    Mowing MMM idler pulley came off

    Mine pops off any time I try and grease the zerk right there. Annoying for such an expensive implement. I regret getting it. The grease even forced the bronze bushing up and out. I had to knock it back in.

    Massey Ferguson 1250 running issues

    Make sure the air cleaner hoses aren't compressing or some obstruction isn't being pulled into the airway. Sounds like it's over-fueling without enough air.

    How to look for a hydraulic level?

    When my oil is new, I can't even see it in the glass it's so clear. If you think the oil it above the glass, lift the loader a little and then recheck. If the level falls within the glass, you're filled above it. If not, you may be a little low. It's a pain. Kind wish it had a dipstick.

    No longer looking for reviews! Bought a 2850M!

    I bet you spend a lot of your free time just looking around and contemplating any reason you can to go put it to work! I definitely did! Any day on the tractor is a good day to me.

    GC 17XX Steering Ram Seating in Tie Rod End

    Scratch that. I don't have that difference on my left front. I'll have to get a better photo of the other side to see if it's like yours.

    GC 17XX Steering Ram Seating in Tie Rod End

    If you're talking about the millimeter tall shoulder on one versus the other, I think when I got a replacement tie rod end for mine, I noticed the same thing. In fact, my replacement was completely painted the chassis gray color while the one I took off wasn't painted at all. I'll try and find...

    Gritty or Groaning Steering on GC

    The oil is a little over a hundred hours old. The levels are fine in the front axle. The sight glass shows perfect fill level, too. Hydro oil still looks very clean-its Permatran 821xl. When I did the maintenance, I replaced the hydro fluid, filters (+oil screen), engine oil and filter, and...

    Gritty or Groaning Steering on GC

    Hey there, Anyone notice a sort of gritty or groaning when they turn their steering wheel? Its actually a new occurrence and I've heard/felt it the last few times I used my GC1720. If I pick up the front axle with the loader bucket, I don't feel it. It feels like I've overloaded the bucket...

    What wheels work with GC1700

    Will a Kubota BX set of wheels work? I'd like to find some wheels and put different rubber on them. Massey SCUTs are rare around me. There are a lot of Kubota dealers and parts. Just curious of a set of take-offs would fit my GC1720

    How far would you drive a tractor?

    At the very least I would have a chase car to act as a buffer on the busy stuff. Have your signage, 4 ways, and whatever beacon you can muster. 15 miles isn't really that bad but it could be nerve wracking. Most cagers are idiots.

    Work light for M-F Compacts & Subcompacts

    You can also just change the bulb inside the incandescent light to an LED. Just a thought.

    Work light for M-F Compacts & Subcompacts

    I just added a switch upstream. It was easy. You can even add your own pushbutton switch at the lightif you really cared. The small amount of effort is worth it. The factory light was inferior in every conceivable way.

    Work light for M-F Compacts & Subcompacts

    My replacement light was $7 shipped. I put a weatherpack connector on it and can replace it 10x before I've paid for the factory light.

    Work light for M-F Compacts & Subcompacts

    Yeah. The LED light I bought is way way brighter and energy efficient.

    Work light for M-F Compacts & Subcompacts

    I just order something off Amazon. I already broke my light. The price of those things, lawd
