Bought a Massey Ferguson 1260 tractor a few months ago only to find out the head is cracked and unfixable. Having a hard time locating a new cylinder head. Any suggestions where to go?

I have a mf 1260 from auction . Was never used as a tractor. Nothing on the 3pt was ever hooked up or used. The lift arms are all the way up. Fo I need to put something on the 3pt to get them to lower????. What are the 2 3pt levers rt of driver seat for? One or left and right lift arm? I'm...

Where do you find the place to fill up the hydraulic fluid?

I have a 1260 up north. I need to build a boom pole for it. Anyone have one that could give me some dimensions for the rear mount so i can start building the boom pole. Was going to make it out of 2x4x1/4 tube. I need the pin/bolt size and width at the rear where i would mount the boom pole.

Hello all, We have had a Massey Ferguson gear drive tractor in the family for years without issue. It has sat for a while until recently. It has a newer battery on it, and will start very well if I jump from the battery to the starter However, when I turn the key and try to start it (engage...

Hey folks, Have a question about my Ferguson 1260. Past two winters we have a a low power/no power issue with the tractor in the colder weather. The tractor has a working block heater and starts without a hick-up. I allow adequate warm up time before use. After a few minutes of driving around...

Hey guys, I am going to be converting my 1993 Massey Ferguson 1260 from turf to R1 ag tires. The turfs are 212/80 d15 and 355/80 d20. I already sourced the 11x24 rear rims and centers. I spoke with the dealer and they said the 7x15 front rims I have would be suitable to put an ag tire on to...

Hello, I need to repair a friend's Massey 1260. I think it is a copy of an Iseki compact tractor but don't know which model. I am tearing the engine open cause my friend bought it non working but with no pr馗ise clue from the former owner about the disorder : "the engine has a problem and should...

Had a brush fire back in April. Burned up my 1260 and my old International that I think was approximately 400 years old. I've checked your typical classifieds/sales sites. Found plenty, but nothing quite right. Looking for under 1,500 hours, 4wd (if that model even came in 2wd), FEL (not...

hi all, I was asked to look at a friends MF 1260 diesel. It's not starting when cold. I'm not very experienced with diesels. The engine has 3 glow plugs connected with a bar that runs across them for power. We tested for power at that bar and had battery voltage when powering the glow plugs...

Need a complete front axle for a 1994 MF 1260. Pretty sure the 1240, 1250, and 1260 models used the same axles. Not sure of what years were the same. Bridgeport, West Virginia.

I am looking for a radiator for my 1986 Massey Ferguson tractor. I would prefer to find a used one in good condition.

Hi All, This morning the tractor would not start! Just some clicking sounds maybe from the fuel pump and some sound like a marble dropping but, nothing from the starter. There are 3 wires going into it, one big one from the battery with a smaller one attached to the post, and one that I think...

I have a MF 1260 bought new in the 90's and recently bought a used woods 750 back hoe, that is mounted on a sub frame... the seller thought it was from a mihindra, but didn't know... I do know the frame doesn't match my tractor and from previously reading here using it on the 3 pt isn't the best...

The engine will not shut off after the key is switched off and key is removed. I have replaced the switch and still have the same thing. Have to stall the engine (pop the clutch in 4th gear) in order to stop the engine. The key heats the glow plugs and starts the engine fine. Any ideas?

I am looking for parts or a complete engine for a Massey Ferguson 1260 . The engine is a Iseki E3CD-T . Having trouble finding a Cylinder head for it. Any ideas of a good source for parts for this engine. Thank Josh

Hello! I am new to the forum... and to tractors. Just finished my first season as an organic farmer, and I am looking to buy my first tractor this winter. Budget is limited. Here is what I have found so far, would love to get your feedback on the selection - pros/cons, what to look for etc...

I bought a used MF 1260 and the wiring is in bad shape. I know very little about wiring but how hard is it to use a wire harness and rewire? Don

Hello all. I am new to this site and am seeking advice on the best loader to try to find for our MF 1260. I would like to find a used one, but if I had to would consider new. I have been trying to find a MF 1246 fel, but cannot seem to find someone who wants to sell one. If someone on this...

Does anyone have experience using a MF 1260 or AGCO ST40x (equivalent tractors) to move large (5x6 or 6x6) round bale hay? I know that bale weight varies depending on moisture, tightness, etc. so for the purpose of discussion let's say that the bale weight is 1500-1800 lbs. Can the FEL handle...

I have discovered that my FEL (1246) is connected incorrectly on my 1260. The previous owner mickey-moused the connection, teeing into the 3PH/draft control return. This is causing some dangerous interactions between my FEL and 3PH operation (if I raise the bucket and forget to disengage draft...

I just bought a MF 1260/1246 FEL + 9 implements which is being delivered by truck sometime this week-end. I'm going to have to drive the tractor the last two miles since the semi can't get out my road. Problem is I've never owned a tractor (I've rented a few but it's been a while) and I don't...

Hi from Canada, just joined the forum. Recently inherited 332 acre piece of land the hard way; father-in-law suddenly died, and took all his experience and know-how with him. Had to move from city apartment to the new cottage/ farm. The land comes with two tractors, a couple of implements and...

I have a Massey Ferguson 1260 with a 3 cyl Iseki turbo deisel engine. The engine has a cracked block from a hard impact with the bucket. I guess these tractors weren't made for many years and I'm having trouble finding a block or engine. I understand the MF 1260 is very similar to the Iseki...

Looking to confirm year and HP of a MF 1260. The serial #is a H - H 1005. Also would anyone have a link or a copy of the owners manual? Thanks In advance.

I have a MF 1260 and I want to install a single spool remote to drive my new Markham grapple. Anyone have any ideas where to start looking for a compatable kit? WRLong doesn't have a kit for my tractor. Thanks.

Hi all, The 1260 now has 480 hrs. The other day I was driving and it seemed that the power assist was lost. I checked the fluid and it was good. You can see the fluid move in the reservoir tank. It still has a little assist but not like before. Do I go after the steering box and check for a...

I am planning on changing the transmission/hydraulic oil for my MF 1260 tractor. The owners manual recomends Permatran III, which is very expensive, or SAE 80 GL4. The local oil company does not have the fore mentioned SAE oil but does have SAE80/90 GL5. Would this substitute oil be okay for...

Hello all. This is my first post. After months of looking and reading, I recently bought a nice used 1260 with fel and thus far am pleased that I think I bought the right tractor for my needs. I really appreciate all the great information I was able to obtain here in TBN. After the holidays, I...

I'm looking at a used mf 1260 with about 150 hours. The price seems good at $10k, but I'm wondering about the capabilities of this little machine. The specs say that it has 31 h.p. at the PTO and weighs about 3100 pounds. Its four wheel drive and has a 16x16 transmission. I'm wondering if...
