Hello Y'all. Well, if I ever get my 1967 diesel MF running for any length of time I will be soooo happy. Just did a head gasket job on it but now I can't get it moving without it stalling. It will idle forever but when I press on the fuel pedal, outside of ginerly doing it, she stalls. Here's...

Hello Y'all. It's been a few months and I'm happy to report that she starts like a top and runs reasonably well. Now, however, the power steering is building my muscles and every maneuver seems to always involve a turn (That's Murphy's Law applied to hard steering). Any quick advice before I...

Hello All, I'm quite new to my my old tractor. I believe it to be a 70's era MF-40. I have to air bleed the critter (it's a long story) and I have some questions. I have a manual so it's not so much the general process but some specifics. Any help is most appreciated. 1. I am assuming the air...
