Hello,
I recently purchased a mf265. I am prepping it for a simple paint job/cleanup as it's a working tractor for me.
I have a couple of questions.
This tractor has a front hydro pump/tank. It also has a 3spool valve mounted under the right footbed that isn't being used but is being run through to a single spool valve then mounted up on the fender.
1. I'm curious if the 3spool is some sort of factory setup? It lines right up with slots in the fender. I can't find any infos/photos showing this though?
2. On this front hydro system there is no filter so I'm assuming to put one in the return line?
3. The vent on this front mounted hydro tank is loose and leaking like a sieve. Also they ran the air filter minder line to the hydro tank vent. Is this proper?
4. The hydro lines are just ran helter skelter front to back is there a proper/clean way to run these lines?
Thanks for any thoughts/help.
This tractor is a big leap for me, it came with a full line of haying equipment that I also need to run through too this spring. Lots of shop time ahead. I'm going from hiring in a farmer to make hay for me to doing it all myself. Could be a fools errand but I like a challenge.
