I've got a MF1533 12x12 shuttle that had to have the hydraulic retrofit kit installed to fix cavitation issues. I'm trying to get some filters for it now and I know the hydraulic filter is different than the original number (6241072M1) because the new one is a reverse flow. I've tried...
I've got an area on my property that we'd like to keep mowed. It's cleared but is a little too rough for a finish mower (the previous property owners used their Grasshopper mower to do it and managed to do quite a bit of damage to the deck). The terrain is a little rough and there are always...
Last year I bought a Woods BH80X to use with my MF1533. I've had a million things going on and finally got a chance to assemble the backhoe last week and start using it. I love the thing but need to figure out a good way to store it. The manual mentions setting it on blocks but I was thinking...
Where is a good place to list my Markham Grubber bucket for sale? It's almost new, I bought it last year and only used it a couple of times. I have a backhoe on order so I don't need it now.

If you happened to see my post in the safety section you'll know that I've been having absolutely terrible luck trying to rent a backhoe lately. I've been considering buying one for my 1533 but I'm not sure what to look at. People seem to like the Woods BX-80 is that the best to go with or are...
I had a bad experience last night with a L35 that I rented. Luckily I'm ok. I posted about it in detail in the safety section. Here's a link to the post if you'd like to read it http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/s...33#post1416833
It seems all of the safety devices on this tractor was missing...
I have a tractor but no backhoe so we occasionaly rent one when we need to do trenching, etc. I rented a Kubota L35 for the weekend. To be honest it was really rough and I probably shouldn't have taken it but there's nothing else available in this area that's in any better shape. It's got...
I've done chain link fencing before but I've never worked with woven wire / wood posts. We've got 20 acres that we are going to start fencing over time with a 4" square goat / sheep fence. I was searching on the net for some good websites with woven wire installation info but didn't find much...
I'm having my first problem with diesel fuel in cold weather. In August we bought a drum of diesel and I added Power Service to it but probably not enough to compensate for it not being a winter fuel mix. The temp today was about 29 and it's been down in the teens at night. This evening I...
I want to get a landscape rake to use on my Massey 1533 (33 HP). What size should I get? I'm thinking either a 6 or 7 foot rake for that size of tractor. My 6' box blade clears my tractor wheels by 5" or so on either side but with the landscape rake being able to be used at an angle would I...
I recently had a dealer install factory rear remotes on my 1533. Over the weekend I was finally able to test them. The mechanics at the MF dealer told me that the operating levers for the rear remotes were spring loaded to center. I read the installation manual and it also says the levers...
I've got a Massey Ferguson 1533 and last week I had dual rear remotes installed on the tractor. Prior to having the remotes installed I was able to park the tractor with the FEL raised and leave it that way for a few hours. I don't know how long it would stay up without power because 3 hours...
How many of you that own Massey compacts actually have a local dealer that actually knows something about your tractor and has a service department that actually knows how to service your tractor? In my area the dealers know very little about the compact line and it seems that their mechanics...
I just ordered a Top-N-Tilt kit from Fischer Mill in Oregon. I should have it the end of next week and setup by the weekend. I'll post some pictures and give more details after the kit arrives.
