    MF 251 XE Hydraulics Issue

    When I came across this problem a couple years back it was my first time with this particular issue. Seemed simple enough. Pump's not working. Remove it, overhaul it and be done with it. I split that tractor at least three times, had the pump apart two or three times and couldn't make any sense...

    MF 251 XE Hydraulics Issue

    I won't argue your theory in this case, as I have never seen the pump in this model. However, my experience with this problem was on a 270, which as I recall had no such circuitry and no light. The pump strainer on this model is like nothing I've ever seen on any other Massey model, based on...

    MF 251 XE Hydraulics Issue

    Interesting developments on both counts. I've put many gallons of Traveler UTF in a great many tractors and have never had that result. I'm curious about how the new screen thing works out. If the new one looks like this one, I would be tempted to return it. Order one with a different part...

    Help. cold start MF 250

    Agreed on both counts. While the block heater is the most effective of the two, it does require ac power available. The other is known as a thermostart element and requires a fuel supply tied into the tractor's fuel return line system. Not hard to do (if you know what you're doing) but again...

    MF 251 XE Hydraulics Issue

    I'm not sure what "diagram" you're hoping to find. As I see it, that model was made in Brazil. Some tractors built down there are mostly similar to UK built units, but not entirely. The parts book shows two lift pumps. One made in UK and the other ??? Could be made locally. That said, I ran...

    MF 251 XE Hydraulics Issue

    As I see it, the "light" involved is a waste of time. If the system works with the tube plugged off, then plug it permanently and get back to work. Massey has been building those tractors for over seventy years using the same lift system without any "idiot" lights and gotten by just fine. When...

    Ferguson TEA-20 wont start

    The battery cutoff? Have you tried taking that out of the circuit and just using a ground cable? It sure sounds like something in this system isn't "carrying the load." Removing that will eliminate one more possibility.

    Ferguson TEA-20 wont start

    That says the engine is NOT tight, the weak link has to be battery, cables (and/or connections) or starter. Yes, the starter is new, but that "don't make it good". It all looks good in the photos, but something here is not carrying the load. If it were me I would suspect the solenoid again. Try...

    Ferguson TEA-20 wont start

    Engine "feels heavy". That engine is not that big. Without pulling the spark plugs, you should be able to turn it over by hand. Transmission in neutral, stand on one side, push in on the fan belt with one hand and pull on the fan blade with the other. If you can't make it turn that way, you...

    draining coolant on a Mitsubishi 1650D 4x4 4 cylinder tractor/

    Can't say this for sure, but many Jap tractors have a rubber hose (about 5/16 or 3/8 inch) at the bottom of the radiator leading to a tee and a drain type fitting. The other side of the tee has a hose going to the engine block with a hose barb fitting at the bottom of the block's water jacket...

    New 1626 randomly shutting off

    My reference to the word new merely applies to tractors sold after 2015. Seems they all share a common malady. It takes more than an "average' mechanic to figure out the "why" when they decide they won't run or won't move. I deal mostly with tractors ten to fifty plus years old. I find them much...

    New 1626 randomly shutting off

    Unfortunately, the first word you posted (new) is the scariest part of the problem. The tractor has an electronic governor, (no doubt computer controlled) so fuel supply issues are most likely not involved. Particularly so if you can keep it running by switching the key off and back on. It...

    Front end loader question

    The 1030 is a slightly larger tractor. The loader off the 1215 would be a tight squeeze. (at best) Probably won't clear the hood and grill unless you mount it so far forward all the weight will be on the front axle. Would need a lot of "torch and welder" work to get it on, and most likely be a...

    Mahindra 7520, very high crankcase pressure

    Then something is tired inside. It's not a breather problem.

    Mahindra 7520, very high crankcase pressure

    Is there a lot of vapor, fumes, smoke, etc coming out the breather as well, or is it just dripping what appears to be raw oil? Have you considered removing the breather unit? It looks like it might just pull out of the valve cover. Maybe something obvious will show up that might be easily...

    Rings at least. Probably pistons and liners as well.

    I have a Mahindra 4500 2wd 2004

    I'm quite sure he figured out what to do, he just didn't bother coming back to explain it. What exactly are you attempting to do, and what are the problems stopping you from doing it? The 4500 parts diagrams show a double shaft cylinder, probably bolted to the front axle, and most likely under...

    Kioti CK20S hydraulic issue

    I doubt it. Knowing what the max pressure the system will build up to will tell you more. That valve you mentioned should only affect the circuit plugged into it, nothing else.

    Kioti CK20S hydraulic issue

    The transmission most likely has a separate charge system, usually the return from the steering goes through a charge filter then into the hydrostat. At least most systems I'm aware of operate that way. I could look up the parts diagrams on this mode and prove that one way or the other, but it's...

    Kioti CK20S hydraulic issue

    I can't see what you have for hydraulic plumbing or how things are connected to the tractor system (assuming it is, and not a PTO pump?) so I hesitate to say what is or isn't right. If you can operate some of the functions, but not when demanding power above a certain point, then pump pressure...
