Thanks for the info T-Tech!

Hi All! I'm working on an early series Massey Ferguson 275, in which both levers that operate the remotes are very hard to move. In the time I have used this tractor, they have never moved easily, but now it takes tapping at the lever attachment with a hammer to get them to budge. These levers...

It's hard to see in my first couple of posted pictures, but I added a OSHA approved retractable forklift seatbelt. As you say, cheap insurance for the unexpected upsets of the machine

The company tractor is fitted with a Quicke loader. The joystick had seen better days- it was missing the top cap and I was getting tired of nicking my palm on the exposed terminal ends. I searched and searched for some sort of farm tractor replacement grip. I found a grip for a Koyker loader on...

Here's an update for those thinking about how to save their seat: I took bmaverick's advice and went with a charcoal gray Springfield boat seat. This tractor spends a lot of time in the weather, unsheltered. My hope is the UV protected vinyl will hold up. I had to do a bit of modifying to the...

I found a WIX 51333 on Amazon for $27.52 shipped and wound up going with it 😐 Thanks to all who viewed the thread!

Hi All! I'm servicing a 1974 Massey Ferguson 165 Diesel with a spin on oil filter. The tractor came to me with a WIX 51333 installed. I have searched local parts houses and online (RockAuto, Amazon, eBay, etc) and they are either out of stock or priced at over $50, which just seems silly...

Hi Folks! I'll preface this post by saying I'm currently working in the Pacific Northwestern region of Canada, where aftermarket parts are few and far between and are pretty high..., and it rains, a lot. We've got an open station Massey 4270 with an armless universal seat and the cushions are...

The one set of front wheel bearings disintegrated on me today on my Kory hay wagon (6672). Does anyone have a part number so I can pick up a set at the parts house? Or can you tell if just any tapered 1 5/8" bearings will work? Thanks in advance!

Hey Guys! I have a New Holland 331 manure spreader. I am in need of the PTO drive sprocket that is found that the end of the PTO shaft. New Holland has the part listed at 86837500, but my dealer tells me it's discontinued. My dealer did a part locator search and cannot find anywhere in North...

Last month I sold my Ford tractor and picked up a 1997 5300 from a local farmer. In the last week, it has developed a miss or chug at all throttle positions. I have yet to change the fuel filter, and am hoping that's the problem. Has anyone experience this symptom or have insight on it...

Hi guys! I have a 1986 Ford 3910. Today while mowing, steaming, yellow fluid started streaming out of the vent on the transmission fill cap and around the neutral safety switch wires. I changed the fluid in December, and have been running the tractor ever since. To the best of my knowledge...

I'm trying to help a neighbor of mine with his tractor. It's a 1987 4610. He has eliminated all of the lights and gauges on the tractor, except for the fuel and temperature gauges. He is having a lot of trouble with the voltage regulator, claiming "they keep burning up." (He just replaced the...

I recently purchased a 1986 Ford 3910 to do some minor chores on the farm like feed hay, spread manure, rake hay, and mow pastures. The starter/battery was really weak when I got it. I tested the alternator and it was dead. Because money is tight, I did not replace the alternator right away...

Neighbor of mine just bought an NH 851. Is a solid machine, but makes a loose bale. How do you adjust the bale tension on these chain roll balers?
