I'm pretty sure it's not multi-power. Can you explain what multi-power is.

Multi-power is a hydraulically operated clutch which splits each gear into a high or low range which can be shifted on the go without using the clutch. It would make a standard 3 speed transmission with high and low range, into a 12 speed foward, 4 reverse.

According to tractordata.com, the 150 was available with a 4 speed with high/low, 3 speed with high/low, and 3 speed with high/low and multi-power

I checked mine today. I only have the 3 speed high/low. Thank y'all for all the excellent info. I'm sure I'll have many more questions along the way.

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 still have to drain all the fluids as the coolant is way past its prime, the lift arms move slowly as he never changed the filters. My question is what milky looking fluid would be leaking from the weep hole in the bell housing?

Since you don't have multi-power the leaage is likely the transmission input shaft seal. If the transmission is severely over full, the seal may under greater pressure and may leak. A drop or two is very common.

Changing the fluid and getting it to the proper level may solve the problem. There should be a hydraulic filter screen that needs cleaning, accessible through the PTO lever cover.

If you had multi-power, the leak could be very expensive to fix. That's why I asked.
