    601 Workmaster steering

    My 59 641 turns much sharper left than it does to the right. The toe in is correct. It appears the sectors are not aligned correctly. Short of removing the steering is there a way to match them

    MF-65 Power adjust rim clamp

    I have a 59 MF-65 diesel with power adjustable rear rims. I'm pretty sure they are not the originals because the rails are different on one side. A little research shows these were popular in the late 50's and 60's on many tractors. The clamp lock is drilled differently on the rims I have and...

    Flail Mower  Sealed bearings vs grease bearings

    Im changing the cutting drum bearings on my JD 25A. There are grease fittings on the 4 bolt bearing housing but both bearings I removed were sealed bearings. This is an older mower so they're probably not original. My local JD shop is totally unfamiliar with flail mowers (northern NM). The...

    B8200 starter circuit schematic

    I'm working on a B8200 for friend. Would not start. The starter was shot, like it got jammed in the flywheel and "cooked" it. He got me a new starter so I bench tested first successfully. Once installed it wont start from the key switch. Tried jumping the solenoid and it engages and turns...

    Need a boom cylinder(s) for FEL

    I've been having trouble with my FEL since reinstalling it. The boom would lift extremly slow, if at all. After replacing the diverter valve and then the selector valves I finally found the problem. The right side cylinder was bent. The boom cylinder looks to be 2" ID and about 42 inches...

    What size PTO pump for my FEL

    Ready to start seriously looking for a PTO pump for the FEL on my MF-65. I'll also be replacing the valves (due to a small crack) and adding QDs. So the question is how many GPM do I want? Tractor has 40+ HP at the PTO and is diesel.

    Flail Mower  Cutter shaft bearing failure for a Vemco Flail Mower

    My Vemco T72HD flail mower had a cutter shaft bearing failure. I used it about 10 hrs since getting it, greasing the bearings 4 times during this period. The right side (away from the pulleys) is what failed. Pulley side is still good. During disassembly I noted the housing for the failed...

    MF 65 Diesel Tachometer connection

    I'm trying to sort out if I have the right tach cable hookup for a block connected tach drive on a 1959 MF65 Diesel. Pictures show the cable end, the drive gear inside and the block connection. It seems I'm missing a piece to connect the cable to the drive. My closest Agco dealer has been...

    MF 65 power steering reservoir and air inlet reservoir(?)

    I found a pdf of a diesel mf65 online. On page 38 it says the reservoir holds 3.5 pints of Type A ATF. On page 3 it shows the reservoir in front of the fuel tank and behind the air filter. My tractor doesn't have this reservoir. It just has a plug on the top of the pump. Anybody else have...
