I've got a 2003 Chev 2500, with about 220,000 miles on it. So far, I've changed a wheel bearing, the starter, and 2 fuel pumps. It just keeps running

I have picked up a shop manual, but it says there were 3 types of pumps used. I don't find it helpful except to show how to remove and repair the pumps. No filter numbers to order parts, etc. As I live 2 hrs away from the nearest dealer supplier (and its not a MF dealer). I'll look for another...

So I finished haying. There is just one cylinder in the center. I grease the spindles on occasion throughout the year (as I don't use the tractor very often). In low 3rd gear on high idle (14-1500 rpms.), it turns fairly easy. On low idle and high gear, I can barely turn. Blocking it up off the...

Thanx, I'm right in the middle of baling my hay, but should be done today. I'll check the cylinder and get back to you, (hopefully tomorrow)

Hey all, I have an older MF 265 that is very hard to turn a tight right, but will turn to the left reasonably easy. I have added fluid to the pump a few times in the past. Often it steers okay turning in either direction when I first start the tractor up. Makes me wonder why I can turn left so...

Hopefully these pics show what the pump looks like. My finger is pointing at where the slight leak is. I can't find any other markings on the pump, except the attached metal tag in the original post.

Looking up what you said about it being a Hypro pump, it does resemble one of them. I've got to go to a family 90th birthday for the next couple days, but when I get back I will take/attach some more pics. (It's about a 5 hr drive away)

Hey all Not sure where to post this question, but here goes anyways. I'm trying to locate a manual for a Dynesco P15 diaphragm pump we use when we burn our fence line. (My dad used to spray his fruit trees with it until he moved). Anyways, it has developed a very small leak, on what looks like...

All my dad ever used for his garden was aged horse manure, that he dug out from the bottom from the barn, (well compacted and almost black), roto tilled it in. He grew a large garden, with huge tomatoes, corn, and 8 ft corn stocks. As kids, we were the shovel operators, and he was the...

I've been collecting tools for over 40 years. Bolt taps and dies from 1/4" to 1", pipe hand threaders 1/4" to 2", wrenches up to 2" and a 3/4" drive socket set. I have more bolts than I'll ever use in this lifetime, (with nary a nut that will fit ANY of the afore mentioned bolts, buckets of...

Thanx bhdshfz6 Problem is my Massey is a 1976(?) model, long before 'them there fancy tractors' all you guys got now. I'm happy it has a cab type r.o.p.s., with a heater for the -30 winter snow plowing days (and the windows open for the +90 deg. haying days) lol. The rear remotes are used for...

As I understand it, the bottom pin hole should be used when hooking up to ground contact implements (plows, rotovators, disc's, etc) The middle pin hole is for things like Bush hogs or fertilizer spreaders, etc. Offhand, I can't remember what implements the top pin should be used for. Of course...

The guys building their equipment in this video makes me think of how all our farm implements were made, back in the day, before everything was being mass produced. (Sorry guys, didn't realize the video would be copied again in my reply)

We have a fairly large shale slide area on our property. If we need a load, I just go over and get a load. If we need a lot, we have a friend with backhoe and dump truck. There is a deal with him that we get the driveway done every couple of years, and he has access to it anytime he wants it

A hot shot is when you have an ordered part/tractor/hose, (whatever), picked up and delivered to the requested destination, often for a raised fee, for instant delivery to said destination

I'm also from southern Interior BC. I've got a 1975 Massey Perkins diesel (with no glow plugs), that is parked outside. I plug in my block heater for 2 hours, when it gets to -15C when it's time to plow. It always starts, as long as the battery is fully charged. If battery is weak, 30 min. with...

Yes, I have changed the lock washers (a couple of times, since it fell off the first time). New bolts and washers too, as well as chased the threads with a bottoming tap, to try and clean any grease/dirt out of the threads. Am thinking the constant plunger force (packing the bales) are just...

That sounds like a good idea. Will try retorquing a few times after some heat cycles. Will also increase the torque as well. Thanx

Well, in the past few times, I've used the breaker bar, socket (with a 4" extension), and just muscle to tighten the bolts. I'm thinking the blue locktite on the bolts isn't sticking because of all the oil, etc, inside the bolt holes. My hose connections on the fel have leaked a bit in the...

I guess I mis-spoke. The thrusting I'm talking about comes from the baler plunger. When the tractor is even idled down when stopped with the pto on, the whole tractor rocks back and forth in time with the plunger. When running at 1500 rpms baling hay, I still feel the plunger action, although...

As far as I can tell, it probably is cast iron. It is a 50 (??) year old tractor, and I just don't want to crack or strip something. I have done so on cast iron equipment at work in the past, and if I over-torqued these bolts, I'm guessing it could cause problems later on. This last cutting, I...

Hey guys, I have an inherited an older MF 265. A few years ago, while baling hay, the draw bar mount managed to fall off the tractor. Anyways, managed to reinstall it and finish baling. Ever since, almost every year, I have to check the mounting bolts at least twice a year to make sure it...

When I was about 8, my dad bought an old D2 Caterpillar with a dozer blade. When I was able to start it with the crank start (he showed me how not to break an arm from a kick-back), I was considered old enough to start, and plow the snow on our steep driveway. It had the lever clutch steering...

Know what you mean about big timers. I'm running a 1970,s MF 265, have a NH 489 swather, a 'newer' Kvernland TA 711 belt rake, and a NH 273 baler (with a sister 273 for back up). They are all running on a wing and a prayer, baling wire, and duct tape. I only have about 10 acres so all is good...

Hi all. My brother inherited our fathers Kubota L245DT tractor. He would like to get a FEL that would mount on this tractor. There is only a 3 pt hitch for hydraulics, but he has located a pto drive hydraulic pump system. What makes of FEL's out there might fit this tractor, and would the pto...

Hey all. I've acquired a used PZ 2000 belt haymaker rake. I've replaced a couple of connection rods, so all turns freely. Working on the PTO shaft, the telescoping shaft is frozen (with rust I'm sure). I've tried penetrating oil, heat, put a piece of pipe through the u-joint and hammered on the...

Hi all, I have a late 70's Massey Ferguson 265 that has a pto issue. The pto won't stop turning . It engages well when I use the lever to put the pto in gear to run my bush hog, baler, swather, etc. When I disengage it with the lever, the pto does disengage, buts when I stop running the...

Hi all, Have an older MF 265 with cab (ROPS) that has a door issue. Due to a day the PO drove into an unseen hole in the field, (highways cleared out a culvert entrance that had 'filled in', the door sprung open I guess. Ever since, the door never closed properly again. When I got it, I could...

Hi all, newbie to the Kubota forum. I have an older B6200E Kubota I inherited from my father in law about 8 years ago. It was used pretty regularly when he had it, mowing between the rows of Christmas trees. As we no longer have the trees, it has been pretty much just sitting, used occasionally...

Hi all Have a late 70's MF 265. To my knowledge fluids haven't ever been changed. Want to change out the power steering and hydraulic fluids and filters. Have downloaded a service manual for this beast, but it doesn't state what grade the hydraulic oil or power steering fluid should be to...

Hey all, I've finally figured out a cure for my ignition fuse issue on my MF 265. History: -started blowing the 20 amp ignition fuse. Found it right after finishing cutting/raking/and baling my small hay field. - dismantled my tractor dash as much as I could (because of cab on...

Hey all, Last year, while baling a heavy crop of alphafa last year, I managed to throw a shear pin on the pto. So, carrying on I changed the shear bolt, but being rather new to baling and this machine, I forgot to put the needles back in the home position. And anybody who does a lot of hay...

This (hopefully) will show the wiring diagram I'm using. There is only 2 fuses, and the one blowing is the one off the key.

Hi all, the ignition fuse on my 1970's MF 265 has started to blow. I realize I'm looking for a wire that is grounding to the body somewhere, and there aren't a lot of wires on this tractor. I've spent about 4-6 hrs. going over the wiring to no avail. (This tractor does have a cab which does make...
