I need to add wheel space for a Farmall 70A with 4WD. Case IH doesn't carry wheel spacers for these Farmall A utility tractors, so I will have to have them made, and accurate wheel dimensions are required. I measured the rear wheel pattern for the 14.9-28 R1 wheel plate: 8x203.2 mm bolt circle...

The Operators Manual doesn't call out the Workmaster wheel bolt patterns; neither does the CNH parts pages. I was able to measure the rear wheel pattern for the 14.9-28 R1 wheel plate: 8x203.2 mm with 152 mm wheel center bore. The front wheel plate for the 9.5-24 R1 is a bit more difficult...

The carburetor is a Marvel Schebler. My 135 Deluxe has a Marvel Schebler TSX-882, a rebuild kit for it is Standard Motor Products 1302.

Technically, these hydraulic connectors are per ISO 16028 standard. Use "ISO 16028" as your search term, you'll find most everything you need.

Case IH is very good with technical literature. Maintenance should be documented in the Operator Manual. Go to Case IH Document Management Center

ISO 16028 (skid steer) ? I believe there are 6 different body sizes: 1/4" up to 1" (nominal). Also each body size is available in several different thread sizes, so it's important to know the termination on the hose.

I have been using Sinopec L-HM 46 in a log splitter for the last year. No issues down to 36 degrees. I am gaining confidence... Note that Sinopec packages in 18 liter (4.75 gallon) buckets. For our more expensive hydraulic equipment, we use Miles Lubricants (Primex). It's all about the additives.

I used AGCO publication 1448813M1. It is available at: MF-135 and MF-150 Tractor Service Manual. I did not have access to the MFN tools. Instead, I used the figures in the manual to help me determine each tool's function(s) and fabricated ersatz tools/gauges. My recollection is that, as the...

The CNH Tier 3 and Tier 4a Fault Code for DTC 3999 (and also 3000): "Unknown ECM Error Code Received (Retrieve DTC via EASy tool)". Not much help, but better than none ( I hope). Good luck.

I broke down and purchased a Farmall A Service Manual. Below is information for DTC 455-03 (CASE IH 3808). Too bad I couldn't help sooner - better late than never. Be really careful with the high pressure fuel system, the pressure is extremely high. Wear eye protection and never put your skin...

Farmall 50A, 60A, 70A Has anyone had any cold weather issues with the CCV breather on the FTP engine? At what ambient temperature does the CCV begin to clog? I know that CNHI has a CCV heater kit for this engine. I'm trying to understand if/when this accessory is needed?

The piston brake (caliper) should be attached with two 5/16" NC hex bolts. There are variations on the IPTO Clutch and Valve assemblies with tractor S/N 46767 and up being the cut-off. Make sure you order parts accordingly. With the hydraulic top cover on the bench, you should be able to...

Here's a link to a DIY article for adding an implement lamp to CNH Workmaster or Farmall A series tractors: Implement lamp retrofit Cost is far below the DIA (Dealer Installed Accessory) option.

CASE IH always directs customers to take issues/concerns to their dealer, so I emailed our dealer and requested that they contact CNHI and inquire as to how the Farmall 70A should be fueled. I asked for the CNHI written response. Issue: The diesel fuel specification stated in the Farmall 70A...

The question of Ultraction fluid compatibility with Nexplore arose when I had to top-off the transmission fluid in a 2017 Farmall. I called several dealers and received conflicting information so I contacted Viscosity Oil Company who supplies both fluids to CNHI. Viscosity Oil Company has a...

I wrote an article about fuel considerations for high-pressure common rail direct injection diesel engines on LinkedIn. It was written around our 2017 Case IH Farmall, but generally applies to most modern diesel engines. Owners need to be knowledgeable about fuel for these engines: carelessness...

I started a thread in the New Holland forum that details information I was able to learn about this problem: Tractor de-rates to 1500 rpm with no fault codes displayed. In the thread I use the specific issue name and terminology used by CNHI. The Case IH Farmall A series is nearly identical to...

When running a Workmaster/CASE IH Farmall A series tractor (FPT 2.2L diesel engine), the tractor suddenly de-rates to 1500 rpm with no fault codes displayed. CASE IH published a Knowledge Article in Jun-2018 titled "Tractor de-rates to 1500 rpm with no fault codes displayed". This Knowledge...

Last week the question of Ulltraction fluid compatibility with Nexplore arose when I had to top-off the transmission fluid in a new Farmall. I called several dealers and received conflicting information so I contacted Viscosity Oil Company who supplies both fluids to CNH. Viscosity Oil Company...

Here is a link to an article on Fuel considerations for CASE IH Farmall 70A. It generally applies to most high pressure common rail direct injection diesel engines that require ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel.

On the buying-pricing-comparisons forum I have been asked there about how we made our purchase decision and I'm migrating the response to this forum. I understand that the Zetor Major 80 and the CASE IH Farmall 75C are more in the same performance class than the 70A, but Zetor Major 65 wasn't...

I have firm quotes from dealers: Case IH Farmall 70A w/L555 MSL Loader + Rear Weights-> $32500 Zetor Major 80 w/ZL31 NSL Loader + Rear Weights -> $35490 The Case IH dealer is 20 miles away, the Zetor dealer is 103 miles away. Opinions?

I have firm quotes from 2 dealers: Case IH Farmall 70A w/L555 MSL Loader + Rear Weights-> $32500 Zetor Major 80 w/ZL31 NSL Loader + Rear Weights -> $35490 The Case IH dealer is 20 miles away, the Zetor dealer is 103 miles away. Opinions?

FPT makes the 2.2L diesel engine for the Case IH Farmall 50A, 60A and 70A. It seems like they share the same basic engine (bore, stroke, injection). Does anyone know what accounts for the horsepower difference(s) among these engines?

To answer this question: the flywheel timing marks on the Perkins AD3.152 can be viewed by removing the Timing Hole Adapter Plate Plug (rubber). The plug (part #732902M1) is located on the Transmission Adapter Plate as shown:

To answer your question: You will have to split the tractor between the transmission and center housing. On tractors with IPTO (and Multipower), the hydraulic pump package is removed as a unit through the opening in the front of the center housing. You really should have a Massey Ferguson shop...

Here is a link to the instruction sheet packaged with Standard Motor Products #1302: . The detail should help you.

To get the best advice and because there are design variations within the MF 135 line, it's helpful to provide as much tractor model data as you can (serial number is also helpful). Attached is a parts diagram of MF 135 hydraulic lift shaft for models with pressure control. Others are similar...

I agree that the leakage is likely from the transmission input shaft seal. However, be careful to determine whether the tractor has live PTO or independent PTO (IPTO) before removing the the PTO lever cover. If it has IPTO then there are actually two hydraulic pumps (with separate filters)...

This leak is caused by a failure of the pump control valve diaphragm (898254M91). The pump control valve has a weep hole on the bottom of the non-pressurized side of the valve as shown in this photo: ). When the diaphragm leaks under pressure, hydraulic fluid will exit via the weep hole. Here...

It came time for me to replace the tires (13.6x28) and there were rust-out holes in both rims. The original rims are the 11x28 "power adjust" type with 4 rails which use the adjustable ramp locks. The original rim is OEM part 1751395M92 which is no longer available. On these original rims the...

Does anyone know the cause of this leak? The picture was taken when the lift was leaking down. Thanks!

I'd like to replace the hydraulic cylinder piston rings. Is it possible to remove the hydraulic cylinder piston without first removing the hydraulic cylinder?

Repair/Replacement of Hydraulic Standpipe 883788M91 on MF 135 Models with Pressure Control Tractor models with pressure control use standpipe 883788M91 which has a diverter block to supply hydraulic fluid to the pressure control valve. This standpipe cannot be removed by pulling it straight out...

I have a MF 135 Deluxe with IPTO. I believe the 135 and 165 share some IPTO parts. The IPTO system consists of a hydraulically actuated clutch, the enagament of which is controlled by a 3-position spool valve. The clutch drum is splined on to the rear of the hydraulic pump camshaft and the...

Massey 135 Deluxe with IPTO. I have a hydraulic leak between the pressure control tube and the standpipe diverter block. I tried replacing the pressure tube O-ring, but it won't seal. Do the O-ring & backup washer fit into a recess in the diverter or should the pressure tube have a recess for...

I have a Massey Ferguson 135 Deluxe with differential lock. I need to replace the oil seals on the right rear axle half-shaft. The I&T manual warns that the differential lock coupler will fall off and drop into the axle housing when the axle shaft is withdrawn, but two other manuals (Jensales...

Well I repaired the position control problem, but I am not precisely sure about the exact cause. It could be one or more of three things (refer to photos below): 1) the eccentric (rear roller) had become displaced from the position control cam. 2) the front roller (position control) was...

My Position Control is not working. On other sites I have seen references to this issue: speciifcally the position control linkage becoming displaced when the position control lever is moved outside of its normal range of motion. Back in 2004 on a forum in Yesterday's Tractors, Big Dean Austin...

I have a MF 135 with 6-speed dual range transmission (without Multipower) and independent PTO (split torque clutch). I am ready to split the transmission from the center housing (drive axle) in order to replace the oil seals on the transmission input shaft. A quick question: is it necessary to...

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health has placed the following document in the public domain: Cost-effective Rollover Protective Structure (CROPS) for Massey Ferguson 135. This document provides plans for constructing a DIY ROPS...

I was searching for a suitable replacement for Permatran III and I came across Valvoline Unitrac Fluid (http://www.valvoline.com/pdf/hd_unitrac.pdf). It is available through NAPA Auto Parts as part number VAL 813 in 5 gallon size. Note that Valvoline claims: "Meets or exceeds the following...

I'm brand new to this forum. There's a lot of good information and knowledge here. I am going to repair a transmission leak on a MF 135 (1967 Deluxe, 6-sp, Z-145). I assume that when I split the tractor I will find leakage from the input shaft seal. I"m pretty sure that I will also have to split...
