    Alternator too big for FEL?

    I’m putting on the FEL, but this Delco alternator is 1/2” too big. I looked for a smaller one, but couldn’t find one. The mount looks like it has been modified at one time, for reasons unknown. I could lower the mount, but I don’t want to screw up the alignment. So my question is, will the...

    How to fix this coolant leak?

    MF 203. Noticed this leak from the water pump pulley, took off the belt and spun by hand. Seems like there absolutely no resistance? So, how do I fix it?

    MF 203 3 point timing question

    Someone took a look at my tractor a while ago, he said that the 3 point levers probably need timing. I lost his number, and can’t find anything online about it. He showed me a quick video that I haven’t been able to find, it looked like the levers were being calibrated like a scale with special...

    Hydraulic pump decreases in pressure under load?

    MF 203 main hydraulic pump for 3 point hitch. When it’s under load, the pressure reaches 500 psi, when not under load it can reach its operating pressure of around 2400. It struggles to lift 6 pallets, total weight around 200lbs. Also, the cover for the hitch levers seems to be loose, I move...

    MF 203 3 point not lifting under load?

    Recently bought this tractor, this is the first time using the 3 point under load. Transmission oil has been replaced. It sounds like it gurgles when it’s at max height without load, and I can feel something pulsing/pumping when it is trying to lift the load. It can not lift a 1400# bale. I...

    How do I clean out the transmission and differentials?

    Massey Ferguson 203. I drained both plugs and this brown oil came out. The rear plug has a lot of sludge and debris on the bottom that I can’t get all out with a wire. In the same note the differentials look like they could use a cleaning too. Could I put 4 gallons of diesel in the transmission...

    Tachometer port for MF 203?

    I’ve got a 203 that didn’t come with the RPM gauge/tachometer wire. Where is the port for it on the engine? Edit: nevermind, I found it on the back of the engine a few inches from the fuel lift pump bulb. I was looking on the front of the engine like the videos I saw on other models

    Where to connect Massey Ferguson 203 stabilizer bars/chain?

    I can’t figure out how to stabilize the 3 point hitch, or what to buy. I did find the possible mounts, are they it? The clearance is about 3.5 inches between a string and the tire. What stabilizer should I get? The 3 point hitch will be mainly used for 3x4x8’ bales, around 1400#.

    Fuel not coming from pump when lever is used

    MF 203. Is fuel supposed to come from the port when the lever is moved? Fuel flows from the bulb when it’s loose, but does not come out of the port when the engine cranks or the manual lever is used. I don’t feel any resistance on the lever? I squirted some diesel into the port in an attempt to...

    MF 203 FEL pump drive?

    I bought a 203 with a FEL, but no hydraulic pump to power it. It came with a parts manual and a few handwritten notes. There’s a note that says Cessna 20644-ICEH and another that says Hydreco 24 GPM #708-522-M91 . I can’t find any of those pumps available. So, what modern hydraulic pump can fit...

    Is MF 203 good for moving 1500# rectangular bales?

    I’ve been searching for a tractor that can move six 14-1500# bales a month on hard ground, and lift them 4’ to unload and stack. Right now I’m using a IHI 20jx mini excavator to move them. It works fine, but not made for the job. So, can the MF 203 with the unknown loader do the job? I asked...

    Where do I post questions for a Landini (Argo) tractor?

    I’m pretty sure AGCO and Argo are two different manufacturers?

    Backhoe attachment removable?

    I’m looking at a Fordson Major tractor with a backhoe. The seller doesn’t know the model. I am looking to buy a tractor that can move and lift 1500# rectangular bales a few times a month. Question is, is the backhoe removable, and if it is does it have a 3 point hitch and pto? Can it move the...
