Hi folks, just to give an update from last year when I had my loss of power issue. So as you know my dealer changed my 3 injectors last fall. Last week was my annual bush hogging of my fields (first time since the issue) about 5-6 hours straight of pto speed throttle. Temperature was a bit...

I don't know if these injectors are from a common source for multiple brands of tractors. Maybe it's just mental, but having a black cloud in my mind of a possible 8k repair in 4-5 years bugs me a bit. @TopSpeed1 I don't know if colder temperature will offset a possible issue, but from now to...

So my tractor is back from the dealer. Basically what they did is put the tractor on the dyno and observed a drop in engine power after the tractor reached higher temperature. PTO hp dropped from 30 to 20 hp. They first changed both fuel filters put it on the dyno again, same results. Test...

I work for an excavation company and they were supposed to took care of transport for me, finally too much last minute machinery move made transport impossible before dealer closing hour. Didn't have much time left before warranty end so decide to road it saturday morning. 15 miles on secondary...

Update from my post of July 25th. Been busy at work didnt had time to took care of that problem since now. I road the tractor to my dealership 15 miles from home. They put it on the dyno and were able to recreate the problem. They came with the conclusion of bad injectors. New ones are ordered...

Glad or not so glad I found that thread. I have a 2019 Massey 1740M with 860 hrs on it. So far I was satisfied with it, never had problems. Bushoging, discing, box blade, logging, snowblowing and lot of loader work it have been a great workhorse for me on my 35 acres. Yesterday I was bushoging...

I thought the No DPF thing was only on the 1700 series (Shibaura engine) before it was replace by the new 1800 series (Iseki engine). I run a 5 foot bush hog on my 1740m and it never really bug down so probably a 6 footer will work just fine. I'm at 630 hrs on the machine and it stills runs...

Hi, Just did my second hydraulic fluid change on my 1740M 3 days ago at 580 hours. I know exactly what part of the manual you are talking about, its pretty confusing. I asked the dealer when I did my first fluid change and they told me I have only 2 filters to change. The vertical " Spin-on"...

Yander is right. I have a Massey 1740M with the Shibaura getting close to 600 hrs, they changed for the Iseki when 1700 series became the 1800 series. They both seems to be good engines.

I was thinking the same thing

And now Chevy/GM, Ford or Ram ? I always found those debates pointless since any brand can be a nightmare for some and a charm for others.

Cheap and fast. I'm a construction surveyor too working with machine control everyday and sometimes the good old methods are faster and hassles free. Laser, stakes and string works wonder to shape a pad.

I had a 1985 MF254 before trading it for a little 1740m. With a skidding winch it was a heck of beast in the woods. I traded it cause most of the logging I had to do on my lot was done and I started opening driveways in winter and theres no way I was going out snowblowing without a cab and...

So I removed the gearbox this morning. Theres no slop at all at the gearbox mount. Actually I had to hammer it with a wood block to get it out of there. The 4 bolts holes are in good shape too. Bearings are good shaft is straight... I dont know what's the problem. I might just call the dealer...

I blew a split of soft wood with my Normand Econor E72-240 and a small kindling got jammed between the impeller and the housing. The tractor stalled right away without breaking PTO shaft shear bolt. After I managed to remove that stucked piece of wood, impeller is now rubbing on the bottom of...

It was -25C this morning when I did my snow removal run. The tractor heater was plugged all night before startup and I let it idle about 20 mins before going out to do my neighbours driveways which took me about 1h30. I let it idle again when I came back home while I was shoveling my front...

Si I finally got times to fix shorten my chains. I cut the extra section there: Chains end there: Welded those together Thats what it looks like after install : Looks alot like what Hilbilly did with his chains. Was tough to make a pretty weld around these twisted links. Whats...

Hi TBN community, I bought a Massey 1740m last month to replace my 1985 MF254. I started the snow blowing season on bare tires but some of the 7 driveways im doing have pretty steep hills so today I decided to install the Trygg chains that I bought with the tractor. Putting them on with the...
