Greetings,
I may very well have a few different topics before this is done.
Several years ago (around 2002) I purchased a MF 271xe tractor ... (brand new) from dealer... (well, it had a few lot hours on it... like 120 I think?). The tractor has a 1060 loader on it... but not relevant to my topic.
The tractor now has a whopping 511 hours on it.....
The hydraulic cylinder for the steering broke (The rod in the RAM .. where the "eye" is).... took it to a machine shop ... and they have repaired it. (I have yet to re-install it).
-- The tractor has been sitting in the field (where it broke down)
> Before I attempt to start the tractor, I intend to change all of the filters ... and the engine oil ... that is the catalyst that brought me here, I was searching for filter information.
> When I went down at one point, I found that the fuel cap had been off of the tractor.... so I will be draining the fuel lines, replacing fuel filters.
> ... the really yucky part ..... I seen (what I thoughtwas) rats nest.... under the dash .... I took the covers off, and found 4 baby squirrels, and all of my wiring chewed up :-(
> I have ordered (tonight from Agco) ... the manuals.
