massey ferguson 150

I have a 1967 (I believe) MF150 that started knocking. I pulled the pan an see the the crankshaft is rubbing on the dipstick casting hole. Before I tear it down any further, I'm just trying to get suggestions on what/where to go next to fix it. Everything inside looks good. I'm thinking main...

I have a MF 150 Perkins Diesel engine. I need to replace the battery. What size battery (CCA) would be appropriate for this tractor? Thanks for any help.

Hi I have a 1963 MF 150 and over the past couple years the hydraulics have really seemed to slow down. It's much worse in the winter (to be expected). I have a loader on the tractor which runs off the internal hydraulic pump. The hydraulics also have a "shutter" to them when using them. I've...

Lost oil pressure on my 150 with the Continental gas engine, and after taking the pump apart found the set screw on the smaller gear inside the housing broke apart. Unfortunately, it cut a deep groove into the back plate and scarred the housing pretty badly on the pump itself. I'm going to have...

Hey guys! Yesterday I went and picked up my new to me 1974 Massey Ferguson 150 Diesel. My Great Uncle, who is 91 years old, bought it brand new in 1974 and was the only owner of it. It was his main tractor on his 60 acre horse farm. Anyhow, when we got there yesterday it had been sitting in...

Looking for some help. I recently bought a mf150 and a 6 ft brush hog. Im trying to adjust the cutter for level side to side. The lift link with the screw adjustment is bottomed out as short as it will go, but that side still hangs low. Looking closer I can see the lift arm on the right...

I have a Massey Ferguson 150 probably from the 1960s. What type of antifreeze should I use and where do I add it. Thanks

I'm looking for the round medallions that say 150 for the hood. Anyone know where to find them new or a used set in excellent shape?

I'm guessing the thermostat for a 1964 MF 150 diesel is located under the front of the fuel tank?

I recently was able to buy my grandfathers MF 150 from his estate after his passing. I was able to get the tractor running the other day after changing fuel filters and diesel fuel as he had Alzheimer's and forgot it was a diesel and filled with gas. The tractor has been sitting for some time. I...

I've fiddled around all summer with this thing. Battery dies, I charge, it works awhile then start the cycle over again. Now the battery is graveyard dead so I have to buy a battery either way. I'm pretty sure the generator needs rebuilt. My neighbor just had one done and it was ~$300. I'm...

I have a MF150 and have spent the last year restoring it. I am at the point of rewiring it. The current system used a positive ground, with single wire alternator. Can this be changed to negative ground by just switching the cables? In other words red to the starter and black to the frame...

I am curious to the type of oil (viscosity) and amount that is required to replace the oil in my MF 150 with the Continental z145?

For those of you that have re-wired older tractors, did you go back to the dealer for the factory wire harness? Or did you just run new wires in wire loom? What wire loom, plastic or mesh? Pros, cons? I'm trying to get the lights to work on my Massey Ferguson 150. The wiring inside the...

So I'm taking advantage of this warm December weather and time off work to have a valve job done and replacing a blown manifold gasket. I got far enough to get the head bolts out until the one under the thermostat housing. Anyone have ideas for getting it out without additional disassembly...

Hi all, have read topics off and on here but never had signed up. Anyway, my MF 150 had a stuck control valve which I have replaced. I used the mark 2 valve which is supposed to replace the old though had no instruction on how and I did all this while sick. I remember not turning in the linkage...

would like to buy a massey ferguson 150 tractor-needs to have 28 or24" rearwheels gas or diesel.multi-power ok if its working right-jim

I have mentioned in several other threads that I have an MF150. I don't use it much so I have been neglecting an oil leak for several years, just adding oil each time I want to run it. Recently it has began to leak too much to risk it, literally a quart or two will run out in just an our or...

After 45 years, the carb started leaking on my MF 150 so I thought I'd try to rebuild it myself. This is my first carb rebuild and I'm probably in over my head, but how else does one learn. I removed the carb and took it apart. It was pretty grungy, so I got one of the gallon cans of carb...

Hello, I'm new to this forum and also a new owner of a MF 150, Z-145, Multi-Power, 2391 indicated hours. Bought this tractor in Northern Missouri for $550. It runs but needs work, likely a set of rings. Going by the serial number I believe it's a 1965. Couldn't pass up a running tractor for...

As a follow up on my original thread below. I finally got the electronic ignition installed, it was easy and very straight forward. Unfortunately, the tractor still has a miss. :banghead: It's better than it was, but it's still not right. I'm thinking a bad valve. So it's time to pull the...

Interested in finding out what types of hydrolic systems are available and used with this tractor. Would like to have option for cylinder usage and possible loader addition. Any information appreciated. Seking

I am very close to buying my first tractor and one of my possibilites right now is a Kubota L4330. Lots of bells and whistles at $15,000. I am also looking at a MF 150 with 3900 hours priced at $4750 with no loader. Since I am one of those people with more time than money the MF is much more...

I'm installing a new oil pressure gauge in my tractor and cannot find where the line hooks up. For some reason, the line was cut off at the old gauge, so I cannot follow where it went, and it's no where to be found. The only thing that I can see that may possibly be it, is on the drivers side...

We have a 1967 MF150 diesel that we notice when it is in neutral and running if you turn the front wheels to the left the sound of the engine reduces and if you turn the wheels to the right the sound of the engine increases. I do believe hubby has noticed this when it's in gear and being...

Huh. Watching dad bush hog a little, he dropped a wheel over a hidden stump, started spinning. Going slow, in low 1. Hit the diff pedal, clunk-clunk-clunk -- not terribly loud, but there -- then nothing. Had to pull the diff pedal up manually. Now nothing. Just bought the tractor a month ago so...

I have a 1968 MF 150 with a gas engine and about 2800 hours. It's all original. For whatever reason the past three years, this tractor goes through 2-3 tune up kits a year. I put the new parts on and it runs great for a couple of hours at PTO speed then it starts missing. The spark plugs and...

We are still in negotiations on a MF150 diesel. Hubby and would like to know on a tractor are there any other symptoms of a cracked head. There is no oil in the coolant and no white smoke on a cold start. We are just double checking and need advice, don't want to buy a big problem. Owner did...

I pulled the generator off to get it rebuilt and figured I would replace the belt along with it but it looks like either the power steering pump or the front mounted hydraulic pump is connected and therefore won't allow me to remove the belt what is the easiest way to do this?

Looking at a 7' bush hog but want to make sure it's not too big for my Mf 150

I have a 1967(?) diesel, and need to make sure all my gauges are wired correctly also need to make sure all the lights are ran too, thanks!

I just bought a non running tractor that I'm trying to diagnose and get her back to life. It is a 1967 model 150 diesel, with a freeman loader. Was told it ran when parked due to loader cylinder breaking. For starters I will tell you what has been done. Took off loader for now to get tractor...

Hello Y'all. Well, if I ever get my 1967 diesel MF running for any length of time I will be soooo happy. Just did a head gasket job on it but now I can't get it moving without it stalling. It will idle forever but when I press on the fuel pedal, outside of ginerly doing it, she stalls. Here's...

I have a 1968 MF 150 with a gas engine. The brakes are very stiff and do not stop the tractor well at all. I"ve never been a big guy and I have to stand on them to even slow down. The tractor has operated like this since my Dad bought it in 1978. Are all of the 1 series MF"s like this, or is...

New guy posting here. I have a gas 1968 MF 150 that currently has a Freeman fixed bucket loader on it. It is run off of a valve that sits on the top of the transmission. I want to replace this set-up with an actual front end loader. Locally someone has a loader that came off of a 165 MF and...

Went to look at a tractor today. Let me give you a description Sheet metal straight except for 2" dent in the front cowl, black plastic coming off steering wheel, "ears" that attach rear fenders all broken and rewelded but the fenders excellent, stale gas (perkins gas engine) and it did not...

It is in the Louisville area Craigslist for $3750. Look clean. It is a diesel. Ken Sweet 150 MF Diesel Tractor

I have a 1965 MF 150 with a Perkins AD3.152 diesel. I need to replace the exhaust manifold and the 180 degree elbow that the muffler attaches to. Almost all of the websites I have looked at have the manifold (part no. 734921M1) , but not the elbow. I did find one elbow (part no. 898011M1) ...

Just a post to let y'all know that my MF 150 is "basically" back to working order. My last issue that took so long to overcome was what us computer guys call "User Error." As some of you know, it started with me getting the tractor stuck on Christmas Day and then it turned into an air bleed...

To those of you who have followed the saga of my machine I have some good news and some bad. I managed to get the air leak problem solved to the point where I started the engine. That took a new fuel lift pump and some wrangling with the fuel lines and bushings that went into it. Another issue...

The PS on my MF 150 diesel seems to work pretty well in one direction, but not at all in the other. We've replaced the PS pump & tried to adjust the linkages on top of the cylinder (located in front of the radiator). It seems we can get it to steer in one direction or the other, but never both...

Had a bad Mother's day. I blew my engine. I figure I threw a rod, and it cracked the engine block. I have priced the engine block, and complete overhaul kits, but the machining is going to kill me. Where can I get a used (but good) Gas Engine for my MF 150?

Humm. A first post! I have a 1970 Massey Ferguson 150 with the AD 152 Perkins diesel with about 4K hours on it. I took the top off the injector pump about 1 year ago and replaced the O rings on the two shafts coming out the top. It fixed the leak. When reassembling I could not replace the...

Hello all. I'm being offered a one owner 1965 gas 150 fixed wide front which has been reputed to be well maintained by it's now deceased owner for $6,000. My research would indicate this price might be a bit high. The tractor started when the key was turned and has good oil pressure and is...

Whats your take on a 150 gas I know the 150D gets good press but I am going to look at a 150G that there asking 3500 for with no loader . The price sounds good hope it looks and runs good.

My neighbors 150 needs a right side tie rod (drag link end). Does anybody have a part number or know where I can look one up? He works 7/12s and doesn't have time to drive to the local dealer (45 min) so if I could get a part number he will likely just have one shipped. If anybody has a good...
