Info regarding MF3303 industrial tractor...

arnehavre · Aug 2, 2006

Hi All!
I hope you could help me find anything about an old industrial tractor I bought. According to "Big Dean" it's a MF3303, and he seems to know what he is talking about

I bought the tractor for approx 2years ago and it runs ok.. it's equipped with a backhoe and frontloader.
I'm currently searching for service manuals, instructions etc.
I also lost my low range transmission :-( Anyone know if it's easy to fix? The high range seems ok (3gears forward, 1 reverse).
The model is mede in UK, and this tractor was bought (and probably sold as new) in Sweden.

Best regards

No one knows more about MF industrials than Big Dean. I don't know if he told you what he thought about your transmission or not, but it sounds like the shift fork is bad. You would have to take the top cover off under the seat to find out for sure.

Hi Jerry!
Thanks a lot!
Big Dean didn't tell me anything about the transmission, but I'm thankfull for his identification, nobody had a clue before!
I'm a bit reluctant to open the transmission before I have any manuals for the machine... Do you know how to identify the transmission, so I can look for manuals for other models which has the same transmission? (As it seems almost impossible to locate one for MF3303...)?
Anyway, thanks a lot for your reply!
regards

I have never seen that model. Dean has a ton of information. He even sells a CD with a lot of it. I would get back up with him to see what he has on that model. He is good guy and seems to enjoy helping others. I have worked on a lots of 1960s and 1970s Massey industrial stuff, but Dean has forgotten more than I ever knew. Have you looked at his internet site?

Hi again Jerry!
Yep, I looked at BigDeans website, and it sure has alot of info! I guess the problem for me is that the MF3303 is a european model, and probably wasn't made in any numbers... I think most of the machine is similar to other models in USA, but I don't know which. I saw a german seller on e-bay that sold manuals for a MF 50 S/R (?), but if my small understanding of german is correct, it also should be covering the MF3303/MF3305... this could mean that my machine is a kind of european-variety of the MF50, I'll try to get this confirmed, because if so, it would be a much easier task to find info on the different models of MF50

I'll contact BigDean again, and if he thinks his "industrial CD" would benefit me, I'll by it!
Thanks again!
