I would have to agree & You having both would make You more knowing as far as operating or using both & both have there pros & cons as Hay Dude stated , IMHO I like being able to hall material in the dump truck & tow what ever piece of equipment I need with it one less trip;).

Happy belated birthday:)! I know what You mean buy other pressing projects, It'll be at least another 2 weeks before I wire mine:unsure:? & my mirrors might be in this Friday, Later.

My tractor that I'm putting the mirrors on is used mainly to grade our neighborhood private road & snow removal so there is some vehicle traffic around me when I'm working the road & I'll be able to fold the mirrors in when I don't need them & I use my other tractor in the woods to skid logs &...

Beats turning your head all the time & you can keep your eyes forward while slightly watching the rear implement in your mirrors:cool:, & when you drove a truck for 44 yrs. it becomes natural.

It's in the front & I'm 6'tall & I clear it easy getting off & on the tractor & standing on the ground the bottom of the side brace is 82" off the ground & sets dead center of the steering wheel & I can stand straight up with 2" to spare & that is 74" floor to ceiling & sitting in the seat it's...

It could be a faulty oil pressure sensor,Or sludge build up on the oil sump restricting oil flow :unsure:, It sounds like the Iseki in the past was neglected & not properly maintained, I know You are very busy getting hay in but I would limit the amount of work for the Iseki until some of the...

Can You post any pictures of what your working with:unsure:, Also check out the link bindian posted.

Hey blndian ! Thanks for putting that link up, I was close to ordering the same radio but i wanted to use the brace I had sitting around for 12 years & I'm going to order some side view mirrors to put on the ends, Let us know how the radio works for You (y).

I had a few boats with built in radios & they where always inside the cabin including the speakers , The only radio I had exposed to the elements was the emergency marine radio with the speaker built in & that was somewhat covered under the canvas top & I would always remove it when it was not...

Okay thank You for the reply & I hope You get the weather You need for the completion & You all sure could use a break on all the liquid sunshine You've been getting. I still have not completed the wiring yet on mine even though I did get a little done on it.

Hey Ruud3a ! All is well here in the tractor world! My 1st question is when was the last time You did a PM service on the gear oil :unsure: ? Did You check your fluid level for the trans. & differential, are all your hydraulic connections tight & not leaking & last are your control levers in...

Yea I see your point, & I have a cover that came off the front of one those portable garages & covers the rest of the tractor front to back as well the sides, The portable garage got crushed during a heavy wet snow storm that was at least 2 feet deep & the framing was all mangled(n). But I'm...

I'm guessing your going to put this on your M-F 2410:unsure:? Look at replies from other TBN members & there pictures that should help You with how to proceed with how You want to do your bracing:cool:.

Yes I have used them before & I recommended to one other person for decals for his Snapper rear engine riding mower & I bought a decal set for my 1974 Snapper Comet & they are a high quality reproduction & I'm happy with them even though I have yet to complete the restoration & it was the only...

Hey looks good on a golf cart , but on a tractor when it's hot & you need to get off & on just not practical & I've seen those canvas cabs before no thanks, I'd rather have a real cab a/c, defroster & all the other goodies that come with a full cab, But I do like those mirrors ( light bulb! ) &...

The only thing I might suggest is try & find aluminum brackets & braces & tubing & find a canopy that will work with your rops bar & design everything around it & the aluminum is a weight saver & might be cheaper than metal or steel & use square tubing:cool:.

I think the thing I like the most about these is how durable they are,Yet they are light & they will not crack or dent & the cost can't be beat! If I had done the golf cart top only, The install would have been $75.00 & even though I added led lights & a radio & antenna & the wiring harness it...

There is a place called Dan's Decals that makes decals & reproductions for just about anything.

Have You found a fan yet? & are You still going with a phone mount? I got 3 more days to complete my project & I'm doing the wiring for the led lights 1st & the radio last that was the most expensive part of the whole build, & this radio was the only one I could find with a built in speaker & I...

Thanks Mrsig! I'm going to do the wiring to the led lights 1st & I've got to mount the rocker switch 1st next to the right of the radio & I'm doing the radio last & the radio was the most expensive item on the hole build & actually cost more than the whole build.

Looks can be deceiving coobie, I thought the same thing till I went & checked them out & plastic deteriorates slower than a thin gauge steal rust never sleeps.

That's what I paid for mine $75.00 & if You know 10 tractor owners You would make $150.00 & at $75.00 a piece it is a good price I saw them for $199.00 a piece on E-bay that Wally World was selling , So you got shop around like anything else & there is a size difference & I went with a club-car...

Hey 2fs2ns ! My final grand total for everything came out to $346.00 about the same price as one from a M-F dealer & a little cheaper than a brand new one for a golf cart(y)but that's just for a canopy ,I've got a wiring harness & 2 extensions ,4 led lights, antenna,& a AM-FM/ weather radio &...

Hey Paystar ! I couldn't find a definitive answer on a date or year , But from what I could find I'd say between the mid 70''s to late 70's :unsure:? & I did see where AMF did manufacture them for a few years for M-F & also Snapper is still manufacturing front engine riding mowers for...

Oh! I forgot to send You a picture Of my Snappers , Left to right 74,86,90, & 2012.

The one that needs a seat only is in beautiful condition & the wheel covers look like they are in brand new condition! I just found out late last year that M-F was making riding mowers for Snapper & Snapper is making them for M-F now , The only reason I bring that up is I'm into Snapper mowers &...

Very nice progress! Did not know M-F had crawlers state side, I know You can get them in Italy & it's looking awesome & I like your conviction (y).

Yeah it's a nice clean simple design & I like the way he used all the bed framing & your local You should be able to get a top cheap.

I'm onboard with espacef1fan as far as a M-F 2800 series tractor & a log splitter will tie up the tractor unless You do your wood in early autumn or late summer & I have 2 tractors that way I've got one to dedicated to the log splitter . But IMHO the M-F 2800 would have everything your looking...

Hey 2fs2ns ! Thanks for the reply there are a few places I'll have to checkout nearby, I just hope I can find them at or around that $$$$ amount thanks again & I'm going to put it on the M-F 1526 :cool:.

Hey that looks pretty good! Considering what You have into it, Where did You find a golf cart roof that cheap ? I've been looking for one did you get it out of a salvage yard? & with the frame You could attach work lights a small fan & even a radio :cool:. & that is a nice M-F 1528(y).

This is some of the best footage I could find on the Chemtool grease fire in Rockport IL. CNN - Breaking News, Latest News and Videos & scroll down to energy + environment & I don't care for this network. But it did have the best video on this story.

Hey Fuddy1952! What is being taught is what should not be taught :unsure: ! & it has been going on for over 50 years, But your not allowed to speak the truth & just remember to conform,& I must digress now & chat about our hobby & passion for our tractors ;)! & the few real farmers out here &...

Hey Tucker15 ! did You get a chance to look at that site Vintage Tractor Engineer :unsure: ?

Yes that is true but I look at the label & who they have bought & a example of that was the biggest producer of hams in VA. Smithfield hams I have not bought a ham from them since & that was 5 years ago.

Hey Sonny580 ! LMAO:D:LOL::ROFLMAO:!!!!!!! & they're still teaching tolerance in public schools.

Yep ! & they're doing it with stolen technology from the US & other countries & China doesn't give a :poop::poop::poop::poop:!!!!.

Hey manzer7! Welcome to TBN, I just hope they can manage the increased demand , & hopefully it will be regional shortage & it's not like a off on switch,& there is the question of logistics.

Not saying this makes it any better :unsure: ! But at least we are not where we where 50 years ago & not living in the biggest polluter on the planet, or the 2nd most & look at some of biggest man made disasters in the former USSR & China is no.1 & India 2nd.

Hey gtmtnbkr14 ! Welcome to TBN, I had to check that model M-F out being a fan of M-F , I did see a video from Massey-Ferguson those are a really nice piece of equipment ,But as You stated not to many reviews , You might help if You & your other TBN members post a review here on TBN of these...

The long term effects will be the environment! Chemtool should never have been allowed to open this facility until all the concerns where met & addressed by the residents & not to mention the blatant violations that where going on by the previous operator of this facility!& this will have a...

Hey bmaverick! I hope they have the fire contained,& I'm sure there will be long term environmental effects, & that's scary having that happening in your back yard . I'm sure that this will have a short term affect on the supply chain & may have short term affect on prices on the retail level as...

Will the huge plant fire in Northern IL. affect prices & supplies of grease cartridges for your grease guns :unsure:? This is the largest producer in the USA.

Are You sure ! They do have a manual implement:LOL:. It could be a future EV scut conversion.

Thank You for your reply mvoght!

Hey Tucker15 ! Welcome to TBN , There are no specific clubs to the model M-F 65 only,& this model was introduced in 1957 & they where produced from 1958 thru 1964 & they had a slight bump up of hp in 1960 & as far as a expert You can check out this sight & form your own opinion :unsure:! Vintage...

Hey sounds good (y). Glad to know when it turns out good & it was just a miss reading.

Hey CanDoAttitude ! That sounds great & that is a good start (y)! I hope You can find what your looking for a production run of a dozen years is pretty good for any model tractor , Good luck hunting;).

I run Carlisle radial trail on my Airstream travel trailer & on my dual tandem 18' car trailer & I did have issues with the original Goodyear that came on my Airsteam & those Goodyears where made in China.

Hey ballaterach ! I take it your Iseki TX1510 has a Mitsubishi K3B engine there allot of other items that You might need to check this is a good sight to checkout as far as oil pressure Home - Capital Reman Exchange none of these are expensive but it does list other probable causes of low oil...

Hey mvoght! Have tried looking at a M-F 1526H compact there is a dealer not to far up the road from You ,Where 340&15 come together south of Fredrick Md. on Zion rd. across from the JD dealer & that model You can get with all the features You are looking for & one other thing dealers don't have...

& let us not forget lumber & certain computer chips & fuel.

That's a possibility :unsure:! I'm just not sure if it's cheaper to take it to the dealer & Have them install these features, Or trade the 2018 in for all the the features on a new 2021, & I know I would have to wait for a new one & order it with quick connect loader ,MM PTO & rear remotes & I...

Hey Ruud3a! Did You finish all the PM's on your tractors? & how about the Iseki did You get the fuel system cleaned of dirt & if You did how is she running ? Take it easy & have fun & be safe doing it mate (y).

And that 3 point design was developed by Ferguson in 1928 (y) with draft control, This man should never be forgotten for what he did for the tractor world when You mention the 3 point system& Massey -Ferguson still uses that symbol on there tractors.

Hey vinnyc! Did You ever reach out to Jim Jackson on the problems You where having with your Snapper mower? Anyway I would like to know if You got the mower fixed & what was the problem :unsure:?& hopefully You have been out mowing with the Snapper.

Hey Wagtail ! In the states the real big rig drivers on the CB radio call them a Country Cadillac 10-4! good day mate.

I'm considering trading my 2018 M-F 1526 in on a 2021 M-F 1526H just curious what I would get on it in a trade :unsure:. My 2018 was paid for when I bought it new . But I would like to get one with a MM PTO & rear remotes & these are optional.

Hey CanDoAttitude ! I checked out the M-F 1010 on E-bay & there are numerous part suppliers & the M-F 1010 had a pretty good production run of 12 years so parts should be numerous (y), Check your data plate to see what year the tractor was manufactured & go to tractor data.com & it'll show You...

Hey CanDoAttitude! Welcome to TBN ! With that name You seem to have already given up :unsure: ! I'm willing to bet that You can find almost any part for that M-F 1010 there where several other name plates built on that platform here is a few AGCO, Bolens, Challenger, & White :whistle:. Here are...

Hey bill74sweetman ! Did You ever get the M-F 1526? Or any other tractor :unsure: ? Hope You found what You where looking for.

I hear ya oosik! But from the last job I retired from I was working with frozen food at temps on average of -20! Yes -20 degrees ,So cold to me is a state of mind or as the song goes I'm, Comfortably Numb & that just leads to more lyrics, Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head...

This model only has a few new features , Mainly the skid steer quick attach.

I don't think he will need either being in Northern Fla. what say you 5030 & oosik :rolleyes: .

Hey Crawl ! Those are not actually bad choices ,The Delkor batteries are out of S.Korea & are owned by Johnson corp. & they claim to be the largest battery manufacture in the world in automotive . Thanks for the links (y)! & I'll have to check a few of them out.

The one thing the I/H has going for it is the power plant, Perkins has built allot of engines especially for M-F & people swear by those engines. But You know what your looking for & what your needs are. Good luck on what You decide to do & please let me know out of my curiosity.

Hey Fordman98 ! Glad here You found a tractor that meets your needs :cool:! Even if it's not a M-F:(, Thanks for the reply & have fun & be safe doing it with your Kioti CK3510SE(y).

Hey Manup ! Welcome to TBN , There are several tractor brands that come with a pig tail for a trailer hookup & Have You contacted a dealer with your needs & also IMHO I think might be hard to find a Tractor that can pull that weight without doing the same thing to your lawn as far as ruts...

Hey Fordman98 ! Did You ever find the 1526 You looking for ? & have You checked out the newer 1526H still pretty much the same tractor! But has the quick disconnect for the FEL & there is a video of the new 2021 M-F 1526 on You Tube by V/I . I bought mine new in 2018 & so far the tractor has...

Hey boostmg ! The I/H at $6,000 is already overpriced!Check out tractor data .com they list new at $11,000 something & if those rims are shot :unsure: !That's going be more $$$$ & for that kind of money you could do better on a used Utility tractor & If You wanted to spend that much on one You...

Hey jacktinkers ! Welcome to TBN, Have You checked Iseki tractor site here on TBN ? what year is your M-F 1635 ? You might be able to do a X reference with these other branded tractors that used Iseki engines AGCO , Bolens , Challenger , & Iseki there are other manufactures as well but they...

Hey Crawl ! Have You had a chance to look around at anything else in the battery world ? My newer M-F 1526 (2018) has a Delkor battery in it & it seems to be holding up very well , Also I use to operate power jacks & lifts at work ( Crown ) in temps -20 degrees yes -20 & they used Deka batteries...

Hey boostmg ! The utility tractor class has been around along time ! Did You find out anything more on the Iseki ? What year it was made , What was your view of the condition , & did the owner state why he was selling it ? As far as the I/H goes I was surprised to see where they where...

I couldn't resist Checking out the I/H 484 that's a step up from a compact to a utility & hopefully it's in same condition as the Iseki TS2810 & then You would have a tough decision to make :unsure: . Again good luck & it's nice You have a choice,Have a nice & safe weekend.

I guess it's good to have a choice :unsure: ! Good luck on your decision & will You be able to transport the tractor? Have a safe weekend.

Hey boostmg ! I did see a picture of one on tractor data . com & it is very nice looking tractor & there was a review of one right here on TBN out of the UK & it received a pretty good rating & it list the pros & cons & IMHO I wouldn't make the fact that it's 2wd be game changer & there use be...

Hey boostmg ! I did some more research on the Iseki TS2810 & found out the engine was produced from 1970 to 1990 & also there are several vendors on ebay that offer everything from rebuild kits to oil & fuel filters, As well as manuals! So there are parts available for the engine (y). You just...

Hey boostmg ! If You are really interested in the Iseki approach the seller try& find out why they are selling? Then ask them who are they getting there parts from online or nearby & what is there source for parts & do they have any service records ? Iseki is a very stout tractor & reliable but...

Hey Crawl ! Welcome to TBN I own a 1959 M-F 50 with a Continental gasoline engine I've been using nothing but Interstate Batteries, Farm/Agriculture & I'm on my 3rd set after 22 years & this is just a suggestion ! So I've been averaging 7 years of service out of each battery with out any...

Hey M J S ! how is your M-F 1526 performing? Just curious, I bought mine new in 2018 with out any options & I mostly wanted it to work with my dump truck with fel & 4wd , & to work with my 1959 M-F 50 & this tractor had a big influence in me sticking with Massey-Ferguson & I have had the 50 for...

Hey shaeff ! I totally agree with You & the coil & spark plug wires are merely a suggestion & not a requirement I went that route for higher voltage to the spark plugs & of course they had to be red to match the tractor:cool:thanks for your + input(y).

Hey Rebeldad1 The plug wires & coil where merely a suggestion & not a requirement as I wanted better voltage to the spark plugs & had to go with red to match my tractor :cool:.Thanks for the input(y).

Hey good for You! But You are wrong on the apps. & to make that statement is truly bias & misinformed.

Hey John0829 ! That's to bad for your friend hopefully he has gotten his money back, As they do offer a 30 month guarantee.I run Pertronix in 3 classic automobiles ,1 of my tractors & I've installed them on a boat with a I/O I did sell the boat & the owner is a friend of mine! Not 1 failure on...

And your point is??????????

I did state that a 12 volt conversion is preferable & that it is a good point on the 6 volt & I would hope anybody that uses a vintage tractor would have everything up to par if they where using it on a regular bases for reliable performance & your point on a 6 volt is well taken!

Hey RickB ! Very good point but this will work with a 6 volt! But a conversion to a 12 volt is preferable & this is recommended for working tractors that are used year round for ignition reliability & without ever having to use points again & the price can't be beat by CBS performance they're...

Hey Grant31781! You need to have your shut off valve working, Check your oil level before starting to see if it has risen if it has do not start your tractor & drain your oil asap,If the shut off valve is left open for to long without the engine running it will allow the fuel to overflow into...

Hey bartjoebob ! Have You looked at the new 2021 Massey-Ferguson 1526 ? In the 25 Hp range it has the most HP at the PTO compared to the GC & the fairly new 1800 series but the best thing is they are all Iseki engines.

Hey Grant31781! I take it she is a diesel ? Sounds like You might have debris , or dirt in the tank & it collects where the main feeder line goes to the filter & when your low on fuel it restricts the fuel flow & is your fuel tank over the engine?Next time your tank is is almost empty candle it...

Hey TimberXX I will have to agree with You I run Carlisle Radial Trail HD on my car/tractor hauler & Airstream travel trailer, Never had a problem with them,Wish I could say the same for the original Good/Years that came on my Airstream.

Nice M-F 2706E & You can't go wrong with these tractors! The 1st one I bought used was a 1959 M-F 50 25 years ago & it has the z134 Continental gasoline engine & 2.5 years ago I was looking for a newer tractor to work with my dump truck, needed a FEL & 4wd & I was bias because the M-F 50 is a...

Hey nick190174 ! Check this site out! Tractor Data .com & put your tractor model in ( Massey- Ferguson 65 ) & it will show You what year your tractor is , Based on your data plate :cool: .

The year of manufacture should be on the data plate & also if it was a original yellow it was a industrial model & more than likely with the front end loader. Also they had a production run 1958 thru 1964.& welcome to TBN (y).

I think You be able to find it! But the prices seem a little high:eek:! But as I always say I can fix anything with 4 things, Time,Tools,Manual, &$$$$$$$$:cool:(y).

Did You try looking at Iseki tractors ? on the forums here on TBN , Hopefully somebody in that forum can direct You to a source for your needs for your M-F 1533 & welcome TBN

HereBull IMHO if the dealer is working with You on the issues I wouldn't be concerned, I would be making sure the warranty went into effect upon purchase date usually 5 years & if it had a fresh battery upon purchase & not a 2019 battery & rSCOTTY is correct on his reply about tractors being dry...

Stuckmotor I would have to agree, & he reminds me of a shop teacher when they use to teach stuff like that in school & he's...

Hey Middleriverman! Welcome to TBN :)! Glad to see You here, & this is a awesome site, Looking forward to hear about your newest tractor.

I'm fortunate to live close to the county land fill ! But far enough away & they recycle everything (y)! I keep 4 ,5 gallon containers to poor my waste oil in & a used oil case box to put used oil filters in & 2,5 gallon containers for antifreeze & at the landfill they have 2 large holding tanks...

Thank You for your reply! I did notice the pictures from a earlier post , But I couldn't see how the where mounted because it was to dark ! But they where putting out some excellent light & thanks for the info on the install.

Danbo 56 You can get it at NAPA & it's the correct mineral gear oil & might be able to get it a TSC & that's a nice looking M-F 50 is it gasoline or diesel? this is a picture of my Mighty-Fine 50 1959. Item no. for NAPA GL-1 Mineral Gear oil is NHF 65205 online price $73.34

How are your tractors holding up to those winters & do You have block heaters for them? Also have You put any additional lighting on your tractors & did You install them on ROPS ? :unsure: & did You do a direct battery hookup ?

Have You had the chance to work on your M-F 50 yet ?

You can get them on e-bay (y).

That is the way to do it have at it & take your time, & don't be afraid to do something if you have the time & tools to do it & everything takes longer to do when you try to do it & your mind is telling you that it's easy to do & what is taking so long :unsure: ? I like the Idea of a horn sounds...

Do not get a flush that can do more harm than good! Flushes tend force dirt & shavings into places where there is not a good flow & can block or restrict other passages & heed the advice from other members & don't mention that You put motor oil in & if your close to a pm tell them you want that...
