    Hi all. Looking at a mf175

    Nice looking tractor. There are three grease nipples on the power steering steering cylinder behind the grill that often get neglected. A manual is a must have if you don't have one already.

    Whining gears?

    The clutch is dry between the engine and the transmission so no worries there. Have you noticed any metal specks or flakes in the transmission oil? I glued a magnet to the drain plug on my S/M and also a worn out clutch can created driveline noise especially when engaging PTO implements. I would...

    MF30 Instant reverse tractor Sudden failed to move

    Wonder if it had something to do with the dirty oil that was in it? By the way, nice tractor!

    Blow gun

    I have one of these and they move air. They also have a steel inlet sleeve, I leave the rubber tip in the toolbox unless needed. I have a blue big box store air gun around somewhere that I have not used since I picked up this Astro...

    Diesel Engine Oil

    Any diesel rated 5w40 or 0w40 will be fine, run it all year if you want. As a 40 year heavy equipment operator I can tell you there is not a large excavating company anywhere that runs anything other then regular 15w40 or some lately running 10w30 diesel oil and most are doing 500 hr oil change...

    MF 40 rear hubs

    Those are planetary gears and you do fill up to that level with any transmission/hydraulic oil that meets Permatran III specs. There is a drain plug there too.

    175 wheel removal

    Just a warning to never weld or heat a rim that has a tire on it , creates explosives gases.

    Roadkill goes all tractor.

    That's Steve Magnante, I really enjoy his shows. He had some serious health issues last year and luckily now is recovering. Looking forward to seeing him back on TV.

    Battery for a Massey 175 diesel

    Big battery indeed. A group 31 is what you want.

    Super Major Oils

    I looked up N/H 134D, it will work and it's 10w30 weight. There's no fear of contaminating implement hydraulics using 15W40 or any other of the recommended oils as they are also good hydraulic oils.

    MF/Terex/Fermec 650B slow moving

    I have the MF 50H-HX operators manual and it is very thorough. The 50HX appears to similar to your Fermac. You check and fill the transmission fluid through the floor board below your feet.

    MF30/MF165 graft?

    The MF 30 industrial is based off the 165. Agco parts can help you compare parts numbers between the 2. I think the 34A loader came on the later 30's. https://parts.agcocorp.com/ca/en/apbsearch/model

    Friday Problem

    The 4.270D block was good that these came out of last year thank goodness. A new 4.270 block would be a treasure.

    Super Major Oils

    The Fordson Major line of tractors called for "HD" oils to be used in them. HD oil is a detergent oil, you should never use a non-detergent oil in any engine that is pressure lubricated and has a oil filter. Detergent oils have been around since the 1940's.

    Super Major Oils

    Any 15w40 or 30w diesel rated "CK" oil will be fine for the engine, transmission, and rear end. The rear end and hydraulics share the same sump so do not use hydraulic fluid in the rear end. The manual called for 30w for summer use and 20w in cooler temps for the engine, transmission, and rear...
