I have a 1987 Case IH 885XL w/ cab that we have moved into the shop for some winter work. I have purchased a new ignition switch and a new turn-signal switch to try and eliminate some intermittent but increasingly persistent problems with the current switches. I looked in the PDF of the owners...

I am working on the air conditioning on a 1987 Case IH 885 885XL. Down to replacing 2 hoses and the expansion value. I have removed the left side air vent from the headliner and can see the end of the evaporator, the expansion valve, the return line, etc, but they are tucked up in that opening...

I have recently purchased a Case IH 885 with cab that has a Case 2555 loader on it. I went looking for the VIN/Serial number so that I could order some parts. However, I have not been able to locate the VIN plate. I think its located behind the loader frame that is bolted to the tractor on...

I have a Case IH 885 with cab. At some point in the last year, it appears that the hinges on the roof hatch have broken loose from the mounting points on the cab roof. Not sure at this point whether the cab roof is fiberglass, an SMC type, or something else. The cab would have been made...

I have a Westendorf TA25 on a tractor that I purchased used. I need to replace a few hydraulic hoses. I know they are 3/8 with male ends. However, I also know that the generic hoses from Tractor Supply are not the same connections. The ones on the loader do not appear to be standard...

I am "messing" with a MF250 that has a cold weather starting issue. This one has the Perkins 3.152 diesel. It has a thermostart which has been recently replaced and tested to confirm it is heating (non contact thermometer). Still, when its 40 or below it is hard to start. I have not tested...

I have located one of these 6 foot tillers. I have been looking at various tillers in the $2000 to $3500 price range when I ran across this. Gear drive with slip clutch. Intended use will be primarily foodplots and large gardens. However, searching online indicates that there are not many...

I am trying to figure out a symptom on a MF250 with cold weather starting. At temperatures below 35 or so, it does not want to start when cranked. I have replaced the thermostart and confirmed its getting hot. I have a new starter switch. When I turn key to run, there is also what appears...

I am looking at a 3 bottom plow. I cannot find any tag on it or any identification. There is one coulter missing in the photos but it is available. Appears to be complete from initial examination. It will need replacement parts and want to price some repairs first.

Looking at a DK55 with cab with about 500 hours. Apparently, this one has been in the shop a lot with a warranty dispute with the hydraulics overheating whenever the PTO is used a lot such as for mowing. Apparently Kioto factory thought it was a bad joystick and replaced it but that strikes me...

I have had a Massey 250 about 3 weeks now and am slowly working through a few issues. I have ordered a shop manual but it has not arrived yet. With 9 degrees here last night, I determined this morning that the thermostart is not working. It has power to the thermostart confirmed with an volt...

I purchased a 250 this weekend as an upgrade to a gas MF35. Now, I have had a day to start working on some small projects with it. It has had a lot of wiring revisions on the lights. I would like to see a wiring diagram to get it straightened out. For example, no matter which position the...

I have a 20 x 30 storage building that has 8 foot sidewalls and steel siding to the ground on both sides. Interior supports are 5 feet apart and are 3" pipe similar to fencing corner posts that are connected 30 foot angle iron on each side that is used with rebar to anchor the structure. I...

I am trying to design how to mount a snowplow that I have from an Oliver tractor to a Massey Ferguson MF35 tractor. The Oliver had a solid frame which mounted under the tractor but which cannot be readily modified for the Massey. I am planning to make a new frame for the massey. I have seen...

I am looking at either building or modifying a loader to fit on a MF35 (no power steering). I have a few questions: 1) I have seen some with a pump running on a long shaft running in line with the crank. Are those parts available? 2) Does anyone have experience with running a hydraulic...

MF35 - gas - good operational condition but would like to add hydraulics to power some accessories. Most of current use involves a box blade and field mower. I like the tractor size and weight because it tows well on a 16 foot trailer and all of my use requires approximately 1 hour drives...

I am wanting to add a loader to a MF35 Special. Not sure at this point if it is better to look around for one (been watching ebay for about 3 months) or just build it. In the buildit category, I have been looking at some of the plans that are available off of the internet for building...

I have acquired a MF35 (gas) from my wife's grandfather. He purchased it new so it has been in her family since new. Anyhow, I am using it with a bush hog and a box blade. It seems to handle both tasks quite well for my needs and is trailerable with my truck. The problem I would like to...
