    Massey 240

    I have a question for the Massey experts. I am looking to buy a 1992 Massey 240 tractor in good condition but I noticed the fuel filter is on the right side of the tractor next to the alternator. Every other Massey 240 I have seen in person and in pictures, the fuel filter is on the left side of...

    Massey 240 Question

    I'm sorry, I meant to say the fuel filter is on the right side of the tractor, opposite side of the muffler.

    Massey 245 Power Steering Pump - Filter / O-ring Replacement

    I replaced the filter in the power steering pump on my Massey 245. I already had the new filter and O-ring for the pump. When I took it off, I cleaned the pump, put the new filter in, but had a heck of a time getting the O-ring to seat properly when trying to get it back together. Every time...

    My new to me Massey 245 with 236 loader

    LOL! Yes, it's a little harder to run that way, but it forces you to use a seat-belt :P

    My new to me Massey 245 with 236 loader

    I wanted to show a picture of my new to me 1979 Massey 245 with 236 loader. I bought it from the original owner with less than 3000 hours on a working tachometer. It is in very good shape and runs great. I just changed all the fluids and filters.

    Using Brakes without pushing down the clutch

    Mine is a 1979 Massey 245 with Reverse, 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears, with High and Low. I'm not sure if it is multi-power but I don't think it is. Is there and way you would be able to tell me for sure?

    Using Brakes without pushing down the clutch

    Thanks gents, that is good info I had no idea that slowing the throttle would control tractor speed while going down hill. That is very valuable information as I would have most likely just stepped on the clutch and applied the brakes, which could have not only been hard on the brakes but...

    steering wheel removal MF165

    Okay, I went out this afternoon to Home Depot and bought a wax toilet bowl ring. I removed the bolt from my steering wheel and then took my torch and melted the wax into the shaft of the steering wheel. I waited and had a cup of coffee (not really) until it dried and guess what! It didn't work...

    steering wheel removal MF165

    I found the below instructions from an old post. Not sure if it works, but I thought I would try it to see if I can save my old steering wheel. I will try it this afternoon and let you know how it goes. You need a torch (any kind will do) and a wax toilet seal. Remove nut, warm ( not...

    Using Brakes without pushing down the clutch

    Okay, this may be a really dumb question, but I am going to ask anyways since this is my first gear shift tractor. When driving my Massey 245, whenever I want to slow down, I always quickly push the clutch all the way down, and then apply the brakes to slow the tractor. To start moving again I...

    Massey 245 2 stage clutch question

    Thanks MF#1, yes I did follow the owners manual and adjusted the clutch prior to this post. However since it still released high I wanted to get some other opinions to set my mind at ease. It sound like, from the other posters, that this is normal for a two stage clutch, which makes me feel...

    Massey 245 Radiator Flush Question

    I want to thank you again for your help with this. Just to close out this topic, I will tell you the steps I took. I flushed out the radiator with hose water several times until the brown rust color lightened up. I then filled the radiator with white distilled vinegar and ran it until it was...

    Massey 245 2 stage clutch question

    I have another question on my new to me Massey 245. It has a live PTO with a 2 stage clutch. The clutch seems to work fine, however the tractor does not move until the clutch is almost completely released, which is pretty high up from the floor board. The clutch doesn't grind, the gears are...

    Massey 245 Radiator Flush Question

    Okay, I am going to get a couple gallons of vinegar tomorrow and try the flush. I will then rinse out with water a few times and hope that will clean it up. I noticed in my operators manual it recommends a rust inhibitor to prevent corrosion. Do you recommend adding a rust inhibitor? I was...
