massey ferguson 1528

Went to brush hog for the first time with the tractor (2005 MF1528) with King Kutter 6' rotary cutter. It seems as if the 1528 barely has any lift height. It only picked it up a few inches, where every other tractor I had lifted it to the sky. I store it on 4x4s and it barely took it off of...

Hello all, Have a new to me 2005 1528. When I go to start, it takes a few minutes to crank and then start. I had a JD4300 in which the glow plug light would come on when the key was turned to the start position. Reading the manual, it states the glow plugs are activated at the start position...

Looking for a part number for the pinion shaft please.

Hey all, just came home with a 2008 MF1528. Tractor seems to be in pretty good condition, just been left outside in the sun too long and has a few hydraulic line leaks. So I think I did alright, as it has 1800 hours, and only gave 5k for it. I have owned JD 4300 before this, so having a MF is...

The tie rod shaft snapped, and since it’s welded to the steering cylinder, you have to replace the whole cylinder. Has anyone successfully welded new one on? Maybe cut the broken one off, drill it out and put a threaded one on there? Any other ideas?

I've owned this tractor for 17 years and have never used the PTO until now. I recently bought a post hole digger and have come to find that the clutch won't disengage the PTO. With the clutch fully depressed I engage the PTO lever and the PTO shaft will turn even with the auger hitting the...

Can anyone tell me how to remove the tie rod end on the steering cylinder? I have removed mount bolts but can't get the tie rod end to pop out of the wheel mount.

They other day I notice that my Hydrolic oil level was below the dipstick. The oil as around 100Hours with new fitler. Not sure why it was low. so i added oil. I ran the tractor for about 2hours and last time I parked it the 3pth was acting weird. It would take time to raise. I played with the B...

I notice that I do not have 4x4 anymore on my Mf1528. I'm told to remouve the driveshaft cover to inspect the drive shaft. Anyone has a diagram of the bolt that need to be remouve?

As anyone has a video on how to disconect this beast? I just received the owner manuel for my backhoe the procedure to disconect is verry confusing. The previus owner told me there is a 3pth included with the tractor and I'm interested to find out if there are missing parts.

I was using my brush hog last fall and the clutch went limp. It looks like the clutch return spring likely broke and fell off. I've been trying to find a parts diagram for the last hour. Is there anywhere online I can get to the parts diagrams? Thanks, Chris

Hey MF folks! I'm looking to buy a Agco ST28A (same as MF 1528), a 2007 with 1400 hours. This is going to be for personal usage on the week-end at the cottage: snow removal, firewood duties, gravel road maintenance, etc. I've searched on this forum and I don't see much complains about the...

A friend is looking at purchasing a used MF1528 tractor with hydrostatic transmission in great condition (I know the current owner). Will the 1528 (28.4 gross HP, 22.3 PTO HP) handle a 5 foot brush hog OK? A 4 footer will not quite cover his tracks. I run a 5 footer on my NH TC33D (33 gross...

Can anyone tell me how to use RTV silicone on oil pan. I have removed old material, sanded lightly & cleaned with alcohol. Applied RTV & hand tighten bolts, let dry for 24 hrs & it is leaking.

Anyone know how to remove front shaft on MF 1528 to remove leaking oil pan?

I have a Massey Ferguson 1528 tractor and built a FEL for it. Need to connect hydraulics but not sure which outlet pipe is the supply. I know that where the pipe loop is that one side is supply and other side is Power Beyond return. But don’t know which is supply. Anyone know or have a simple...

I am building a FEL for my Massey and the service manual for my tractor states that the Relief valve has a cracking pressure of 1849 psi and a relief pressure of 2133 psi. My valve must be hooked up with the power beyond port for the 3PH to work. The valve comes preset at 2000 psi. Do I need...

I just bought a mf 1528 and the ball joint on steering cylinder snapped. The joint is welded to cylinder. Has anyone had this problem, and figured a way to resolve without buying a brand new cylinder.

New to the forums, so I have a Massey 1528 hydrostatic trans, I was bush hogging and drive it into a sizable hole. After removing tractor from the hole the front axle rear mount had broken off front the frame taps. In the grand scheme of things this is not the biggest problem. After a more in...

I leave my tractor with the battery disconnected over the winter. In the spring my crankcase is overflowing with diesel fuel. Is this normal? Should I install a fuel petcock shutoff?

My father has a MF 1528 Tractor (I know a little about it but not much). The 4 wheel drive works and other times it does not work. Sometimes you can hear it pop out and then just start grinding other times as I said it works great. He has also mentioned that while going down a pretty good...

Hello, I bought a MF 1528 yesterday after about 5 years of thinking of getting a tractor. It's got 200hrs on it, been sitting outside but overall in good shape with low usage. The dealer checked it out and changed the oil and said it needed a new starter, so we replaced that. I got it home...

The 4 wheel drive lever moves up and down freely but the front wheels will not lock in. The lever looks fine on the outside. Is this a common problem ? Is there an easy fix ? Does the tractor have to be split to fix this?

Hello, I'm brand spanking new to this site, and was hoping someone could provide me with a price check on a 2005 MF 1528 HST, with FEL and 30O hours. Mint Condition. I'm at $ 11,750 with the guy (private seller), and I think that is as far as he is willing to go. I need to make a quick...

I am shopping for a compact tractor. I want a backhoe with it. I have been looking at some new (JD 2320 and Kubota 2320) but I am also looking at some used tractors. Used allows me to get a little more tractor than what I really think I need. I am looking at a 2000 JD 990 and JD 8B backhoe...

I looked at a 2007 Massey 1528 with MF backhoe, 160 hours. Tractor is very clean/garaged. Shuttle shift. He has draw bar, weld on mechanical thumb for hoe. Asking 17.5K, thoughts?

I have only 37 hours on my 1528. I believe the backhoe model is a DC10. I am in the process of digging post holes in our rock based Delaware County, NYS soil. Have broken two teeth off so far. Never found the first one. The replacement teeth slide over a smaller solid tooth and are then...

I just bought a used MF1528 and I am extremely happy with my purchase. It is now time to do the 50 Hrs oil change and I have hit a snag. I did the motor oil change and greased all fittings without a problem. I am now ready to replace the transmission oil and I do not know how to remove the...

After looking and looking for quite some time, I am finally thinking of pulling the trigger. I found a 2007 MF 1528, 200 hrs, 4wd, gear drive tractor, $7000 firm. It does not have any equipment. From some of the research I have been doing this appears to be a decent deal. I was wondering...

I was looking at the countryline subsoiler at TSC and was wandering if my trractor (mf1528 hydro) will work good with this, or would I realy be straining her. While on the subject was also considering a single bottom plow (same make). Thanks.

Looking at buying an AGCO ST28a this winter, nothing special. 28 horse w/ hystat and loader. Anything detrimental I need to know about these tractors before I go and spend 18,000? I don't know anybody with one, so I figured I would ask.

Also a tractor newbie! I have 10 acres and am looking for the best all around compact bascially for mowing, tilling, moving some rocks and most importantly want a front attach snow blower (I'm from Canada after all!) Our driveway is on quite a hill so I think the snowblower would be a better...

After lurking on this website and thinking/worrying/debating I finally took the plunge and bought a MF 1528 (liked it better than the Orange one) But I have a question regarding engaging 4 wheel drive on it, the manual (and dealer) say the lever should be in the UP position. The crazy symbol...

Looking at a 1528 model with 1520 loader, 5' bush hog, 5' box blade, 46 hrs. Any ideas on pricing-pros/cons on this model would be appreciated.

No, I'm not talking about the extra 'molson muscle' that seems to accumulate over the winter.:rolleyes: I'm in the market for a CUT and have narrowed it down to the Massey 1528 or Kubota 3030 (lots of reading of the forum and archives over the last couple of weeks). We're on 200acres in...

Hello, I was just reading the stickers on the bottom left of my rear fender on my MF 1528 and it says not to engage reverse in the "bunny/heir" range lever (My 1528 is gear drive) unless at low RPM, is this just because of speed or more for tranny wear? Thanks.

I talked with the dealer, where I purchased my MF1528, and asked him if the 1528 was going to be discontinued, And he answered yes in favor of a new model 1529. I asked him what the differnce it had. he said, it was to have bigger tires and wheels, he just didn't have all of the spec's yet...

Looking for some help, I am stuck between these too tractors, Kubota L2800DT or the Massey Ferguson 1528. Both are manual stick. Both are the same horsepower, and price, both come with 5' rotary cutters, and the dealerships are both only about 20 miles away. I will be working in the woods, bush...

I have a mf1528 it has 1 side ajustable lifting rod, other side is fixed, I was wandering if you could replace the fixed with the ajustable ? It does look like it could be done by just buying, the same one and installing it on the fixed side. I have found that lower links tend to drop down too...

I am early in my search yet, but if I had to buy today I would either buy a JD2320 or a Massey 1528. I know I am not exactly comparing apples to apples, but I think either would meet my needs. In addition to these two, I looked at NH (higher cost) and Kubota (not enough room - I'm a big guy)...

Hi All, New to the forum. Just got a new 1528 Hydro with a 1232 60"deck. Replacing my old 184 International Loboy. Can't wait for the grass to start growing!

Well I did it, purchased the 60" King Kutter tiller for my 1528, and used it today. and it did a wonderful job, on a 30'x30' garden. one thing I did learn, was that, I can'T :eek: bury the thing on the 1st. pass. seems maybe a sub-soiler may, be useful in the future making garden, with hard...

I'm still thinking about upgrading from my BX22, and have moved a notch further up on the scale. Since I will not be mowing with the tractor the gear / vs hydro is less important. I will be using a pto chipper, so pto hp is perhaps a little more important. Compatibility with a good BH is...

Hey Guys, I currently own an Excel Hustler Z 60" for keeping our 8 acres groomed properly, but without a tractor, I cant get other jobs done. Have been doing my homework, reading posts on here, and it looks like to me a MF 1528 is what I need. My question is.....How much should a MF 1528...

I'm looking for a small frame compact tractor. I really like the New Holland TC 26, as I was very impressed with what it can accomplish in a pretty compact package (I have a fairly tight property, so a compact size is important to me). I looked at the MF 1523, but it really didn't seem to...

I have narrowed my search to either a Massey 1528 or a 1531. Both come with the 1520 loader. The decision that I am trying to make is whether the extra 5 hp (28hp vs. 33 hp) is worth $1100 more. My dealer says the 28 should be plenty for everything I need to do. It's not that I don't believe...

What is a good price for a MF 1528 Hydro with a MF 1520 FEL. I was given a price of $14,499 for a manual with FEL.

What is a good price for a MF 1528 with Hydro and MF 1520 FEL. I was given a price of $14,499 for the manual with FEL.

I'm trying to decide whether to buy an MF1528 or a JD3120 or NH TC30. I've been quoted $15,900 for the 1528, which seems high compared to what I have seen others on this list have paid in the past. Compared to the JD3120 and TC30, the loader for the 1528 seems to be a poor choice (i.e., 25%...

Well --- as everyone may know....I looked at Kubota, Mahindras, MF and others. The MF by far gives me the most bang for the buck and the dealer is great. To be honest, I went into buying a tractor looking at a GC3200 and RFM and after talking to the dealer he gave me a price on a 1528 that I...

I think to purchase a new 1528 (mechanic), because it has an quiet engine. Anybody can help about the same Iseki model? I think the new Iseki 4290 is exactly equal. Thanks for any help

Got rid of the other dealer. Too many "discrepancies". Found a good dealer and here is the pricing on a MF 1528 4WD, manual trans, MF 1520 FEL w/quick detach, MF 2005 rotary mower (bush hog), MF 1751 rear discharge finishing mower, 55 gal broadcast & hand sprayer, MF 5ft (450) disc harrow...

Can you tell me if this is a good price on a Massey Ferguson 1528, 28.4 HP, 4 wheel drive compact tractor. The price given by the dealer was $14,500 for the tractor.

I would like some input on a MF 1528, HST, with a 1520 FEL and a Rhino se-5 rotary cutter. Price I was quoted was 16,400 which does not include Maine's 6% sales tax. From reading other threads I know pricing is quite regional and Maine tends to be higher than most places. Does this seem to be a...

Hello, sorta been lurking for the last few months and have learned quite a bit of the knowledge shared here. I'm ready to buy, and unfortunately, its much like going to a car dealership and trying to get a reasonable deal without getting the (pto) shaft. I'm doing about 12-14 acres of...
