G'day Alan,
I appreciate your post was a few years ago . . . but did you find a good manual for your MF 254? I have the same machine but in Australia and need to do some quite serious maintenance and repairs, ie new clutch, new main rear seal and brakes overhaul. I did buy a manual from SSB but it is worse than useless. I have not seen a genuine one any where but they must exist. With best wishes, Chris
Chris,
I don't have an original shop manual. I'm sure there must be manuals somewhere, but hard to find. The manual I have with this tractor is only an owner's manual. Everything I do is trial and error; I take a lot of pictures during disassembly. I'm still very happy with this tractor's performance.

The original service, parts, operator's and transmission/steering service manuals are all still available from AGCO directly. The parts manual is around $50, the service manual around $25 and the tranny/steering service manual is $16 (left out the operator's manual since you have one).

Id buy these in a flash from Agco if I lived in the US Unfortunately they charge something like $140 just to post a DVD to Australia. The local authorised dealer was even worse, about $300 for the owners manual!
Oh well good excuse for another ski trip to Colorado...
