I thought the No DPF thing was only on the 1700 series (Shibaura engine) before it was replace by the new 1800 series (Iseki engine). I run a 5 foot bush hog on my 1740m and it never really bug down so probably a 6 footer will work just fine. I'm at 630 hrs on the machine and it stills runs...

Hi, Just did my second hydraulic fluid change on my 1740M 3 days ago at 580 hours. I know exactly what part of the manual you are talking about, its pretty confusing. I asked the dealer when I did my first fluid change and they told me I have only 2 filters to change. The vertical " Spin-on"...

Yander is right. I have a Massey 1740M with the Shibaura getting close to 600 hrs, they changed for the Iseki when 1700 series became the 1800 series. They both seems to be good engines.

I was thinking the same thing

And now Chevy/GM, Ford or Ram ? I always found those debates pointless since any brand can be a nightmare for some and a charm for others.

Cheap and fast. I'm a construction surveyor too working with machine control everyday and sometimes the good old methods are faster and hassles free. Laser, stakes and string works wonder to shape a pad.

I had a 1985 MF254 before trading it for a little 1740m. With a skidding winch it was a heck of beast in the woods. I traded it cause most of the logging I had to do on my lot was done and I started opening driveways in winter and theres no way I was going out snowblowing without a cab and...

So I removed the gearbox this morning. Theres no slop at all at the gearbox mount. Actually I had to hammer it with a wood block to get it out of there. The 4 bolts holes are in good shape too. Bearings are good shaft is straight... I dont know what's the problem. I might just call the dealer...

I blew a split of soft wood with my Normand Econor E72-240 and a small kindling got jammed between the impeller and the housing. The tractor stalled right away without breaking PTO shaft shear bolt. After I managed to remove that stucked piece of wood, impeller is now rubbing on the bottom of...

It was -25C this morning when I did my snow removal run. The tractor heater was plugged all night before startup and I let it idle about 20 mins before going out to do my neighbours driveways which took me about 1h30. I let it idle again when I came back home while I was shoveling my front...

Si I finally got times to fix shorten my chains. I cut the extra section there: Chains end there: Welded those together Thats what it looks like after install : Looks alot like what Hilbilly did with his chains. Was tough to make a pretty weld around these twisted links. Whats...

Hi TBN community, I bought a Massey 1740m last month to replace my 1985 MF254. I started the snow blowing season on bare tires but some of the 7 driveways im doing have pretty steep hills so today I decided to install the Trygg chains that I bought with the tractor. Putting them on with the...
