Brake light switch location for massey ferguson mf275 tractor

[antgreen]

Hi all,

can anyone tell me where the brake light switch on a massey ferguson 1983 mf275 tractor is located? Any help appreciated. Thank you.

I'd honestly be surprised if it has brake lights. That era of tractor you should be able to see all of the brake linkage from the pedals to the brakes.

I would agree with 495 - it is highly unlikely that your tractor has brake lights. That is something that only modern tractors have and even then it may only be on models sold in Europe.

I can't find one in the parts book. I highly doubt they had one. At least not an American version.

Welcome to the forums.

Where in this wide world might you be located? Brake lights are not an option we see on tractors, of this vintage at least, here in the US. We know they maybe in other areas of the world, but such details are generally not included in our manuals for those tractors.

If you have lights on the fenders I bet they are 4 way flashers for driving on the road. Not brake lights.

I am in Australia and have a combo rear light with blinkers, hazard and brake light/sidelight combo.

That explains more. Your area and the European markets have more such accessories on tractors than the North American models have. Our parts books and manuals don't show them. We have some with flashing amber lights for warning and a few had tail lights (often just one). Some newer cab tractors and industrial equipment have brake lights.

Follow the brake linkage from the pedals to the brake the switch is either going to be mechanical mounted in contact with the pedals or linkage, or it could be a pressure switch if the brakes happen to be Hydraulic, like an auto. The correct parts book for your 275 should show it, if it is OEM equipment.

Best regards

A local MF dealer will likely have that information in a service manual, or can direct you where to find it online, maybe for free.

Odds are the local MF service department has seen the same problem you are having many many times before so they can walk you right through the diagnostics and repair.

Thanks everyone. This is what the switch part looks like, so i assume its attached to rod/pedal somewhere. Though removed on my tractor.
