MF 590 lift cover adjustment tools

[Michal_M]

Hi,
I have an MF 590 (1979) and I'm trying to setup lifting system properly. According to Workshop Manual I need special tools: MF 356 (Position and Draft Control Setting Gauge) and MF 363 (Quadrant Lever Retaining Tool). Position 7 and 9 on attached picture.
Does anyone know where I can get the details of these tools (major dimensions, some sketches, etc.)
Will be grateful for any help with that.
Regards,
Michal

I've been talking to AGCO on this. They still sell a tool kit to service some of these top covers. ATPK8105 is the tool kit and is available from the dealer. My dealer told me it is $2100, so it is pretty costly.

do you have yours apart at the min, is the purpose of that tool item 7 to make sure its standing straight.

Hello,
I finally made this set of tools myself, put on the lift cover and set it up.
Then I assembled lift cover on tractor and make final adjustment (lift pump max pressure and proper length of links comings from levers in cab)
I will try to put some pictures of tools if someone is interested.

No tool for making an adjustment is worth $2100.oo That is just a price from greed with the idea that you will make money with the tool fixing tractors. So they want a part of that money you would make.

Any news on those pictures, have the same job to do and it would make life easier.

I would really like to find a drawing with all the measurements for the Massey service tool MF 356 for draft and position control lever adjustments.
Thank You

I would try asking my MF dealer if they have one, and if they would let me trace it.
