    MF165 Problems after lift cover reinstall

    Ok. Worked on the tractor tonight. It's working correctly. Mostly. LOL. The position and draft levers rides in the quadrant and pick up some rollers. Well tonight I relooked at everything. Turns out that the position looked like it was in the correct position but it wasn't. It needed to go into...

    MF165 Problems after lift cover reinstall

    Once I had the lift cover installed I filled it with oil and left the side cover off and started it. Draft raises and lowers the lift arms. Position does not move the barrel forward.

    MF165 Problems after lift cover reinstall

    MF165 Problems after lift cover reinstall

    So when I took the lift cylinder off the lift cover I did it without the manual. As a result the two big springs went flying and the small spring came off as well. I watched a as many videos as I could to see how everything went back together. So when I installed the lift cylinder everything...

    MF165 Problems after lift cover reinstall

    Hi, I pulled the lift cover on my 1967 165 Massey to put new rings into the lift cylinder. I also added a replacement relief valve in the tractor case. When I put the cylinder on I thought I got the position and draft control lever arms in the correct positions (based on the manual). The...
