.

    MF 175 hydraulic problems

    I have a MF 175 with a front loader, and I am having some problems with it. The loader runs off the internal pump in the trans housing. I have three problems that I assume are related. 1 There is a hydraulic fluid leak where the steel lines pass through the side of the transmission...

    Massey 180 problems

    I have a 175, and when I bought it a year ago the multi-power wouldn't shift. I found that the connector between the lever on the dash and the lever on the bell housing was just a bit loose, just enough to keep it from shifting. Once I figure it out it took about five minutes o fix. Check it...

    Swivel fitting leak

    None of the fittings on my MF loader swivel, all the movement (which isn't much) is from the flex in the hoses. Probably need to replace fitting, although I have had some luck taking fitting apart and wrapping with teflon tape to seal. Good luck. Tin

    mf 175 carb leak

    While working on my tractor yesterday I noticed gas dripping from the hose leading from the air cleaner. Found gas also dripping from the bottom of the carb. Shut off the gas at the sediment bowl, pulled the carb, and checked it out. Thought it might be a leaking needle valve, but everything...

    Where to check later MF-65(1964) power steering fluid level?

    That looks like the power steering pump I have on my 175. Type A ATF is still made, it is commonly sued in some cars. I think type F is for fords, Mercs, etc, while type F is for GM. For my tractor the instructions for filling the power steering are: 1. Start tractor, bring to operating...

    mf 175 hood removal

    Got everything off finally. Difficult to get to all the bolts, complicated by front end loader and a massive grille guard, but managed. While it was all apart I painted all the parts with Rustoleum Red and fixed some minor electrical problems. Got my dash lights working for the first time...

    mf 175 hood removal

    Does anyone have any tips/tricks for removing the hood on my 175? I have removed all of the bolts I can find, but something is still holding the front end down. Here I am planing major repairs and I am stuck just trying to get into the thing! Any help would be welcome. Tim

    175 MF loader info needed.

    I have a 175 with a massey loader. Mine runs off of the tractors hydraulics (not a front mounted pump) which sounds like your set up. If you go to the agco parts page http://www.agcopartsbooks.com/PARTSBOOKSN/Viewer/book.aspx?book=agco/651190&page=357 you will see the PTO set-up for the...

    massey 175

    I have a 1973 MF 175, so maybe I can help a little, although I'm no expert. Mine has multipower, so it might be slightly different. The power steering pump should be on the right side of the engine in the front, and there is a plug on the top and two lines leading forward to the ram (which is...

    mf 175 hydraulic leak

    I have a MF 175 with a loader. Unlike others I have seen there is no separate pump, the loader runs off the tractor hydraulics. The hoses running the loader come out of the plate that has the PTO shift lever. There are two fittings tapped into the cover, and one of them seems to be leaking...
