Massey Ferguson 1740M Hydro: LOSS OF POWER when hot!

[ning]

hello everyone, about 3 weeks ago I found out that my tractor was still under warranty so I took it to a dealer shop here in Georgia. They called me today to let me know 1 injector was bad but they ended up replacing all 3 injectors and injector lines. All I have to pay is about $600 for new fuel filters and labor for replacing the filters, everything else is covered by the warranty. For those that don’t know the warranty of the tractors is transferable and is for 5 years, I am the second owner of my tractor and I didn’t know the warranty until I called the dealer. I hope you found this information helpful.

Seems like anyone potentially affected should take their tractor in for a pre-warranty-expiration checkup *ahem* a "my tractor seems down on power can you check the injectors please"

Hello, New to the party here! I just seen all of the threads on this loss of power thing going on and I have been experiencing the same issue too. I have a 2016 MF 1740 M with the shuttle shift and 500 hours. I service my tractor very meticulously with all service done as it should be. I never had one issue with my gem until this summer brush hogging and it was a very hot and humid day.
I have not took it back to dealer yet as I have been using it pretty regularly especially this winter blowing snow here in WNY. I will note that I have not had the issue since summer and have really been pushing it hard clearing snow so I agree it's a summer issue while hot. All the symptoms align with your fellow posters here in this thread. I have tried loosening the fuel cap, changing fuel and all filters too. Thanks everyone for the info shared here, I really appreciate it and will be following along here for any updates.
