    Fuel tap Seal

    Hello Guys Is there any secret goop or method for sealing taps into fuel tanks ?? My MF 165 tap leaks, and I have a new one to hand. However it needs to "register" or tighten in the right spot so the fuel line will connect. Cheers - Foster

    Replacement Chainsaw

    Hello Guys My Echo CS4500 saw is currently in surgery for the first time in the 18 years I've owned it (and I got it used, abeit only a small amount I think) - really its the first time I have had to have it in for service. Obviously I look after it but nothing special apart from a few plugs...

    Hauling a D2 with MF 165

    Hello Guys (from down in NZ) I want to haul my D2 around the district (I do a bit of casual moleplowing for neighbours). Short of hiring a transporter everytime I'm sorta thinking that I could use my MF 165 to haul it. We're talking distances of up to 15 miles (up to 30 miles is legal...

    PTO Shafts - how much HP

    Hello Guys Following on from the triangular PTO shaft thread, does anyone know of a table showing how much HP triangular shafting will take in various sizes. I have a flail mower ( 1.75m/5'9" cut - hammer type knives) with such a shaft and it seems light for the power it will take - all...

    Vapormatic Bankable Valves – 100 series remotes

    Hello Guys I’ve just scored an used set of Vapormatic remotes for a MF 100 series. It comprises an adapter that goes on the standpipe on the lift cover, and this includes the diverter valve. It has one valve attached to it that we think is for a single acting cylinder (but it’s a little...

    Oil Spray ??

    Hello Guys I have a 70's Massey 165 and a 1951 Cat D2. On both machines the panels are sound, and nicely faded, just how I like them !! I don't want to repaint these tractors, but we live close to the sea, and rust never sleeps here. Recently I read somewhere that some folk spray an oil...

    Troubleshooting 165 Fuel System

    Hello Folks My MF 165 (A4.212) won't start. Very embarrassing cause it (didn't) perform for my visiting brother-in-law, who has a collection of at least 7 MF's. It cranks fine but with absolutely nothing from the injector pump, either in the form of white smoke, or fuel when the injector...

    MF 165 Valve Clearances

    Hello Guys I'm sorta looking at my (new to me - I've put about 40 hours on it) 165 (212 engine) and thinking " well its running OK but since quite a bit of stuff has to come off to adjust the valve clearances - I bet its not been done since Adam was a cowboy" . . . would I be correct in...

    165 Clutch - oh no not another clutch thread !!

    Hello Folks I have adjusted up my 165 clutch and it functions nicely now. However the crew are still complaining, seems not all of them are as limber as me and they reckon their knee is nearly up around their ears at the top of the clutch pedal travel – I’ve tried telling them that they need...

    Introduction and Best manual for MF 165

    Hello Guys I've recently come by a standard and original 1973/4 MF 165 with the A4-212 engine and wet brakes. The tractor has 4200 hours on the clock, runs nice and all the important bits function as they should - although the clutch is in need of adjustment. The 165 will be my main using...
