Hi Harry, I bought a replacement in the hope that the relief valve was the problem, but cannot see a similar part in the chamber. The service manual shows the relief valve in Fig.231 item 7. My pump seems to match the illustration on Fig 237, which does not have the relief valve as shown in...

OK. but it doesn't help me though. I *have* a MF250, I am not going to scrap it. I've just rebuilt the engine and cannot afford to buy another tractor. I need a tractor, so I need to fix mine. Telling me that they are ***** is something you should reserve for threads asking if MF250's are any...

One thing I can't see in that picture is a pressure relief valve. Does it have one, if not how does it regulate hydraulic pressure?

Thanks massey rider, helpful. 🙄

Thanks. Yes, I have cleaned out the filter once but I think you are right that it would be wise to do it again. Looking at the chamber, there is still some bits and sludge in there. Is it a bad idea to put a few litres of diesel in there are run the tractor for a few minutes as a kind of...

Hi All, I am try to fault find a problem with my hydraulics on my MF250. I have the workshop manual, but I am struggling with the poor picture quality, number of variations and terminology. I've watched youtube videos etc but am still drawing a blank. Basically, neither the lift arms nor the...

I have an 1984 MF250 with a Sankey cab and MF875 loader. The PTO is operated by a lever on the left hand side beside the seat. It doesn't appear to require any foot operated clutch so I guess it must be hydraulic but I have I know nothing about this type of PTO system. Can anybody enlighten me...

I have a 1984 MF250 with Hydraulic assisted steering. I have managed to get the hydraulic steering working again, however, the tractor seems to want to keep going straight on when I turn the wheels beyond the 5 past/5 to the hour mark (12 o'clock being straight ahead). Very severe understeer. My...

I wondered what it is for... I removed the valve assembly to add a third slice. The existing two slices control a FEL, the first is for a single acting ram (lift) and the second is for the double acting ram (curl). Each slice has a rotary control as well as the lever but I don't know what...

I have had problems with the power steering on my MF250. A leaking control valve under the steering wheel and another leak on the return pipe. I replaced the seals on the control valve and replaced an ill fitting cotter pin on the control valve linkage with the correct size clevis pin. I now...

Hi All, Been lurking on here for a while before taking the plunge and buying my first tractor. I have been looking for a while as tractors in the UK seem to be increasing in value at an alarming rate. An awful lot of what has been in my price range has been rust held together by holes. Farmers...
