Its dripping fuel off what I think is a banjo bolt on bottom of pump onto oil filter below it. Thought it was coming from inspection cover to the left but after cleaning...

    I bent the PTO shaft while bush hogging this spring at a remote piece of property. My dumb a** forgot to bring the shaft home with me so I could order a new one. Is there a standard size for these? Would like to have the new replacement in hand when I return in a couple weeks. Its 8 hour drive...

    Getting ready to replace the fuel filters on an older MF 240. According to Agco online parts manual both filters are the same. Is this correct? Just assumed they would be different micron ratings like most primary/secondary setups. Anyone ever replace this setup with spin on filter heads? Looks...

    Trying to install parking brake on my 245 that was missing it. Setup is nothing at all like my 150. Anyone have a pic of theirs that that could post? I'm including a pic of my 150s brake, and a pic of the 245s replacement park brake kit. Can't seem to get it on right.

    1530 issues

    Picked up a non running 1530 with a 143 loader. Got it running and have a few issues I wanted opinions on. 1 Hydraulic pump making a lot of noise when not under load. If I turn the wheels or operate the loader noise goes away, but immediately comes back when not in use. 2 Thought fluid might...

    JD 40-U transporting question

    Found a nice JD 40-U that I plan on buying. Anyone know if it will fit on a Uhaul car hauler trailer? They can handle up to 5900 pounds so weight is not an issue, just wondering if the deck is to wide for the tractor. Anyone done this before? I hauled a MF 135 with one of these and it worked...
