I'm looking at 1985 4610 mfwd syncromesh. I'd much prefer the constant mesh tranny as thats what I've already got with my 5000 and 5600. What are folks experiences with that transmission? Everything seems good, it has the H pattern column shifter and not the "Rubik's" shifter. Are there any...

Hey folks, So I'm having a leak out the air vent on the top of my power steering pump. Any have this happen? Before I crack it open wanted to see if I could get any advice. Is there a seal/filter to keep liquid in but allow air out that needs replacing? I have a picture but dont know how to...

Hi all, Trying to slide the axle out on either side of my 5000 have the tie rod bolt and the positioning bolts out. But it wont move. Anyone have any experience or suggestions? Thanks.

Is there a way to find out the exact year of my 5000 if the serial number is missing? It looks like it was ground off at some point but not on purpose.

Hey all, I'm thinking about investing in one of these: Weasler Universal Friction Clutch, 1-3/8 in., 6 Spline Both Ends at Tractor Supply Co. for a few implements that blow through shear bolts (rotary mower, snowblower). I like this one as it slips onto the output shaft of the tractor and the...

If you had to choose what would you go for? I have a 5600 already and love it but am looking for a second tractor. Don't need nothing but the same really. Your thoughts are appreciated.

Hey there, So it's winter and it's time to tackle some things that I just don't have time to deal with during the rest of year. I have one set of remotes on this tractor and for some reason one outlet is very slow. It's the same on any implement I use even when I flip the hoses coming off the...

Does anyone own a Massey Ferguson 424 grain drill and have the manual? I bought the drill last year but it didn't come with the manual. Thanks.

Hey all, I was using the tractor yesterday to plow up a new field and then I had to stop. As I was driving back to the shed it started throttling up on its own a few times and the fuel gauge dropped to almost empty (it had said closer to half full while plowing). I parked it. This morning I...

Does any one have any experience or thoughts on whether it is possible to use the auxiliary service valves for a FEL? My 5600 is not outfitted with a 'load monitor' system. Based on the circuit diagrams it looks as if those outlets are connected to the 3ph lift controls but I'm not 100% certain...

Hey folks, I'm looking at two tractors: Massey Ferguson 175 1800 hrs. No Multi-power. Selling through a dealer about 45 min away. Canopy. That's about all I know. $7900 Ford 5600 5900 hrs. One owner who lives 3 doors down from me. Retired dairy farmer. Always stored inside. No cab/canopy...

Anyone know anything about these tractors. There is one for sale in my area and it would be great for tight spaces on the farm, but my biggest concern is parts availability. Any info would be great. Thanks.

So the unthinkable happened... I was replacing the u-joint on one half of my pto drive shaft and as I was installing the 4th cap, one of the bearings fell out! I can't find it anywhere. The different dealers in the area only have the whole spider to sell not just a cap or even better the single...

I posted earlier about a flailmower I was looking to buy and well I've bought it. I need to replace the entire pto shaft but cannot get the yoke off the gear box shaft. Has anyone done this and can they help me out? It's a Mott 72 6 foot flail mower.

Hey, Brand new to the forum. I've read lots but just registered. I'm looking to buy this mower as the price is right ($300). It needs a new bearing and probably some new knives but other than that looks good for what I need. Can anyone tell me what make it is so I can determine parts...
