    Ferguson tach

    My "Co-Grandfather" ordered what he thought was a speedo for his M-F compact tractor, only to find a Ferguson tachometer in the box. He gave it to me thinking it might be a good spare for my M-F 1440 - but of course of no value to an Iseki. Case is 3 1/4" OD, rear clamped. I can't put pic...

    More 1440 Unpleasant Surprises

    Mine has been apart for a month+ while I got block and head tanked, cylinders honed 0.001" over and head planed - then chasing parts with M-F here and Iseki UK - ended up with an engine kit from Global. Engine (Iseki E3CD-T) has only 423 hours, so I had planned on sticking the valves back into...

    Sealants:

    I bought an M-F 1440V (Iseki) with E3CD-T engine that had been run without coolant. Minor bore damage, one scuffed piston, all rings fully annealed. Wanted to be sure the coolant passages were clean when hot tanking head and block, so pulled all of the 3/8 pipe plugs out of the head. They...

    Ceramic Clutch Discs?

    I have been through the wringer trying to source decent price and available parts to rebuild the E3CD-T in my M-F1440V - and after a month or so (see my posts in M-F forum IIRC) think I am ready to order final lot and put it back together. With a mighty 420 hours on the clock I would not have...

    1440V & E3CD-T Parts

    I bought a 1440V with 400 hrs. and coolant into engine - found head warped 0.004" around center cylinder of E3CD-T and obvious where water went (into #2 cylinder). I remember him bringing it home new 21 years ago, so forgive me if my rapidly advancing age sees that as "just a little while ago"...

    What Fittings on M-F 1440V??

    Will ask same on Iseki forum, but since we HAVE a hydraulic forum... Need to pull engine and steering cylinder on my 1440V (rusting under chrome plate of ram) so grabbed a JIC 3/8 cap and plug. Duh....they don't quite fit! What standard are the hydraulic fittings made to? BPS???? and if...

    Crossover Model Numbers?

    How do I cross over M-F model numbers to Iseki? I have a 1440V that was run dry of coolant, so will need some internal engine parts. To do that will need parts catalogues and workshop manuals. Have the Iseki engine manual (E3CDT) and have ordered MF workshop manual for the tractor, but...

    Review of 4710

    Ran out of time to bring my 1440v into the shop for engine work but need to get gardens ready. So, my buddy offered his 4710 and rotary tiller. It's about 20 kms as the crow flies between the farm where it resides and my place, but road closures and rush hour meant a LOT of extra travel...

    A-C/Simplicity 311GT

    I picked up an if not dead definitely dying Allis 811GT (Simplicity '79-'81) and have done a little reading about the Simplicity A-C deals. This one has been re=powered as an 18HP (as later evolution of same tractor did) but judging by the wear on almost anything moving has a LOT of hours on...

    Cold Start Pre-heating?

    My M-F 1440C with E3CD-T is soon to get its turn in the shop. Reading through the Iseki workshop manual for the engine, there is no mention of what to use and where to put an electric heating element for cold starts. I do my big snow removal with a D5H but it is a bit clumsy around buildings...

    Parts for E3CD-T rebuild?

    I bought an M-F 1440 (not sure what Iseki model this is) with an E3CD-T engine that one of friend's employees ran with no coolant. Suspect only rings and maybe pistons (did not seize - so bores probably good) but darned if I will pay the incredible prices of parts (and in our case horrendous...

    M-F vs. Fendt?

    My best friend has a few small farms that he/we cultivate to feed his herd of horses (usually around 25). We started working with whatever old equipment we could score, but as he became more successful in business he switched to buying new stuff from local M-F dealer. We did try a bit of green...

    Cat vs. Fiat notes

    We have a fair bit of earth moving to do to turn unbroken land into site for shop and home, roads, etc. First thing I bought was a D5H with a 6 way blade, then later a 941 track loader - that turned out to have cracked block. I need the tracked machine this summer, and no time to convert to...

    FEL

    I bought a slightly broken M-F 1440V from a friend, but he was replacing it with a brand new one so kept the FEL and rear mowers. IIRC the loader was an M-F 1466 but I believe that it has a brand-specific attachment system and no "parallelogram" correction of bucket angle with boom lift. So...

    1440V comments

    This year I bought a 1440V from my best bud. One of his employees managed to run it without coolant (leak) and it doesn't run so well any more. I am assuming just rings, but what else should I expect has been damaged? I am in Canada (SK) so where do I get Iseki parts at a decent price...

    Which Iseki is M-F 1440V?

    I have an M-F 1440V that I bought last year with an engine that had been run dry of coolant. So, need to find a service manual and parts supply to rebuild. I see we have manuals here, but where do I cross reference the tractor model and serial to match up with Iseki information? It is a 3...
