Greetings,
My name is Johnny Viebrock, I am an Agriculture Education Teacher/ FFA Advisor in Smithville, Missouri. We were donated a Massey Ferguson Super 90. When it arrived, it was leaking what looked like engine oil out a weep hole on the bottom of the transmission. The oil color was coal black. The tractor would not go into gear at all. I determined that the tractor was low on hydraulic fluid, and put almost 6 gallons into the hydraulic reservoir. After pumping the clutch a few time, it went into gear better. However, when the engine was running now, it would pump hydraulic fluid out of the reservoir under the top plate. (Determined there was no gasket there at all.) However, now when the engine was running, it poured out hydraulic fluid out of the same weep oil, only at a much faster rate. I have read the forum some and I can see where this issue has been addressed some, but this is a little outside my wheel house and I am looking for some guidance as I move forward. This project is something I am doing with a group of high school students in our Agriculture Tractor Power Class. I didn't mention above that this tractor has been sitting at least 10 years and not running. I did put oil, fresh fuel, and two new batteries, and it turn over about three times and fired right off.
Here are a few questions that I am sure will be asked:
1. Massey Ferguson Super 90 2wd.
2. Perkins Diesel
3. It has the High/ Low Transmission /(Lever was found not connected, when we split the tractor).
4. Oil originally appeared Coal Black, but once we filled Hydraulic Fluid reservoir, we developed a hydraulic fluid leak too.
5. When tractor was split, a large amount of hydraulic fluid leaked from the transmission side of the tractor.
6. Hoses appear to be in decent shape, but at this point will consider replacing just to be safe.
7. There appears to be some black oil leaking from behind the clutch assembly, so I still am inclined to believe the rear main seal is leaking.
8. The rear brakes are non existent, and it appears all the adjustment has been used. I am sure the rear end will need to be taken apart to repair brake material too.
Can some one supply a source for the best manual for making repairs?
Can someone work with me to help us get this project completed?
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Best Agricultural Regards,
Johnny D. Viebrock
