    Would this tube work for a new tire?

    I need to replace a tire and tube on a MF35. The tire size is 11-28. In the interest of being thrifty I found a tube on Ebay but want to make sure it will work and also that its decent quality. Would this fit the bill? 11.2-28, 12.4-28, 10-28, 11-28 AG Farm Tire Inner Tube | eBay

    MF35 wont turn over, sounds like relay clicking

    So heres one I cant quite figure out. When I try to start my Massey 35 it doesnt turn over and I hear a fast clicking sound (like a relay opening and closing) down in the "electronic" of the tractor. At first I thought it was a low battery which was odd because the battery is only a month or...

    Think I could use a rototiller as a cheap mans Harley rake?

    Like the title says. I have some ground thats not the lawn but not the corn field. I like to keep it mowed but its a bit rough for the mower. I'm thinking I could get the tiller and just lightly kiss the ground and break up the high spots. Since its not the yard and covered in grass some bare...

    Picked up a Hustler Sport.

    Man this thing is a darned mowing machine for sure! Picked myself up a Hustler Sport with a 42" deck. Paid extra for the upgraded engine and got the Honda. I really wanted toe 48" deck but it was just at the ragged edge of my budget and I just wasnt comfortable at that price point. I have not...

    What fluid to use in the rear end of the tractor?

    Ok, so this will make me sound a bit uneducated on my tractor, but perhaps thats the case. Lets try to fix that.... :D My rear seal by the PTO has a slow leak. I assume the fill point for this is one of the bolts by the gear shift level as it would function as the oil in the rear end. My 2...

    What is required after tipping a tractor

    Assuming one of the requirements isnt a mortician..... :p If you tip a tractor over do you just chain up, pull it upright and be on your way? Or do you have to do any maintenance work due to all your fluids suddenly flowing where they shouldnt?

    MF RT630 rototiller cost and quality

    Originally I was going to go with the well regarded King Kutter II 60" tiller for 1699. It seems to be well regarded as a quality affordable unit. Not the best money can buy but certainly not a cheap unit that will fail. I'm curious about the Massey Ferguson tilers. How is the quality? What...

    Tiller  How well built are Massey tillers?

    Anyone have an opinion of Massey Ferguson tillers? Was leaning towards a KK II which I know are well regarded. Curious what the reputation on a MF tiller is....

    Can a 1533 handle a 60" tiller?

    Pretty much like the title says. Thinking of a 1533, how well would it handle a 60" tiller. Seems to be on the real low end of power for a tiller this size and a 48" wont come close to covering the wheel tracks. Thinking of pairing it with a King Kutter II, hence the 48 and 60" widths.

    Lengevity and reliability of various transmission types

    So I'm browsing various tractor brands looking for a supplemental tractor. Right now I have a MF 35 which is one heck of a workhorse. Problem is no loader, no ROPS and no PS. So if I get something newer I can get a loader, PS and ROPS. Call it Dads New Toy since I live too far out to have a...

    HP ratings of MF 35

    I have a Delux 35 and I'm curious what the honest HP ratings are for this machine. Based on this it would be 30 HP Massey-Harris Becomes Massey-Ferguson during the 1950s How ever based on this it would be 32 on the drawbar or 37 on the PTO. TractorData.com Massey Ferguson 35 tractor tests...

    At what point does a CUT tip over?

    Ok first off I realize this is *highly* dependent upon the tractor. Variables such as weight, wheelbase, center of gravity etc etc all come into play here. But assuming one had a tilt gauge on their machine what would be considered a generic "be careful" point? I ask because I have a MF 35...

    Front loader - Ford I9-I18...specs and parts?

    I have a Massey Ferguson 35 with a FEL type "Ford I9-I18". Does anyone know anything about this loader? I cant seem to find any information on it with a cursory google search. Specifically I'm curious to the weight ratings of the loader vs the weight ratings of the tractor. Obviously having a...

    Price Check  Reasonable price for a Land Pride tiller?

    Swung by the local dealership, and frankly I dont think the guy is doin me any favors. Interested in a LP RTA20 - 64". I was quoted 3500. Now I dont mind paying more for a quality product but 3500? Really? I can get a King Kutter II and run it till it snaps right in half and buy another for...
