massey ferguson 175

Can i block off the fluid line and use transmission as normal

I have a 1974 175 Massey Ferguson with 5255 Hours on it. I am curious if this is considered a lot of hours and what the life expectancy is as far as hours? It runs great and runs a 7 foot Rhino mower W/O difficulty to cut 19 acres of pasture six times during the season here in North Carolina. I...

Anyone know the difference between the power steering cylinders of a 175 and 175(UK)? Need to replace the one on my 175 and cannot find one....

I have a 1973 MF 175 with a gas Perkins engine. It has a new carb on it, but still runs rough, which I assume may be points and timing, it also has new plugs. The main issue is when I start it, the rpm痴 go up and down at random, and the engine will just rev all the way up to almost max without...

I have an MF 175 I working on. Have to replace the hood side panels and want to paint them the correct color scheme. My originals were painted all red but I have seen them with the upper part red and the lower part flint metallic grey. Anyone know which is correct?

I'm in the process of rebuilding my hydraulics and am currently working on the PCV. On page 298 of the parts book, how does one get part #7, (valve assembly servo #884262M92) out of the housing? Thank you.

I have a mf 175 with a bush hog qt2400 loader attached. I'm still new to the hydraulic settings on the tractor and I'm having some problems getting the loader to lift (It's real slow and weak) and I don't really know what all of the levers do. I'm having a hard time finding something that...

Thinking about buying a massy F 175 and the guy said that the transmission fluid is mixing in the engine oil is this possible if so what are the causes ??? Or what could be mixing with the oil ??

I think the ps pump is letting fluid into the crankcase, anyone have experience putting a seal kit in a ps pump for a 1969 mf175 diesel? How hard is it? Do they last? Better off to replace The pump? Thanks!!

I have a Massey 175 with a 3 cylinder Perkins diesel that has recently started having hydraulics issues. I still have good oil pressure (assuming the gauge is correct). The arms just stop being able to lift at all, with or without weight on them but power steering seems to still work (its still...

What should the pressure be and where do I connect the gauge to check pressure on a MF 175? The lift raises very slow and immediately goes down when engine shuts down.

This MF175 was running great the other day and all of the sudden I came to a complete stop and engine stalled out. I thought ok maybe ran out of fuel (gauge is broken), checked was full started her back up took foot of the dual stage clutch and stalls out again. idles great in any gear or in...

I am looking to add two hydro remotes (supply and return) to my Massey Ferguson 175. I am ok with switching between 3 point and the remotes. Any ideas of what i need to make this happen?

Purchased the CountyLine 3-Point Hitch Log Splitter yesterday from TSC and after getting all the lines installed and hooked up to the tractor using quick connections I found the splitter be lacking sufficient power to split even the smallest of logs. Also found that I had to run the tractor at...

Seems that when the tractor has been used for a prolonged period of time, or even shortly under continuous or heavy pressure that it wants to spew oil from the smoke stack onto the hood and ruin my current shirt. Any clues on why it is doing this? I know she's old, but she's still a beast...

:( The multi-power transmission on my MF 175 is not working very good and needs to be rebuilt. Estimates are from $2500-3000 by a dealer to do the job. Does anyone have a good 8 speed or 6 speed not multipower transmission and housing for sale? SN for my tractor is 163925. :D:D

I am working on the clutch assembly on a MF175 for my neighbor and need any information on setting the PTO clutch correctly. If you have a shop/repair manual and wouldn't mind sending me a couple pages covering this particular issue, I would be greatly appreciative. Thanks.

I'm moving on from overhauling the engine to the brake system. 1974 MF 175 square axles. I've noticed there is a conversion kit on the market for dry to wet brakes for about $850.00-$1000.00. I've also noticed that the kit seems to include new actuators, discs, rods and seals, and differential...

I'm needing some advice from someone who has some hands on experience in fixing this problem. I just purchased a 1974 MF 175 with the Perkins G4.236 gas motor w/2000 hrs. The price was right and there are a number of issues that I'm addressing. Needs brakes, PS wasn't working to good...

I`ll appriciate if any has experience with lifting capacity as I find it inadequate. Mine has to struggle with a 2 bottom plough, although it`s heavy built and with approx. 35 kilos of extra weight. - Hydraulic filter is new and it has 24 liters of singlegraded SAE 40 oil in the sump as...

Have a MF 175, no hydrostatic tranny. I have remote hooked up but don't use. I was bush hogging the other day an went down a small burm. The bush hog blades contacted the ground and I heard a loud pop. 3 pt hydraulics stopped working and i can't get them to lift. No leaks. Control levers...

I took off the transmission, hydraulic pump and the remotes. If anyones looking for any of this. Everything was working great on the tractor engine had a cracked block. So I'm scraping the rest of the stuff.

I have a 6 speed transmission out a MF 175 anyone know the value of one I'm thinking about putting it on eBay or should I just scrap it?

Where is the best place to buy engine parts on line for a MF 175 I'm rebuilding the engine, steering, and some of the skins need to be replaced as well. Thanks,

I am new to the tractor world so I need some help. I have a Massey Ferguson model 175 not sure of the year at this point, but it is more than likely late 70's or early 80's. Anyway I have a slow diesel leak right on the pump housing. I thought it was one of the lines where they connect to the...

I've been lurking for awhile and I am learning a lot so far (thank to all knowledgeable people here). For all the reading I believe the perfect size of tractor for my situation should be MF 150 ( I want a loader,that the reason I am not looking for MF 135),but I can't find any.Many MF 165 &...

A friend has an early 70's 175 that has hyd lines that come from a cooler in the front and goes down the starter side of the engine and goes into the bellhousing . One line is plugged so I hooked up the lines like they where supposed to be and fluid then leaked out of the clutch inspection hole...

Just bought MF175 is trans-diff all connected internally. (1 fill hole, 1 drain hole) thanks for any info.:D

I just picked up a MF 175 that needs a good amount of work. I have been reading that the IT manuals may not be worth picking up. Is there another manual(s) that I should get (this is my first tractor)?

I have a 1972 MF175, Perkins diesel, multi-power transmission. My main use is heavy brushhog work. I use a Howse heavy duty 6' cutter. I cut some grass, but mainly cut under growth on a timber farm in central tx. This tractor just breezes through 1" to 1 1/2" diameter undergrowth. It has...
