I am in the process of rebuilding the front end of my 1963 diesel MF65. The wheel bearing were so bad when I got it that they broke the inner collar off of one of the wheel hubs and the spindle shafts had 1/16" grooves in them. In addition, the power steering pedestal bushings were badly worn...

Put in a couple hundred feet of fencing this weekend, and the MF65 was there, helping carry everything out to the field. My "hackenstein" pump hookup has been working smoothly, and the hydraulics hold just perfect. So proud to be the custodian of this awesome piece of our farming and...

Hi all, just wondering what size box blade would be good for a MF65? don't want to buy one and find out it's too big. 6FT, 7FT, or 8FT?

What should be the tire pressures on a MF 65 Front and Rear? It has a FEL and the rear tires are loaded. Thanks

Shopping around for a good used tractor with a loader for a nice low price and I come across a what i think to be late 60's MF 65 possibly industrial version. The guy I'm looking at buying from is unsure of the year and I didn't look for the serial #s. I say it's an industrial model because it...

I have an 1959 Massey Ferguson MF65 that I got from my Aunt after my Uncle passed away. The transmission, differential and hydraulics are all one compartment which uses 90W oil. There is water in the oil and I have drained it. is there anything that I can use to fill the compartment to flush...

Hi ther, i'm new here, i'm looking for a Massey 65 Diesel Manual Owner, does somebody can help me where can i find it? I'l thank to all.

hello-I am puzzled by the hydraulic system on my massey 65-on the transmission tube and just under the seat is a control with 2 levers that operate the single remote and 3 point hitch-they are tricky to operate and a lot of switching back and forth is required so I am thinking that there must be...

The loader has a hydraulic control valve on it that I use to move the bucket and...

I inadvertenly pulled the injection pump drive gear off of its shaft when replacing a retaining ring. Now my tractor is out of time. I'm not seeing any timing marks on the drive gear or the upper idler gear which drives it. Need help.

Hi there I am trying to hook up a small wood chipper to the pto of an old (60's) Massey Ferguson 65 diesel. The tractor has the 2 spool valve on the hydraulics and all the pumps seem to be working fine I am just not sure the right way to hook this chipper up. The chipper has a hydraulic feed on...

I need a little help, I bought a Massey 65 that was my grandfather's and its been sitting for 10+ years. It turns over, but before I try to make it run I was wondering if their is anything else I should check out? I started by cleaning the tank, carburetor, and points. It has oil in it but I...

What size group and CCA battery do I need for my MF 65. I am not near the tractor currently and the current owner has not had a battery in it for a couple of years, so no way to make a comparison.

This will be my first tractor purchase and although I am new to tractors I am pretty good with mechanics. I am in the process of obtaining a Massey Ferguson 65 that has been sitting in a barn for approx 2-3 years and hasn't been run since parked. I am assuming that it is a 1958 model, although...

Wondering if anyone can confirm the size/thread of the female threaded holes on the front of a Massey 65 (US)? They look like 3/4-10 to me however I cannot confirm (Tractor is up North). I have to fix a cracked weld on the loader next weekend and am going to change the bolts (one missing...

Hello all, I'm new to the forums and to tractor ownership. Just bought a Massey 65 diesel on the weekend with a Freeman loader. Im hoping to change the oil/fluids thisweekend so i know its been done. Just wondering if anyone can give me some pointers on where to start, where to buy filters...

The Continental g176 engine on my 62 MF65 needs to be replaced. Hs anyone tried to swap it out with the Perkins that fits the same model. Just wondering if it can be done and with what problems. Thanks!

I am having difficulty with my MF 65 hydraulic pump I have put a bepco kit in and I am unable to turn it by hand is this normal?

I am currently re-doing my hydraulic pump kit have just put replacement pistons in and bolted the whole lot together and seems very tight that I cannot even turn it by hand should I loosen the 4 bolts that hold the entire pump together should they be torqued to a certain NM and then the control...

I just purchased a Massey 65 and added a rear remote kit. I used the factory diverter valve that bolts onto the top of the transmission housing and when it's in the vertical mode the three point linkages work fine. I plumbed the top port into the positive port on a double action spool valve...

I recently bought a Massey Ferguson 65 and added a rear remote kit by using the factory diverter valve. When the diverter is in three point mode, the lift arms work fine. I plumbed the top of the diverter valve into the positive port on a double action spool valve and then into a quick connect...

I have a 1961 MF 65 gas. I want to get a turbo saw to cut ashe juniper. The model I want has a grapple operated by a single cylinder. Is there a way to set up my tractor so the 3-point hitch and a single cylinder will work at the same time?

I have a MF 65. The rear wheels have been full of water and are rusting through from the inside. The wheels are power adjustable 13-28. Where can I find replacement rims or are there alternate rims that will fit? thanks

Howdy all! I finally picked up my '63 Massey-Ferguson 65D after I purchased it from it's 2nd owner in January. After a pretty long haul getting it back to Kansas from Minnesota, I've run it a few times and a friend of mine who's a full-time farmer and I have been going over it to fix some of...

Luckily I live a couple miles away from a great machinist and nice guy, Scott Beckett of Beckett Machines (build tractor pulling tractors), who worked me up a new hydraulic pump drive rod out of chrome moly ... it's just a teensy bit stronger than the old one ;-) I still don't know how I am...

Right now I have a Massey 65 Gas tractor in disrepair and am thinking of buying a Massey 65 LP tractor. Is it much of a hassle to fuel them from your home LP tank? I know they burn really clean and seem to last longer. Is it hard to resale them later becaouse of the LP? Also, it looks like they...

Hi, I am looking for the torque pattern for the G176 engine. The IT manual states to go in a circle pattern but I would think that it should be like the Continental TM engine where you tighten above the cylinders first and then along the left side at the push rods last. I have a manual from...

Hello, I have a 65 torn down in the shop that I am tinkering on. The question of the day is on the hydraulics. It has a 2 spool valve on it and I was hoping someone had a copy of a manual for it, parts and or operators. It is not a Massey as in the manual but a aftermarket, maybe a Vapormatic...

Was poking through Craigslist the other night and found a step-in loader for my MF65 - he has the MF65 mounting brackets, and is asking $500 for it, and it's in good operating condition. I pick it up this morning! Then I'll get my exhaust leaks fixed, and the muffler rigged - and I am going to...

I am posting this for an acquaintance in Markesan, WI - who had his restored MF65 destroyed by a run-away car. His engine and sheet metal survived and he's looking for a complete MF65 that has a blown engine, to drop his engine into. If you know of a diamond-in-the-rough tractor sitting in a...

The good news is that I knew that my "new" MF65 had a hole in the block when I bought it, the bad news is that the "spare" engine that I got with the tractor is a G193 not a G176. Long story short, I am going to try to sell the G193 to bankroll the repairs of the G176. To assess the damage to...

Today is a great day for me. Since we moved from suburban Colorado to rural Ohio, I have dreamed of the day that I would have a tractor to work our land. This is a giant project, but it's the perfect time of year, and I hope to have her running by summer. The block has a rod sticking through...

Ok so me and my father f]have this Massey that we are starting to fix back up in running condition. So we have changed all plugs, wires, distibutor cap, and contacts. nothing so then we took everything apart to find that we had 3 stuck valves 3 broken/bent push rods and only one cylinder had...

Hello, i am new to working on tractors first off, a friend of mine bought a i believe 58 MF65 tractor and i am working on it for him. it is a g176 cont 4 cyl with a tsx 695 carb, i am either missing something or just plain confussed, there is fuel getting to the carb but will not stay running...

Okay, I am very confused about the styles of hood on the MF65, and the variety of emblems - particularly as they relate to the years of the tractor. I cannot find any definitive explanation as to how the hood/nose design changed over time (between 1958 and 1964). For instance - on my tractor...

Hey all. I am a super-newbie with tractors. I have a MF65 that I will be picking up in the next week or so. In preparation I picked up a Massey branded MF65 Gas & Diesel owners manual, and an I&T Shop Manual for the MF65. One thing that I noticed was absolutely missing from the manual was...

Hello all. I have been a lurker for a while, as I plotted to make my move and buy a tractor. I finally found a deal I could not refuse, and am making the arrangements to pick up my ~1959 MF65. I know almost nothing about tractors, except what I've read doing research. I've never even driven one...

Like the title says, I scored a MF65 propane tractor at a local scrap yard for $500. The previous owner was using it when it died and wouldn't re-start, he got mad and hauled it to the smasher. Long story short, I got it, replaced the condenser in the distributor and got it running. It's not...

I see old posts for this but many of the links no longer exist. Can anyone point me to downloadable schematic?

I have a 1960 MF 65 with a Perkins diesel and power steering. While mowing the other day my steering wheel lost all tension and would actually spin 360 degrees with no movement of the linkage. After opening the side cover on the steering box I noticed the pin that rides the worm shaft had came...

Hey guys, I have recently managed to blow a bearing or something in my transmission and the bearings have eaten up a few teeth in the gears...do I have to split the tractor in half to pull the transmission to replace some parts, or can I do it through the top plates? I really dont want to split...

I've got a 65 that I saved from the scrap pile and restored from the ground up. It didn't have any gauges and the oil filter was broke off and bypassed. I put a new spin on filter kit and gauges on it and now it pegs a 100psi oil prress. gauge and blew out the o ring on the filter. I put a...

I have a 1965 Massey Ferguson 65 with the continental gas engine in it that runs great for a little while until you start putting a load on it. Then you have to start choking to keep running and leave it on choke a little. I took carburetor off and checked for trash, cleaned jets, etc. Put...

I just got an old 1960 mf 65 diesel from my uncle and it hasn't ran for a few years. He said the hyd. were slow and getting weak when he parked it, and now that I got the tractor running the lift arms don't even move. I've read that there is an internal hydraulic filter in the trans case but I...

My 1963 MF 65 3-pt hitch is jerking/pulsating when lift arms are in any position except down. With both draft control levers in the down position it is smooth. Any ideas?

hello I have an MF 65 gas G176 continental that needs a water pump. I have no press so punched the old one out of it's pulley with punch and hammer. Is it possible to put new shaft in freezer to cool it and cast iron pulley in oven heated to 400 degrees and then try to tap it on to shaft as it...

I recently bought an MF 65. There is a small leak of oil from the steering column. Whenever it rains, it appears that water runs down the steering shaft, through the seal, and into the steering box, causing the fluid inside to overflow out past the obviously non-functional seal. The plan is...

I just had a rear rim crumble where the air valve is located. A piece the size of a soup can lid disentegrated when adding air. I am having trouble finding a rim for the tractor. The tire size is 14.9-28. There is a matched set on the tractor. The rims are the expandable type. Any...

My MF 65 runs great, with no leaks of oil or diesel. The problem is, after I start it & let it idle for about 30 minutes it will start speeding up & slowing down on its own five or six time & then die. If I take it right out in the field, it will run about 15 minutes, speed up one time on its...

I have a Massey Ferguson 65 perkins diesel with mutipower transmission I have spent a fortune on repairs only to have it fail after a short time don't mind the leak but need engine braking. A while back Big Dean in suggested I replace it with a straight 6 or 8 speed transmission from a...

I am looking very seriously at a MF 65 gas tractor with a mid-mount sickle bar mower that is for sale at a dealership. It seems to be in good shape, overall. There is a slight leak at what appears to be the steering box and I am hoping someone can, first of all, confirm that I am looking at...

Hi, I am looking at an MF 65 with a mid-mount sickle bar mower that a local dealer has for sale. He took it in trade on a newer compact tractor. He tells me that the last owner wanted to trade up to something with 4-wheel drive. It seems to be in pretty good shape overall and the mower...

I have a 1958 MF 65 with the gas engine. After an hour of use, it overheats to the point of dying, steam and fluid overflow. After sitting a while it starts right up but this time is will not take an hour to overheat, much less. When this first happened I thought thermostat and so I replaced...

I'm putting in a tender for a roadside grass cutting job and was wondering if the MF 65 would be all right for the job? is it good on fuel or should I try finding a smaller tractor?

Hi fellow Massey owners. I'm needing a part for my Massey Ferguson 65 tractor. I'm not sure what the part is called and I don't have a part number, but it's the part that the tractor end of the 3 point arm connects to straight below the seat on the left side. There is 3 holes (I think, I'm...

All, I've located a Massey 236 complete with accessory pump, two spool valve, and as I understand it, the reservoir is built into the loader. I will be installing it on a MF65. I would like to add a grapple and two or three rear remotes (two would be good-three would be better). I would like...

I just replaced the injection pump on my MF65 & need to time it. in order to rotate crank to align the "18 spill" mark on the flywheel, do I access thru hole in frame at front of engine? what size bolt am I turning?

Hi everyone this is my first time here and I have a problem with the powersteering adjusting screw. It is froze up big time. I have tried penetrating oil and it will not free up. Any suggestions would be appriecated. pete

I have confirmed my IP is bad & am in the process of removing it, I have the timing cover removed, the timing gear removed, & 2 1/2" bolts removed, the third bolt is between the IP & the engine, very hard to get to but worse than that, it does not seem to be a 1/2" hex bolt, it might be an Allen...
