    Replacing tire valve stem - size?

    Bingo! You're on to it! That particular rim has had so many leaks there's a bit of corrosion on it already, possibly worse on the inside. It leaked nearly all of whatever solution was in it a few years ago and I re-filled it with left over radiator coolant mixture from when I rebuilt the engine...

    Replacing tire valve stem - size?

    I think you are right, the valve assembly looks like the tube patch one on the left! And I guess I just got lucky with the tyre plugs I've put in that tyre like you mentioned! 😁 I may cancel that Amazon order and take some time to re-think this. In the meantime I have slowed the leak enough to...

    Replacing tire valve stem - size?

    Hey there, thanks for replying! I'm down in New Zealand on the lower South Island too far away from a tractor tyre service place to drive it there to get sorted and can't afford to call in a mobile tractor tyre service. Besides, I usually find a way to get done what I need done.:) Anyway, the...

    Replacing tire valve stem - size?

    So my old MF188 has a tire valve stem problem - it's leaking! I think I have found a way to replace the stem without breaking the tire bead and losing the ballast by using the Colby XL valve stems (https://colby-valve.myshopify.com/products/xl-emergency-valve). I have already ordered two via...

    How to read the hour part of the tachometer

    I was wondering if someone could tell me what the units are on an MF 188 tacho/hour meter. From the left there are four digits in white on a black background, then one digit in black on a white background, then a bit with various white, black or black and white patterns. Am I correct in...

    Perkins 236 for 248 swap MF188?

    So, after much deliberation and investigation I ended up rebuilding my 248 engine in my MF188. It took awhile and it cost a bit but it started on the third crank over. I now need to break it in. I handed the engine over to the rebuilders pretty much as a short block and they did the guts and...

    1973 MF 165 Perkins Diesel blow by

    I hope you stopped in time! I didn't and my 188 lunched - scored liners, cracked block between cyls 1 & 2, chipped piston. Luckily I was able to drive it under cover while oil spewed from every opening to the crankcase. I'm regretting not tearing the head off earlier and fixing what was...

    What tractor is this

    That clutch looks alot like the one I just pulled from my MF188 with a Perkins 248 diesel engine. If you are looking for parts they may be the same and I may even have a bit of service info on it.

    What tractor is this

    It looks like a 200 series industrial tractor which were yellow. Engines can tell you alot. I'd suggest finding out what engine is in it and then try to narrow it down by looking here: http://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/tractor-brands/massferg/massferg-tractors-industrial.html

    Perkins 236 for 248 swap MF188?

    That's good to know. I use it mainly for moving feed around, mowing with a PZ165 mower, tedding with a PZ Hay Bob and running an 8" throat wood chipper on the PTO. So likely the lower power won't be an issue, especially considering that the old engine probably wasn't developing the full power...

    Perkins 236 for 248 swap MF188?

    Thanks for your reply. What would 7hp and 35ftlbs of torque translate to in operation? Would it substantially reduce the lifting capacity of the FEL? Right now I can lift one heavy bale of baleage or two hay bales. If it wouldn't lift a baleage bale with the 236 then that could be a problem...

    Perkins 236 for 248 swap MF188?

    Hi all, I'm new here but have lurked around the site for awhile. I'm looking for some comments on a dilemma I have. Here is the situation. A few months ago the 248 engine in my MF 188 blew up. I now have the engine out and the local engine machine shop says the crack between 1 & 2...
