Hi everyone, just thought that I would say a few things about my Massey Ferguson 2615, first of all I bought the tractor new 11-10-12, reason for buying a MF was mostly because my dad bought a new MF 253 in 1989 and it has been a very good tractor with over 5000 hrs on it now and not very much has ever had to be done to it, it still has the original clutch in it, well I guess they don't make them like they use to. Anyway about the MF 2615....about the first thing as soon as I started using it the seat was about to fall off went to tighten up the seat and found that if we tighten up the seat it was going to pinch the hydraulic lines so we had to make a plate to raise up the seat a little bit. Next thing, when tractor had about 20 hrs on it all but one of the bolts came out of the front of the drive shaft (oh yea i forgot I had to replace battery because the one it came with was causing the tractor to over charge and leak all over everything) so I got longer bolts with lock washers and locktight for front and back to put drive shaft back in. Then, I was going down a steep hill once and it ran out of fuel not big enough sump in fuel tank, so at 120 hrs on the tractor yesterday I thought I would check the drive shaft bolts to see if they were still tight and everything was good there, so for some reason I thought I would check the oil pan bolts so I reach over only with a flat screewdriver and touch one and the thing moves, so got a wrench and tighted all the oil pan bolts also found the bell housing bolts were not very tight or the trans to rearend bolts either......but with all the things wrong I still like it just hoping it will hold up in the long run.... it does start when it's real cold better than the 253 ever did.
