:licking:
I just bought a used MF 231 with a Howse 5 ft shredder. The tractor just needs the center front axle bushing, tie rod ends, and the water temp gauge does not work. Rear tires are 90 to 100 % (one is brand new) and the fronts are brand new, fresh paint and the shredder is new also. I paid 5,500 for it, I hope I did not over pay.
My question is I went to Tractor data to run the numbers and Tractor data said the serial number would be on the right side below the cluster, but it is on the left side and the numbers don't match tractordata example. I hope it is a 231? There is a casting on the transmission on the right side that you can see "231". The tractor has a very fresh paint job, so it is easy to see all the casting numbers.
Just need to get a loader and some other attachments. Also need to get the 100 % water out of the cooling system and add coolant. Which coolant do I need? Can I run regular and added the diesel additive, or just go a get some from John Deere?
Also need an Oil change, would like to go with Rotella T-6, but don't know what the specs are, guess it is time to get an owners manuel.
