Introduction
Introduction
Pre-delivery installation on the farm and Warranty
NOTE: This book is published for worldwide
distribution, and the availability of equipment shown
either as basic or accessory may vary according to
the territory in which the tractor is to be operated.
Full details of equipment available in your area can
be obtained from your Massey Ferguson Dealer. Use
only Massey Ferguson approved attachments
and equipment.
The Company, when selling new goods to their
Dealers, gives a warranty which, subject to certain
conditions, guarantees that the goods are free from
defects in material and workmanship. Since this book
is published for worldwide circulation, it is impossible
to detail the exact terms and conditions of warranty
that apply to a retail customer in any particular country.
Purchasers of new Massey Ferguson equipment
should request full details from their supplying Dealer.
In accordance with the Company's policy of
continuous improvement to its machines, alterations
in the specifications of machines may be made at
any time without notice. The Company accepts no
responsibility for discrepancies which may occur
between the specifications of its machines and the
descriptions thereof contained in its publications.
The purpose of this book is to enable the owner and
driver to operate the tractor in a safe manner. Providing
that the instructions are followed carefully, the tractor
will give years of service in the tradition of Massey
Ferguson. The installation of the product on the farm
by the Dealer gives the opportunity to ensure that
these operating and maintenance instructions are
understood. Always consult your Dealer if you do not
understand any part of this book. It is important that
these instructions are understood and observed.
Daily maintenance should become a routine, and a
record of hours in service should be kept.
When new parts are required it is important that only
genuine Massey Ferguson service parts are used.
Massey Ferguson Dealers supply genuine parts and
can give advice regarding their fitment and use.
Extensive damage may occur as a result of the fitment
of parts of inferior quality. Customers are advised to
buy their service parts only from an authorized Massey
Ferguson Dealer.
Owing to wide variations in operating conditions, it
is impossible for the Company to make
comprehensive or definitive statements in its
publications regarding performance or methods of
use of its machines, or to accept liability for any loss
or damage which may result from these statements,
or from any errors or omissions. If the tractor is to be
used for abnormal conditions which may be
detrimental, (e.g. deep water or paddy fields)
consult your Massey Ferguson Dealer for special
instructions, or the warranty may be invalidated.
These tractors are designed solely for use in
customary agricultural operations (intended use).
*Use in any other way is considered as contrary
to the intended use. Massey Ferguson accepts no
liability for any damage or injury resulting from
misuse and these risks must be borne solely by
the user.
Compliance with, and strict adherence to, the
conditions of operation, service and repair as specified
by Massey Ferguson also constitute essential
elements for the intended use.
These tractors should be operated, serviced and
repaired only by persons familiar with all their particular
characteristics and who are acquainted with the
relevant safety rules (accident prevention). Customers
are strongly advised to use an official Massey
Ferguson Dealer in connection with any service
problems and adjustments that may occur.

Pre-delivery and Installation on the farm
A Dealer is required to carry out certain activities
when supplying a new Massey Ferguson tractor.
These consist of a full pre-delivery inspection to
ensure that the tractor supplied is ready for immediate
use, and to give full instruction in the basic principles
of operation and maintenance of the tractor. These
instructions will cover instruments and controls, routine
maintenance and safety precautions. All persons
who will be concerned with the operation and
maintenance of the machine should be present during
this instruction period.
NOTE: Massey Ferguson will not accept responsibility
for any claim resulting from the fitment of nonapproved parts or attachments, or unauthorized
modification or alteration.
Warranty procedure
Correct installation on the farm, coupled with regular
maintenance, will do much to prevent breakdowns.
If, however, operating trouble is experienced during
the warranty period, the following procedure must
be adopted:
*Immediately notify the Dealer from whom you
purchased the tractor, quoting the Model and Serial
Number. It is most important that there should be
no delay, and you should realize that, even where
the original failure is covered by warranty, if the
failure is not repaired immediately, warranty cover
may not apply.
*Provide your Dealer with as much background
information as you can. It will help him to know
how many hours service has been achieved, the
type of work on which you are engaged and the
symptoms of the trouble.
It should be noted that normal maintenance services
such as tuning, brake/clutch adjustments, and the
supply of materials used to service the tractor (oil,
filters, fuel and antifreeze) are not covered by the
terms of warranty.

Introduction
Parts warning
The fitment of non Massey Ferguson parts may result
in a part of substandard quality being used. Massey
Ferguson will not take the responsibility for any loss,
damage or liability resulting from the fitment of such
parts, and, if fitted during the normal warranty period
the manufacturer's guarantee may be invalidated.
WARNING: In some of the illustration
used in this Operator Instruction Book,
panels or guards may have been
removed for clarity. Never operate the
tractor without these components in
position. If the removal of panels or guards is
necessary to make a repair, they MUST be
replaced before operation.
Moving to a new location
Only the Massey Ferguson Dealer from whom you
purchased the tractor is responsible for the protection
afforded by your warranty and, where possible, you
should always take your tractor to him for repair. If,
however, you move to another area or if your tractor
should be working temporarily at some distance from
the Dealer from whom it was purchased, you are
recommended to obtain from that Dealer the name
and address of the Massey Ferguson Dealer nearest
to your new location and to ask for arrangements to
be made for outstanding service warranty
commitments to be transferred to the latter. If you
have left the area in which the original Dealer operates
and have not made arrangements with a new Dealer,
the latter will readily provide assistance in an
emergency but you will be charged at normal rates
for any work undertaken unless:
*You make it clear that the warranty has not expired,
and
*You give the repairing Dealer the opportunity to
make suitable arrangements with the retailing Dealer.
Service after Warranty
During the warranty period, you should have all your
repairs and maintenance performed by your Massey
Ferguson Dealer. This ensures that a detailed check
is kept on the progress and performance of your new
tractor.
In order to obtain the best results from your Massey
Ferguson tractor, it is important that regular
maintenance and service checks continue after the
warranty period has expired. Make use of your local
Massey Ferguson Dealer for all major tractor services;
a trained mechanic will spot any problems between
one service and the next.
The mechanics are regularly trained and updated on
the product, servicing techniques and the use of
modern service tools and diagnostic equipment. They
receive regular Service Bulletins, have all Workshop
Manuals and other such technical information to
ensure that the repair or service is to the standard
required by Massey Ferguson.
Safety
The safety of the operator is one of the main concerns
in designing and developing a new tractor. Designers
incorporate as many safety features as is possible
in constructing our tractors. However, every year
many accidents occur which could have been avoided
by a few seconds thought and a more careful
approach to handling farm machinery and implements.
Read and practice the safety instructions detailed in
the next section of this book.

Tractor and Implement Safety
The tractor is a source of power - Mechanical and Hydraulic.
On its own, the tractor is of little practical value. Only when used in conjunction with an implement or other
attachment
does it become a working unit.
This instruction book is compiled to cover those safe working practices that are associated with the base tractor
operation.
It does not cover all operation and safety instructions relevant
to all known implements and attachments that may be fitted at the time of tractor delivery or at some future
date.
It is essential that operators use and understand the relevant instruction manual of such implements and
attachments.

alertness or co-ordination. An operator
on prescription or 'over the counter'
drugs needs medical advice on whether
or not he or she can safely operate machines.
DANGER: This symbol together with
the word DANGER indicates an
imminently hazardous situation that,
if not avoided, will result in DEATH OR
VERY SERIOUS INJURY.
WARNING: This symbol together with
the word WARNING indicates a
potentially hazardous situation that if
not avoided could result in DEATH or
SERIOUS INJURY.
CAUTION: This symbol together with
the word CAUTION is used to indicate
a potentially hazardous situation that,
if not avoided, may result in MINOR
INJURY.
IMPORTANT: The word IMPORTANT is used to
identify special instructions or procedures which, if
not strictly observed, could result in damage to, or
destruction of the machine, process or its
surroundings.
NOTE: The word NOTE is used to indicate points of
particular interest for more efficient and convenient
repair or operation.
Decals
WARNING: DO NOT remove or obscure Danger,
Warning, Caution or Instruction Decals. Replace
any Danger, Warning, Caution or Instruction
Decals that are not readable or are missing.
Replacement decals are available from your
Dealer in the event of loss or damage. The actual
location of these Safety Decals is illustrated at
the end of this section.
If a used tractor has been purchased, refer to the
illustrations at the end of this section to ensure that
all the safety warning decals are in the correct position
and are readable.
Follow a safety program
For safe operation
Observe the following
*DO NOT allow children or unqualified persons to
operate your tractor. Keep others away from your
area of work.
*Securely fasten your seat belt when the tractor
has a ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure) frame
in the upright position or is fitted with a cab.
*Where possible, avoid operating the tractor near
ditches, embankments and holes. Reduce speed
when turning, crossing slopes, and on rough,
slippery, or muddy surfaces.
*Stay off slopes too steep for safe operation.
*Watch where you are going, especially at row
ends,
on roads, and around trees.
*DO NOT permit others to ride on the tractor or
the
implement.
*Hitch only to the drawbar and hitch points
recommended, and never above the centre line of
the rear axle.
*Operate the tractor smoothly - no jerky turns,
starts
or stops. When the tractor is stopped, apply the
parking brake securely. Lower the implement and
remove the key.
*DO NOT modify or remove any part of the
equipment
and DO NOT use attachments unless they are
properly matched to your tractor.
For safe operation of an agricultural tractor, you must
be a qualified and authorized operator. To be qualified
you must understand the written instructions supplied
in this Operator Instruction Book, have training, and
know the safety rules and regulations for the job.
Some regulations specify that no one under the age
of 16 years, for example, may operate power
machinery. This includes tractors. It is your
responsibility to know what these regulations are,
and obey them, in the operating area or situation.
These will include, but are not limited to, the following
instructions for safe tractor operation.

Introduction
Protective structures
ROPS
A Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) and seat
belt is fitted as standard equipment to the footstep
tractor at the time of factory assembly. If the ROPS
was removed by the original purchaser or has been
removed, it is recommended that you equip your
tractor with a Roll Over Protective Structure and a
seat belt. ROPS are effective in reducing injuries
during overturn accidents. Overturning a tractor
without ROPS can result in serious injury or death
(Fig. 3).
If a fold down ROPS is installed DO NOT wear seat
belt when the ROPS is in the folded down position.
Operation
*Before using the tractor ensure that the ROPS
frame
is not damaged, that it is securely fastened to the
tractor and if a hinged section is fitted that it is in
the
raised position and secured.
Fig. 3
*If the ROPS has been removed from the tractor,
or
folded down for a specific operation, it must be
refitted or erected immediately afterwards using
the proper hardware and applying the
recommended torque values.
*DO NOT attach chains, ropes, or cables to the
ROPS
for pulling purposes; this will cause the tractor to
tip
backwards. Always pull from the tractor drawbar.
*Always wear your seat belt - adjusted snugly
except
when operating with a folded down ROPS.
*Check the seat belt for damage. A damaged seat
belt must be replaced (Fig. 4).
Damage to the ROPS
Fig. 4
If the tractor has rolled over or the ROPS has been
damaged (such as striking an overhead object during
transport), the ROPS must be replaced to provide
the original degree of protection.
After an accident, check for damage to the ROPS,
operator's seat, seat belt and seat belt mountings.
Before you operate the tractor, replace all damaged
parts.
DO NOT WELD, DRILL, BEND OR STRAIGHTEN
THE ROPS. To do so reduces the protection it offers.

Safety Notes
Starting
Warn personnel before starting
Before starting, walk completely around the tractor
and any attached equipment. Make sure that no one
is under it, on it, or close to it. Let other workers and
bystanders know you are starting up and don't start
until everyone is clear of the tractor, implements and
towed equipment. Ensure that all bystanders,
particularly children, are a suitable distance away
before starting the engine.
Mount and dismount safely
Always use 'three point contact' with the machine,
and face the machine when you mount it. (Three
point contact means both hands and one foot or one
hand and both feet are in contact with the machine
at all times during mounting and dismounting). Clean
your shoes and wipe your hands before climbing on.
Use handrails, grab handles, ladders or steps (as
provided) when mounting or dismounting. DO NOT
use control levers as a hand hold and never step on
foot controls when mounting or dismounting. DO
NOT attempt to mount or dismount from a moving
tractor. DO NOT jump off a tractor other than in an
emergency.
Fig. 11
Start safely
WARNING: Before starting the engine
make sure there is plenty of ventilation.
DO NOT operate the engine in a closed
building. The exhaust fumes may cause
asphyxiation.
Always start the engine from the operator's seat with
all the transmission levers and the PTO lever in
neutral. Make sure that the tractor's dual brake pedals
are locked together at all times unless you are making
turns in the field which require independent use of
the brakes. Make sure the brakes are properly
adjusted so that both brakes engage at the same
time. Adjust the seat, fasten the seat belt, apply the
parking brake and put all controls in neutral before
starting up.
DANGER: Start the engine, with the
starter key, from the operator's seat
only. DO NOT attempt to start the
engine by shorting across the starter
terminals. The machine will start in
gear if the neutral start circuit is bypassed. This
could cause serious injury or death to anyone in
the vicinity
of the tractor (Fig. 11). Ensure that the engine
starter solenoid cover is always in position.
Fig. 12
Starting fluid
WARNING: DO NOT use aerosol types
aids such as ether (Fig. 12) . Such use
could result in an explosion and
personel injury.
Follow recommended starting procedures
Follow the starting procedures recommended in the
Operation section of this Operator Instruction Book.
This includes normal starting, cold starting, and the
use of starting fluids.
Test the controls
After starting, re-check all gauges and lights. Make
sure everything is functioning correctly. If the tractor
does not respond correctly when each control is
operated, DO NOT use the machine until the fault
is rectified.

Safety Notes
Work safely
WARNING: An unbalanced tractor could
overturn and cause injury or death.
Make sure front frame counterweights,
wheel weights and wheel ballast are
used as recommended by the
manufacturer. DO NOT add extra counterweights
to compensate for an overloaded tractor, it is
recommended to reduce the load. Keep all parts
of your body inside the operator's compartment
Make the right moves
Make sure your tractor is ready for the job it must
do. Know the rated load capacities of your tractor
and never exceed them. Be certain that any equipment
or implements you intend to use DO NOT exceed
the load rating of your tractor. Be sure the tractor and
implement PTO speed match. Keep in mind that
tractors normally operate on uneven, unpaved, and
often bumpy or sloping surfaces. Operating conditions
can reduce the amount of weight you should carry
or pull.
Follow safe operating practices
*Operate the controls smoothly - don't jerk the
steering wheel or other controls.
*DO NOT get on or off a moving tractor. Keep a
firm grip on the steering wheel at all times, with
the thumbs clear of the spokes when driving the
tractor.
*Make sure you have adequate clearance in all
directions for tractor, cab, ROPS and implement.
*DO NOT play games with a tractor or equipment.
Use only for intended purpose.
*DO NOT attempt to work the controls except from
the operator's seat.
*DO NOT carry passengers (Fig. 13).
*Before dismounting, always disengage the PTO,
lower all attachments and implements to the ground,
place the tractor in neutral, engage parking brake,
shut off the engine and remove the key.
DO NOT touch, lean on, or reach through any
implement mechanism or permit others to do so.
Stay alert. Should something break, come loose, or
fail to operate on your equipment, stop work, lower
equipment to the ground, shut off the engine, inspect
the machine and have repairs or adjustments made
before resuming operation.
Watch out for others
*Be aware of what is going on. DO NOT allow an
untrained or unqualified person to operate your
tractor. They could injure themselves or someone
else.

WARNING: Your tractor is a one-person
machine. DO NOT permit others to ride
on the tractor or the implement (Fig.
13). DO NOT allow anyone to ride on
the implements or other equipment
including trailers, except on certain harvesting
equipment, specifically designed for riders during
the actual harvest operation only (not during
transport). Such equipment must have provision
for a safe riding area. DO NOT allow children on
the tractor.
*Be certain you can control both speed and direction
before moving. Move slowly until you are sure that
everything is operating properly. After starting,
recheck the steering, right and left. Be certain you
have full steering and brake control. If differ ential
is locked, DO NOT operate at high speed or turn
the tractor until the differential lock is disengaged.
*DO NOT lift a load over anyone (Fig. 14).

allow anyone to stand or pass under a raised
implement (Fig. 14).
*DO NOT lift objects that can not be contained in
the bucket, get the appropriate attachment. DO
NOT allow anyone to stand on the ROPS or
fenders.
*When using a loader, avoid sudden stops, starts,
turns, or change of direction. Keep loads close to
the ground when transporting.
*DO NOT stand (or allow anyone else to stand) in
front of, under, or behind loaded or loading
equipment. DO NOT drive a tractor up to someone
standing in front of a fixed object.
*Keep others away from universal joints, hitches,
drawbar, lift arms, PTO drives, cylinders, belts,
pulleys, and other moving parts. Keep all shields
and guards in place.
Fig. 15
WARNING: DO NOT stand, or allow
anyone else to stand, between the
tractor and implement unless the
engine is turned off and the parking
brake is engaged, the transmission is
in neutral, the key is removed, and all attachments
or implements are lowered to the ground.
Risk of overturning
For your safety, it is strongly recomended that all
footstep tractors are fitted with Roll Over Protective
Structures (ROPS) and seat belts.
In the event of an overturn with a tractor (Fig. 15)
fitted with a cab or ROPS, hold the steering wheel
firmly and DO NOT attempt to leave the seat until
the tractor has come to rest.
To avoid side overturns
*Set the wheel track at the widest setting suitable
for the job being done.
*Lock the brake pedals together before driving at
transport speeds.
*Reduce speed to match operating conditions. If
the tractor is equipped with a front-end loader,
carry the bucket and load as low as possible.
*Make wide slow turns at reduced speed. Don't let
your tractor bounce. You may lose steering control.
*Don't pull a load too heavy for your tractor. It could
run away on the down slope or the tractor could
jack-knife around a towed load.
*Don't brake suddenly. Apply brakes smoothly and
gradually.
*When going down a slope, use the throttle to slow
the tractor engine and use the same gear range
you would use to go up the slope. Shift into gear
before you start downhill.
*Engage powered front axle (if fitted), this will give
four wheel braking.

UZEL
WARNING: DO NOT disengage the
clutch or attempt to shift gear after you
have started downhill.
*It is less likely that the tractor will overturn i f you
travel straight up or down a steep slope rather than
across it.
*Avoid crossing steep slopes if possible. If you
must do so, avoid any holes or depressions on the
downhill side. Avoid any stumps, rocks, bumps or
raised areas on the uphill side. When operating
near ditches and banks, always keep your tractor
behind the shear line (Fig. 16). Avoid ditches,
embankments and river-banks which might cave
in.
*If it is necessary to cross a steep slope, avoid
turning uphill, slow down and make a wid e
turn.Travel directly up or down the slope, never
across it. When traveling up or down a slope, keep
the heavy end of the tractor on the uphill side.
*If when traveling across a slope with side mounted
implements, keep the implement on the uphill side.
Don't raise the implements. Keep them as low to
the ground as possible when crossing a slope.
*When towing a load at transport speed or in the
field, lock the drawbar in the centre position and
use a safety chain.
*DO NOT use your tractor to round up farm animals.

Safety Notes
To avoid rear overturns
WARNING: Hitching to the rear axle, or
any other point above the swinging
drawbar, can cause a rear overturn.
*DO NOT pull anything using the top link
connection, or from any point above the centre line
of the rear axle. Always use an approved Massey
Ferguson drawbar, and only use a drawbar pin
that locks in place.
*High hitching can cause rear overturn, which may
cause serious injury or death. Hitch loads to the
drawbar only.
*Only use a three-point linkage drawbar when stays
are fitted to keep it in the down position.
*Use front counterweights to increase tractor
stability when towing a heavy load or to counter
balance a heavy rear mounted implement (Fig.17).
*Start forward slowly and gradually increase your
speed. DO NOT rev the engine or drop the clutch.
If the tractor is attached to a heavy load, or
immovable object, improper clutching may cause
overturn.
*If the front end of the tractor starts to lift, reduce
your speed and, if necessary, disengage the clutch.
*If your tractor is bogged down in mud or frozen
to the ground, DO NOT attempt to drive forwards.
The tractor can rotate around its rear wheels and
overturn. Lift any attached implement and attempt
to BACK OUT. If this is not possible, tow it out with
another vehicle.
*If you get stuck in a ditch, BACK OUT, if possible.
If you must go forward, do it slowly and carefully.
*A bare tractor or tractor with rear mounted
attachments should be backed up the slope in
reverse and travel forward downhill.
*A tractor with a loaded front-end bucket should
be backed down the slope and travel forward uphill.
Keep the loader bucket as low as possible.
*Always keep the tractor in gear when going
downhill. DO NOT permit the tractor to coast with
clutch disengaged or transmission in neutral.

Safety Notes
General operating hazards
*Ensure that the PTO shield (1) is in place and
that the PTO cap (2) is fitted when the PTO driveline
is not in use (Fig. 18).
*Before attaching, detaching, cleaning or adjusting
PTO driven implements, disengage the PTO, stop
the engine, remove the key, and make sure that
the PTO driveline has stopped.
*Ensure that all the PTO driveline guards are in
place and observe all safety de cals (Fig. 19).
*Be sure everyone is clear of your machine before
engaging the PTO. For stationary PTO operation,
always place transmission in neutral, engage
parking brake, and chock both tractor and
implement wheels.
*When operating mobile PTO driven equipment,
DO NOT leave the tractor seat until the PTO drive
is disengaged, the transmission is in neutral, the
parking brake is engaged, the engine shut off and
the key removed.
*DO NOT use PTO adaptors, reducers or
extensions as they extend the PTO c oupler and
universal joint out beyond the protection offered
by the PTO shield.
*The top link and lift rods must not be extended
beyond the point where threads begin to show.

DANGER: DO NOT attempt to unplug
the hydraulic connections, or adjust
an impl ement with the engine running
or the PTO drive in operation. To do
so may result in very serious injury or death.
*When using chemicals, carefully follow the chemical
manufacturer's instructions for use, storage and
disposal. Also follow the chemical application
equipment manufacturer's instructions.
*When operating under poor visibility conditions, or
in the dark, use your tractor field lights and reduce
your ground speed. DO NOT use your field lights
when travelling on a roadway because rear pointed
white lights may be illegal except when reversing
and may confuse following drivers.
*Operate your tractor with the wheels set at the widest
setting possible, consistent with the particular task
you are performing. To adjust wheel settings refer to
Maintenance and Adjustment section.
*Reduce your speed when operating over rough or
slippery ground and when foliage restricts your view
of hazards.

Safety Notes
Implements and attachments
WARNING: A front-end loader (bucket
or forks) must be equipped with a
suitable restraining device to prevent
the load (bales, fence posts, rolls of
fence, wire etc.) from rolling down the
lift arms into the operator's compartment and
crushing the driver when the loader is raised.
Inadequately secured objects could also fall and
injure bystanders.
*Three-point hitch and side mounted implements
make a much larger arc when turning than towed
equipment. Make certain to allow sufficient
clearance for turning. Use only Massey Ferguson
approved attachments and implements.
*When using attachments or im plements with the
tractor, be sure to thoroughly read the Operator
Instruction Book for that attachment or implement
and follow its safety instructions.
*DO NOT overload an attachment or towed
equipment. Use proper counter -weights to maintain
tractor stability. Hitch loads to the drawbar only.
*A safety chain will help control drawn equipment
should it be accidentally separated from the drawbar
while transporting. Using the appropriate adaptor
parts, attach the chain to the tractor drawbar support
or other specified anchor location. Provide only
enough slack in the chain to permit turning. See
your Massey Ferguson Dealer for a chain with a
strength rating equal to, or greater than the gross
weight of the towed machine (Fig. 20).
*Make sure any towed implements are equipped
with a safety chain linking tractor and implement.
*Pull only from the approved drawbar. Towing or
attaching to other locations may cause the tractor
to overturn (Fig. 21).
Safety - towing
*For towed equipment WITHOUT brakes, DO NOT
tow equipment: at speeds over 32 km/h(20miles/hour),
that, when fully loaded, weighs more than 1.5 times
the weight of the towing unit.
*For towed equipment WITH brakes, DO NOT tow
equipment: at speeds over 40 km/h (25 miles/hour),
that, when fully loaded, weighs more than 4.5 times
the weight of the towing unit.
NOTE: Tractor requires correct trailer braking
equipment be installed and connected to the
equipment. Stopping distance increases with speed
and weight of towed loads, and on hills and sl opes.
Towed loads with or without brakes that are too heavy
for the tractor or aretowed too fast can cause loss of
control. Consider the total weight of the equipment
and its load.

Operation
Normal starting - cold weather (Glow plugs)
WARNING: On tractors with hydrostatic
steering full power steering is not
immediately available when the tractor
is started in very cold conditions, below
0°C (32°F). In these conditions allow the tractor
engine to run for three minutes before driving
the tractor.
CAUTION: DO NOT use aerosol types
of starting aids such as ether. Such
use could result in an explosion and
personal injury. The engine is equipped
with glow plugs cold weather starting aid.
Use the glow plugs, particularly in temperatures below
0°C (32°F).

Operation
Running-in
A gradual running in of a new engine is not necessary.
Prolonged operation with light loads during the early
life of the engine is not recommended. DO NOT
operate the engine at high speeds without a load.
The following precautions should be taken during
the running-in period:
1. Experience has shown that the first 50 hours of
tractor operation have a significant effect on the
performance and life of the engine. From new, the
tractor should be engaged in work which will load
the engine as near as possible to full working
conditions.
2. Use low gear when pulling heavy loads.
3. During the running-in period, check frequently the
tightness of all screws, bolts, nuts, etc.
4. To ensure proper clutch life, care must be taken
to bed-in the friction plates properly. During the first
50 hours a careful watch must be kept on the clutch
pedal free travel, which should be adjusted as soon
as the pedal travel decreases.
Fig. 46
Travel speed chart
Use of the travel speed chart
A typical travel speed chart is illustrated in (Fig.
46&47). The following instructions should be applied
to the chart on the instrument panel or fixed to the
tractor. Used in conjunction with the tachometer, the
travel speed chart performs two basic functions:
1. Checking the tractor ground speed when traveling
in a speed limited area.
2. Establishing the correct gear and engine speed at
which to operate in order to comply with the
requirements of certain PTO driven implements, e.g.
spinner broadcasters or sprayers, etc.
To read the travel speed chart:
1. The bold horizontal bars on the chart represent
the ground speed range in each gear, between the
two engine speeds given in the inset below the tractor.
2. The small inverted arrow in the horizontal bar
indicates the point within each ground speed range
at which the PTO shaft will be operating at 540 rpm
(engine set at 1685 rpm). This can be related to the
road speed in kph or mph at the top and bottom of
the chart.
3. The numbers on the left of the chart are the gear
ranges, 1st to 4th in the low range, 5th to 8th in the
high range.
4. The information in the box gives the engine
operating speed range, in this example, 1500 to 2250
rpm. The 540 pto engine speed is 1685 rpm for Live
PTO. If the tractor has IPTO, the engine speed is
1789 rpm for the 540 pto speed.
5. Example of use:
Require 540 PTO speed at 8 kph (5 mph) road speed.
Set engine speed to 1685 rpm, on the chart select
the horizontal bar where the small inverted arrow is
opposite, or close to the 8 kph (5 mph) road speed,
in this case it is the bar for 5th gear.
Fig. 47
NOTE: Refer to the speed chart on your tractor for
the correct gear and speed range.

Operation
Operating the tractor
WARNING: Before operating the tractor,
familiarize yourself with the function
of the brakes, clutch, transmission,
PTO, differential lock and engine stop control.
Towing
CAUTION: When the engine is stopped,
hydraulic power assistance to the
steering does not operate. The tractor
can be steered manually. In this
situation the tractor must be moved
slowly, with caution, DO NOT exceed 3 kph.
Before towing the tractor, move the PTO lever, and
all gear levers into neutral. The towing speed must
not exceed 3 kph.
Driving in deep water
If the tractor is operating in water 50 mm (2 in) or
less below the underside of the gearbox corrosion
damage can occur to major components. See your
Massey Ferguson Dealer for special water-proofing
instructions, otherwise the Warranty may be
invalidated.
Having started the engine
WARNING: On tractors fitted with an eight speed
shuttle gearbox, before engaging the main gear lever
check that the forward/reverse lever is in the central
(neutral) position.
*Beware of bystanders in the area especially when
reversing.
General operating advice
WARNING: Travel speed should be such that
complete control and machine stability is maintained
at all times. Where possible, avoid operating near
ditches, embankments and holes. Reduce speed
when turning, crossing slopes, and on rough, slippery
or muddy surfaces.
The following operating advice is important, particularly
when using a front end loader and a shuttle
transmission, if you do not heed this advice it will
affect the life of the main clutch:
1. DO NOT rest your foot on the clutch pedal.
2. DO NOT use the clutch as a brake.
3. DO NOT work the tractor by slipping the clutch,
this can result in over heating.
4. DO NOT use the clutch to hold the tractor on hills.
5. DO NOT use too high a gear.
6. DO NOT engage the clutch at high engine speed.
7. DO NOT coast down slopes with the tractor in
gear and the clutch disengaged, or with the
transmission in neutral.
8. The tractor MUST come to a stop before changing
direction.
40
Hand and foot throttle
WARNING: For road work, close the
hand throttle and only use the foot
throttle.
Operation of the foot throttle overrides the hand
throttle setting when increasing engine speed. When
the foot throttle is released, the engine will return to
the speed set by the hand throttle. When using the
foot throttle, the hand throttle must be fully closed.
1. Use the hand throttle to control the tractor speed
when working in the field.
2. Never work the tractor by slipping and re-engaging
the clutch, and at all times avoid riding the clutch
pedal, which can cause overheating and lead to total
clutch failure.
3. The use of flotation aids such as cage wheels or
strakes, particularly in low gear, must be avoided.
4. DO NOT move either the gear lever (except
synchromesh) or the dual range selector lever when
the tractor is moving.
5. Never coast down slopes with the tractor in gear
and the clutch disengaged, or with the transmission
in neutral.
Clutch pedal operation
The clutch release systems have a very light actuation
to benefit the operator. Operators must NOT rest
their foot on the pedal as clutch slip is soon induced.
The clutch pedal is used to temporarily disengage
the drive. The operator must use the clutch pedal as
follows:
1. When starting the engine in cold weather.
2. To start the tractor moving from stationary.
3. To select DIRECTION.
4. To engage the PTO (standard PTO only).
IMPORTANT: DO NOT ride the clutch pedal when
the transmission is under load. Release the clutch
pedal completely for improved clutch service life.
Always push the pedal down to disengage the
transmission when making a quick stop.

Operation
Selecting the correct gear
Select the gear which will give the best fuel
consumption without overloading the engine or
transmission. Also remember that ground conditions
in the same field may vary almost every few meters,
therefore, select the gear in which the engine will
operate satisfactorily at just three-quarters maximum
power.
The dual range selector lever, (2,Fig. 48) provides
the working and transport ranges for the tractor as
follows:
H - High - Transport range.
Key symbol - Neutral - Start.
L - Low - Work range.
8 x 2 Syncromesh Gearbox - 410
The main gear lever (1,Fig. 48) provides the operating
gears within the range selected. The range lever on
the right (2) selects the range, forwards for LOW (L)
and backwards for HIGH (H) range.
8 x 8 Shuttle Gearbox - 420/430
The main gear lever (1,Fig. 49) provides the operating
gears within the range selected. The range lever on
the right (2) selects the range, forwards for LOW (L)
and backwards for HIGH (H) range.
The shuttle lever (3) is used to change quickly between
forwards and reverse. It has syncromesh on 3rd and
4th and the forward reverse shuttle
Fig. 48
NOTE: The tractor must be stationary when changing
gear.
Four-wheel drive (if fitted)
WARNING: tractors equipped with fourwheel drive have increased traction
and can climb steeper slopes. Keep off
slopes too steep for safe operation. To
prevent rear overturns, reverse up the steeper
slopes.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT operate the tractor in four
wheel drive while on the road, as this leads to
premature front tire wear and excessive fuel
consumption.
Fig. 49
Four-wheel drive transmission greatly improves
traction and braking in all field conditions. The drive
to the front wheels is designed to be engaged or
disengaged with the tractor stationary or moving.
The tractor is equipped with a mechanical type of
engagement which can be engaged or disengaged
on the move. Anticipate the need for four-wheel drive
and make sure that neither rear wheel is slipping
then engage or disangaged when the tractor is moving
slowly. To engaged the four -wheel drive (Fig.50)
push the control knob DOWN. A green light on the
instrument panel will indicate engagement.
To disengaged pull the control knob UP.

always be locked together to ensure
uniform brake application and
maximum stopping ability. Only unlock
the brakes when making sharp turns. Sharp turns
must only be made at slow speeds.
CAUTION: ALWAYS apply the parking
brake when dismounting from the
tractor.
1. When the tractor is being operated for stationary
work, even if only for short periods, always engage
the parking brake.
2. The independent brakes may be used to assist
turning when traveling very slowly. Never apply one
brake when turning at high speed.
3. A standard parking brake is fitted. Ensure that it
is fully released before driving away.
4. When using the tractor on the road, lock your brake
pedals together using the latch.

Operation
Creeper gearbox (optional for MF 410/420/430)
The creeper gearbox is located between the
transmission and the rear axle housing. It gives the
option of reducing the speed of the tractor in the ratio
of 4:1, beside allowing the use of normal speeds.
The creeper gearbox offers double the number of
speeds in forward and reverse.
The operating lever, located in the middle of the
gearbox cover permits engagement of the creeper
gearbox or use of the normal transmission. The tractor
must be stopped with the clutch fully depressed in
order to move the lever.
Move the lever forward to the HARE position (Fig.
57) to the position where the creeper gearbox is
disengaged and the tractor speeds are normal. Move
the lever rearwards through neutral to the TORTOISE
position for engagement of the creeper gearbox and
the provision of very low speeds. Implements requiring
the use of a creeper gearbox are those used for
planting, transplanting and drainage operations.
Fig. 57
Hydraulic lift system
WARNING: Before operating any of the
controls ensure that all bystanders are
clear of the tractor and its implements.
The Ferguson hydraulic system combines the tractor
and implement into one unit with the implement
hydraulically controlled. This system has the following
controls:
Draft control, (1,Fig. 58) operates in the Yellow
(Draft) range of the quadrant and is used to control
the working depth of soil-engaging implements. The
further the lever is moved to the DOWN position, the
deeper the implement will tend to penetrate the
ground and, conversely, the nearer the lever is to the
UP mark, the shallower the implement will tend to
work.
Position control, (2) operates on the Red (Position
and Transport) and Blue (Constant Pumping) range
of the quadrant. The Red sector is used to control
the working height of implements above the ground.
When the lever is in the Blue sector, the tractor's lift
pump hydraulic power can be used to operate a
hydraulic tipping trailer, simple front end loader, low
power hydraulic motor or auxiliary hydraulic control
valve. It can also supplement the auxiliary system to
give additional speed. The quadrant has a stop to
prevent inadvertent location in constant pumping.
Push the control lever slightly outward and then select
the constant pumping position. Adjustable stops,
hand knobs (3) lock the adjustable stop in place when
the desired working depth or height is reached.
Response control
This control (Fig. 59, 1) is used to control the rate of
drop of the lower links and the attached implement.
Rotate the knob counterclockwise (-) for slow, and
clockwise (+) for fast.

Operation
Auxiliary control valve (if fitted)
The control valves and levers are located on the
right-hand side of the seat (Fig. 64). The levers (1,
2) operate the control valves on the rear of the tractor.
Each valve has a control spindle for the selection of
single- or double-acting operation.
It is used on equipment requiring the use of hydraulic
controls using single- or double-acting hydraulic rams
and low input hydraulic motors.
Hydraulic self-sealing, quick-release, couplers are
situated at the rear of the tractor (Fig. 65). Hydraulic
hoses can be coupled or uncoupled, without any loss
of oil. A decal is positioned near the quick-release
couplers which shows the numbered connectors
which correspond to the control lever movements.
Before attaching the hoses be sure that the quickrelease couplers and hose ends are clean and free
from dirt.
To connect, push the implement hose connector into
the quick-release coupler. To disconnect, with the
engine stopped, relieve any pressure by operating
the control levers through their entire range at least
twice. Push the coupler slightly into the connector
and then pull out quickly. The couplers will
automatically uncouple and seal, preventing any loss
of oil. After disconnecting, put protective covers (4,
Fig. 65) on all hose connectors to prevent dirt getting
in.
NOTE: If the implement accidently becomes
disconnected from the tractor the hoses will
automatically uncouple, preventing damage to the
hoses.
Auxiliary hydraulic control valve sections
The tractor is normally fitted with two spring return
valve section, they are spring loaded so they
automatically return to the neutral position when
released.
Each valve section, (Fig. 66) has a control spindle
(3) at the base of the section for the selection of
single- or double-acting cylinders. Screw IN for
double acting cylinders, screw OUT for single acting
cylinders.
Operation - single-acting rams
To operate single-acting rams, screw the control
spindle (3,Fig. 66) fully out, and use only the coupler
marked(1, Fig. 65). Ensure that the implement hoses
are correctly connected to the tractor couplers. Refer
to the appropriate implement Operator Instruction
Book.
To extend the ram, pull the lever back. To retract the
ram, push the lever forwards.

Operation
Operation - hydraulic motors
Although the standard valve section is not specifically
designed for use with hydraulic motors, these valves
can be used satisfactorily, if the following points are
observed.
1. Always connect the motor feed to the coupler (1
or 2, Fig. 65).
2. NEVER connect the motor return to the quickrelease couplers. Contact your Massey Ferguson
Dealer when fitting a hydraulic motor to ensure that
the hydraulic circuit is completely satisfactory and
the return line is connected directly to the transmission
case.
NOTE: A special control valve section is available
for use with hydraulic motors. For details of this and
other specialized control valves contact your Massey
Ferguson Dealer.
When in use the linkage cannot be raised or lowered.
Operating a front end loader
When operating a front end loader using the tractor
auxiliary hydraulic control valve fitted with a detent
system, great care must be taken to prevent the load
rolling down the lift arms when fully raised. The detent
system holds the control lever in either the UP or
DOWN position until the hydraulic cylinder is either
fully extended or closed. A lever partially pulled back
will return to neutral automatically when released.
Observe the following operational points:
1. Keep your hand on the control valve lever during
the lifting operation, ready to select neutral when the
correct height is attained.
2. Observe the load and position of the lift arms at
all times.
3. Only select the detent position when the type of
maneuver requires it.
4. Observe the following warning:
WARNING: When using the hydraulics
to operate a front end loader (bucket
or forks) it must be equipped with a
suitable restraining device to prevent
the load (hay bales, fence posts, rolls
of fence wire, etc.) from rolling down the lift arms
into the operator's compartment and crushing
the driver. The ROPS frame is not designed or
intended to protect the operator from loads falling
down the lift arms.
Using implements requiring large volumes of oil
Implements with large cylinders can remove
substantial volumes of hydraulic oil from the
transmission/hydraulic system of the tractor. Carry
out the following procedure:
1. Cycle all implement cylinders after starting the
tractor.
2. Check the transmission/hydraulic oil level, (see
Maintenance section); ensure that the level is up to
the 'MAX' mark on the dip stick.
3. Check the transmission/hydraulic oil level Daily or
Every 10 Hours.

Operation
Fig. 66
Lifting linkage
The lower links, (4,Fig. 66) absorb most of the load
exerted by a mounted, or semi-mounted implement.
The links are raised and lowered by the action of the
lift arms.The lift arms are connected to the lift rods
(3) and (6) which couple the lift arms to the lower
links (4). The lower links are ball jointed to allow the
implement to float sideways slightly when operating,
but excessive sideplay which would allow the
implement to contact the rear tires is prevented by
the lower link stabizers (2).
The right-hand lift rod (6) can be adjusted for length
to facilitate the fitting of implements, or leveling the
implement to allow the tractor to work at a different
angle in relation to the ground. The leveling lever (7)
is used to screw or unscrew the upper and lower
components of the lift rod to adjust the length.

Top link
WA R N I N G : D O N O T, i n a n y
circumstances, attempt to pull or tow
from the top link connection. DO NOT
operate the tractor with the threads showing.
The top link, (1,Fig. 66) length is adjusted by turning
the sleeve. The latch must be pulled back before the
sleeve can be turned. The top link is adjusted when
the implement is fitted to give the correct operating
angle. When transporting the tractor, hook the link
into the raised position using the stowage hook.
Lift rod length
The lift rod, (3) must be set to the correct length to
obtain the optimum implement depth and maximum
transport height. The left-hand lift rod length
(dimension 'A' ) is set at the factory to 573 mm (22.56
in). For normal lift height, fit the linkage as shown in
(Fig.66). If an implement is fitted which requires a
higher lift capacity, the lift rods can be relocated in
an alternative hole, (5). This latter position reduces
the operating arc of the lower link end.
NOTE: The lift rod bolts must always be adjusted so
that they can rotate. The bolts must also be through
the corresponding holes in both lower link arms.
410/420/430 - 001 8903 U1
UZEL
Operation
Lower links
When fitting implements to the lower links, always fit
the left-hand link first and use the levelling lever, as
necessary, to assist in the fitting of the right -hand
link. The maximum recommended lift load for normal
working is 1415 kg .
Interchangeable ball ends
To change ball ends (Fig. 67) from Category 1 to
Category 2 or vice versa, proceed as follows:
1. Pull the spring clip upwards, as shown.
2. Rotate the ball until the narrow section aligns with
the slot in the lower link, then remove the ball. The
ball comes out from one side only.
3. Fit the new ball by locating it with the narrow
section in line with the slot, then refit the spring clip
as shown.
NOTE: Always ensure that with the implement fitted
the linkage can travel through its full range without
straining the stabilizers.
CAUTION: When servicing or adjusting
implements mounted on the 3 -point
linkage in the raised position, observe
the following precautions:
*The implement must be supported on a stand or
other suitable blocking to support the implement
at all times.
*Ensure that the stand and tractor are on firm level
ground.
*Never use concrete blocks, bricks or old rotted
timbers for support. They collapse - even under
light loads.
*DO NOT work under any implement supported
on a jack.
Fig. 67
NOTE: Always ensure that with the implement fitted
the linkage can travel through its full range without
straining the stabilizers.
Stabilizers
The stabilizers (Fig. 68) will control the sway of the
lower links and attached equipment when in work or
being transported. This is especially important when
operating on slopes or near fences, walls or ditches
and with certain implements. Check your Implement
Operator Instruction Book.
Once fitted the stabilizers need not be removed from
the tractor, but to ensure easy and efficient operation
the following points must be observed:
1. Check chains must be removed when the
stabilizers are fitted.
2. Ensure that the stabilizers have sideways
movement when the links are fully raised.
Stabilizer adjustment:
1. For fine adjustment (Fig. 68). Rotate the
turnbuckle(1) as required.
2. For coarse adjustment, remove the lock pin (2)
and lengthen or shorten the stabilizer as required.
Replace the lock pin.

Attaching an implement
WARNING: If two people are involved
in attaching an implement, great care
must be taken. When making any
adjustment to the hydraulic lift system the person
in the area of the linkage must stand clear.
1. Place the Draft Control Lever in the fully raised
position.
2. Lower the links using Position Control, back the
tractor up to the implement, raise the lower links
so that the left-hand link is in line with the pin on
the implement.
3. Apply the parking brake before dismounting from
the tractor.
4. Fit the left-hand lower link first and secure with a
lynch-pin. If any small up and down adjustments
of the lower links are necessary they must be
made from the driver's seat.
5. Attach the right-hand lower link to the implement.
Use the leveling lever if necessary to adjust the
height of the link, then fit the lynch-pin.
6. Attach the top link to the hitch point on the tractor
(Fig. 69).
Fig. 69
On implements which have variable top and bottom
attachment points, the linkage should be connected
in accordance with the dimensions given in Table 1
depending on the category of linkage used (Fig. 70).

With heavy implements this will reduce unnecessary
strain on the tractor and loss of lift capacity. Some
implements have two or more optional positions for
the lower links. Providing the implement will penetrate
to the required depth, reasonably rapidly, it is usually
best to use the lowest pick-up point provided. This
will give the maximum weight transfer, minimize
hydraulic system pressure and power losses. Also
giving maximum transport height and allowing the
use of the correct 'A' frame height setting on the
implements.
7. If the leveling lever was used to facilitate the
attachment of the right-hand lower link, adjust the
right-hand lift rod to its normal operating length by
screwing the lift rod in or out until the implement is
level.
8. Adjust the top link as necessary to level the
implement
9. Adjust the length of the stabilizer (Fig. 68).
10. Connect the implement to the PTO shaft, if
required, and attach guards (see page 43).
11. Raise and lower the implement, checking
clearances and general operation.

Detaching an implement
WARNING: If two people are involved
in detaching an implement, great care
must be taken. When making any
adjustment to the hydraulic lift system
the person in the area of the linkage must stand
clear.
1. Select a level area as this will make detaching
much easier.
2. Lower the implement using Position Control (see
page 45), or where necessary, raise the implement
to fix parking stands in position then lower the
implement to the ground
3. Stop the engine and apply the parking brake before
dismounting from the tractor.
4. Unscrew the top link to remove the weight of the
implement and remove the pivot pin. Stow the
lynchpin, and then stow the top link in its clip.
5. Detach the lower links and stow the lynch-pins in
the links in the stowage points provided.
6. Open up the PTO shield and the shaft.
7. Disconnect hydraulic hoses and cap the ends.
Replace the dust caps on the control valve
couplings.
8. Start the engine and drive the tractor forward
before returning the Position Control to the
'Transport'' position.
Fig. 71
Pressure relief valve
Avoid using the tractor hydraulic system in any way
which may cause the pressure relief valve (which is
internal), to discharge continually. This can be caused
by attempting to raise a load at the lower links, greater
than that which the system is capable of lifting.
Although the relief valve will prevent damage to other
parts of the hydraulic system, unnecessary discharge
must be avoided, as damage to the relief valve may
result in over heating the system and a reduction in
the maximum hydraulic pressure.
Safety chains
When towing implements on the highway, use a
safety chain (Fig. 71) with a tensile strength equal to
or greater than the gross weight of the implement to
be towed by the tractor. This will control and retain
the implement in the event that the hitch pin is lost.
After attaching the safety chain, make a trial run by
driving the tractor to the right and to the left for a
short distance to check the safety chain adjustment.
If necessary, readjust to eliminate tight or loose chain.

To and from the drawbar
WARNING: A rear turn-over can result
if pulling from the wrong location on
the tractor. Hitch only from the drawbar.
Use the 3-point linkage only with
implements designed for its use, NOT as a
drawbar.
IMPORTANT: Follow the implement manufacturer's
recommendations in adjusting and aligning the
implement and implement driveline with the tractor.
The swinging drawbar may be fixed in any of a
number of positions or allowed to swing the full width
of the hanger. Fasten the drawbar in position using
the swing-limiting pins when pulling implements which
require accurate positioning and when transporting
on the road. If both tractor and implement are
equipped with a drawbar clevis, remove the clevis
from the tractor or implement. DO NOT put a long
drawbar pin through both the implement clevis and
the drawbar clevis. Allow the drawbar to swing when
pulling ground engaging implements which do not
require accurate positioning. This will make steering
and turning easier.
When connecting implements that are towed, use
the correct drawbar pin and lynch-pin, or, use a hard
steel pin and hold in place with a lock pin or cotter
pin. Make sure that the drawbar pin does not make
contact with the PTO driveline. When working with
the drawbar, raise the lift arms to the transport position.
When working with the PTO, set the drawbar to the
center position, lock in this position using the swing
limiting pins.
Fig. 72
The drawbar can swing or can be held at fixed
positions by relocating the stop pins in the drawbar
support frame.The drawbar can be inverted and the
clevis attachment bolted on either side to suit pick
up points of various implements (Fig. 73). There are
three length positions for the drawbar.
Swinging drawbar
This type of swinging drawbar (Fig. 72) cannot be
converted for use with an automatic trailer hitch.
WARNING: The drawbar must be
correctly set for the implement being
towed.
*DO NOT connect a tractor clevis to an
implement clevis as this will strain the drawbar
pin. Remove the bolt-on clevis from the tractor
drawbar to ensure a satisfactory hitch.
*Always secure the drawbar to prevent swinging
when transporting equipment or when operating
anything but ground engaging equipment.
*Always use the correct drawbar pin with a
securing device to prevent the pin coming out
during operation.

2. Secure the weight in place with the bolt.
Roll-over protective structure (ROPS)
The ROPS frame is designed to give protection to
the driver in the event of a roll-over. The 'fold-down'
frame can be folded down for transport on a truck,
or the tractor functionally used with the frame down
for low clearance situations such as orchards,
vineyards, barns and chicken houses etc. When the
ROPS frame is in the lowered position the seat belt
must NOT be worn. Drive with extra care. In this
position roll over protection is not provided. The
ROPS frame MUST be maintained in its fully raised
position at all times unless practical operations of
the tractor dictates otherwise as described above.
After raising the ROPS frame into its fully erected
position, lock it immediately. The seatbelt MUST be
worn. If the ROPS frame is damaged during operation:
DO NOT - weld, drill, bend or straighten.
DO NOT - use the tractor with a damaged frame.
Also observe the following:
DO NOT - attach chains, ropes or cables to the ROPS
frame for pulling purposes, always pull from the tractor
drawbar.
DO - ensure that the frame is securely fastened to
the tractor.
DO - ensure that all components are in correct working
order in order to provide the intended protection.
DO - use only original Massey Ferguson supplied
parts to maintain structural integrity.
WARNING: The following additional
safety precautions must be strictly
observed:
*Use a seat belt at all times unless the frame
is down, and keep it snugly adjusted.
*If the tractor is overturning, hold on to the
steering wheel. DO NOT attempt to jump clear.
If the ROPS frame is down, abandon the tractor
immediately.
*Ensure that the safety signs are located on
the frame at all times and that their instructions
are observed.
*If a sun canopy is fitted, it does not provide
the operator with protection from falling objects.

Preliminary service inspection
When your new Massey Ferguson tractor has
completed 50 hours work a Service Inspection is
recommended to be undertaken by your Dealer. This
involves a complete check of the tractor, routine
adjustments, checking oil levels and changing the
engine oil to remove factory fill oil and filter. Full
details will be found in the Tractor Service Record
Book.
IMPORTANT: A charge will be made for any filter
elements and lubricants used. Labor charges will be
at the discretion of your Dealer.
Please contact your Massey Ferguson Dealer to
agree a convenient time when this work can be
carried out. We strongly recommend you take
advantage of this postdelivery inspection and also
be present when the service is carried out. This will
provide an opportunity to discuss any operational
problems with the Service Technician.
Routine service
This section gives full details of the service procedures
necessary to maintain your tractor in peak efficiency.
Also information on how to make the adjustments
required in setting up the tractor for work.
In order to obtain the best results, it is important that
the tractor has regular preventive maintenance. It is
recommended that the major services (500 and 1000
hour) are conducted by your local Massey Ferguson
Dealer under the Massey Ferguson Recommended
Service Program. It must be remembered that the
responsibility for maintaining your tractor in a safe
and roadworthy condition rests with you, the owner.
Service the tractor at the intervals shown in the
following pages. Use only high quality lubricants
when servicing. It is a recommendation that
maintenance is done under cover, and at the end of
an operating period so that the oils are warm and
drain easily.
*Before using a grease gun, clean the grease
fittings.
*Before removing drain and filler plugs, clean the
area around the plug and cap.
*Always use a clean container for fresh oil or diesel.
Flexible maintenance
The term 'Flexible Maintenance' is used in this
publication to indicate a variable service period.
Flexible maintenance times vary according to
individual conditions of operation. You must establish
your own times for servicing flexible items. An average
interval time for checking is at fuel fill.
Protect the environment
It is illegal to pollute drains, water courses or soil.
Use authorized waste disposal facilities, including
civic amenity sites and companies providing facilities
for providing facilities for receipt of used oil. If in
doubt, contact your local authority for advice.

Safety in servicing
WARNING: When changing oil it is
important to follow some basic rules
on personal hygiene, these are as
follows:
*Before changing the oil use a suitable barrier
cream on your hands.
*Wear protective clothing, overalls, PVC gloves
etc.
*Wash off dirty oil with soap and water as soon
as you have finished changing the oil.
Contaminated clothing must be removed and
cleaned.
*Prolonged contact with dirty oil may affect
your health, therefore it is important that you
follow the above instructions.
*DO NOT service the tractor with the engine
running.
*Keep hands, tools and items of clothing clear
of all moving parts. Avoid skin contact with the
exhaust pipe and manifold. They may be hot
and will burn you.
*Keep children and pets clear of the tractor.
DO NOT allow anyone on the tractor unless
specifically working to your instructions.
*DO NOT work beneath the tractor with a lifting
jack as the only support. Place suitable stands
under the tractor as a safety precaution.
*Provide facilities for receipt of used oil. If in
doubt, contact your local authority for advice.

Engine oil
Engine oil level
Check the engine oil level - flexible maintenance.
Check the oil level before starting work each day. If
the engine has been running, stop the engine and
allow the oil to drain back into the sump. Check the
oil level with the dipstick (Fig. 85).
If necessary, remove the oil filler cap and top up with
fresh oil of the correct grade. To raise the oil level
from minimum to maximum it requires 1,5 liter (2 US
pts). The oil level must be maintained between the
'MIN' and 'MAX' marks on the dipstick with the tractor
standing on level ground.
Changing the engine oil
Change the engine oil at first 50 hours, then 250
hours thereafter.
1. With the tractor standing on level ground, place a
drain pan beneath the engine sump, then remove
the engine sump plug (Fig. 86).
2. Allow the old engine oil to drain out completely.
3. Refit the drain plug and tighten securely
4. Change the engine oil filter.
5. Refill the sump with an approved oil, so that the
oil level is between the 'MIN' and 'MAX' marks on
the dipstick.
NOTE: Run the engine to circulate the oil and check
for leakage. Time must then be allowed for the oil to
settle in the sump before rechecking the level. Top
up if necessary.
Engine oil filter
Change the engine oil filter at first 50 hours, then
250 hours thereafter. The picture of the filter element
(Fig. 85) shows a typical installation with a horizontal
filter. On some tractors the filter is vertical. The change
procedure is identical.
1. Put a drain pan under the filter to retain spilled oil.
2. Remove the filter canister (Fig. 85) with a strap
wrench or similar tool. Ensure that the threaded
adaptor is secure in the filter head. Then discard the
canister.
3. Clean the filter head .
4. Smear a few drops of clean engine oil on the
sealing ring .
5. Fit the new canister and tighten by hand only. DO
NOT use a strap wrench.

Removing air from the fuel system
If at any time air enters the fuel system, either due
to fuel system servicing, running out of fuel, tractor
standing idle for a considerable time or difficulty with
starting, the following procedure must be used to
remove air from the system:
NOTE: If air removal temporarily eliminates the
problem, but it occurs again, you must fully check
and test all fuel lines and connections. Loose fuel
connections and gasket surfaces, or damaged fuel
lines, can allow air to enter the system without showing
any apparent leakage.
1. Remove the cover for the fuel injectors (Fig. 90).
Refer to the Disassembly and assembly Manual.
2. Turn the key switch to the RUN position. Leave
the key switch in the RUN position for three minutes.

the tractor is not fitted with an air pre-cleaner check
the unloader valve (1,Fig. 93). Squeeze the valve
with the fingers to release the accumulated dust.
Clean the MAIN element - Flexible maintenance or
when the indicator light comes on.
Change the MAIN element every 1000 hours or
sooner if it is determined unfit for service.
CAUTION: Never use petrol (gasoline),
paraffin or cleaning solvents to clean
the elements.
*DO NOT attempt to blow the main element clean
using the tractor exhaust gases.
*DO NOT attempt to clean the inner secondary
element.
*NEVER add oil to a dry air cleaner.
*If servicing is not carried out when the indicator
light comes on the engine will lose power and

be renewed. If satisfactory, clean the element by
tapping both ends on the palm of the hand (Fig. 94).
DO NOT tap the element against a hard surface as
it will become damaged or distorted.
3. Alternatively, to remove dust, compressed air (Fig.
95), not exceeding 7 bar (100 psi) may be used.
Insert the air line nozzle inside the element and blow
the dust from the inside to the outside. Blow loose
particles from the outside of the element by holding
the nozzle at least 300 mm (12 in) from the element.
Protect your eyes when carrying out this operation.
4. Clean the inside of the air cleaner casing with a
damp lint-free cloth and refit the outer element
ensuring that the rubber sealing ring on the end is
secure.
5. If the indicator light comes on after a very short
interval of time, the main element is unfit for service
and must be renewed. However, if after renewal of
the main element, the indicator light stays on, the
inner element must also be renewed - DO NOT
attempt to clean it.

Cooling system
WARNING: High-pressure steam and
hot water. Remove the filler cap with
extreme care. DO NOT check or fill
while the engine is hot or running.
Antifreeze:
WARNING: It is very important that you
read the label on the container before
you add antifreeze to the cooling
system. The safety precautions are as
follows:
* Keep locked up and out of reach of children.
* Keep only in the original container.
* Avoid contact with the skin and eyes.
* Wear suitable protective clothing and gloves.
* Harmful by inhalation and if swallowed.
* If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and
show the label or container.
Coolant
Check the radiator coolant level - Flexible
maintenance.
DO NOT use an antifreeze solution for more than
two years (or 2000 hours) of operation. The heat
generated by the diesel engine causes a natural
change in the inhibitors in the coolant which results
in loss of corrosion protection. The loss of the inhibitors
may cause water pump cavitation and cylinder block
erosion.
1. To check the coolant level first remove the radiator
cap slowly to allow pressure to escape. DO NOT add
cold coolant to a hot system.
2. The coolant level must be maintained at 25 mm
(1 in) below the filler neck. Top up with antifreeze
solution of the correct strength.
Drain the cooling system every 1000 hours or
two years whichever is the sooner.
1. To drain the cooling system remove the radiator
cap slowly to allow any pressure to escape.
2. Remove the drain plugs at the bottom of the radiator
and from the cylinder block (Fig. 96).
3. If the old coolant is very dirty, flush out the system
with clean water.
4. Replace the plugs and reconnect the hose if
removed. Refer to Specifications for cooling system
capacities.The pre-mixing of water and antifreeze is
preferred. Use clean water and a 50% antifreeze
solution.
5. Run the engine for approximately five minutes to
remove all air from the system.
Fig. 96
Frost precautions (cold climate)
Antifreeze solutions must be added to the cooling
system water. Use Massey Ferguson Universal
Antifreeze, available from your local Massey Ferguson
Dealer. The correct proportion of coolant mixture is
50% water and 50% antifreeze.
DO NOT use more than 50% antifreeze solution in
the cooling system unless the ambient air temperature
will be less than -36o C (-31o F). More than 50%
decreases heat transfer and will cause the engine
temperature to be more than normal.
It should be remembered that an antifreeze solution
not only prevents freezing, it also contains an anticorrosion additive that protects the cooling system.
The mixing of different makes of antifreeze can lead
to the loss of corrosion protection and is therefore
not recommended.
IMPORTANT: If an antifreeze solution is not used
during freezing weather, the coolant must be drained
after work to prevent damage from freezing. Use the
procedure under draining the cooling system.
NOTE: It is advisable to use Massey Ferguson
antifreeze, it contains inhibitors to protect your engine

Radiator
Check the radiator fins for blockage - Flexible
maintenance.
The radiator fins (Fig. 97) must be checked for
blockage, they can be cleaned by blowing with
compressed air or a high-pressure washer not
exceeding 7 bar (100 psi). First remove the battery
then clean from the rear of the radiator and remove
the side panels to allow debris to escape. Fins blocked
with oily substances may be cleaned with a detergent
solution, preferably applied with a high pressure
washer. Check the coolant level and add coolant if
needed. Check the hoses, radiator, and pump for
leaks
NOTE: It is advisable to use Massey Ferguson
antifreeze, it contains inhibitors to protect your engine.
Clutch
Main clutch adjustment
Check the clutch adjustment every 100 hours.
When the tractor enters service, or has new clutch
linings fitted, the clutch must be carefully bedded in.
The clutch pedal linkage must be checked frequently
during the first 50 hours and necessary adjustments
made immediately. Subsequent checks must be
made at 100 hour intervals.
Procedure:
1. Insert a solid bar in the hole at the end of the clutch
operating shaft (1,Fig. 98) and rotate it clockwise
until resistance is felt.
2. Slacken the clamp bolt (2) securing the arm to the
shaft and set the distance between the lever (3) and
the stop plate (4) to 4 mm (0.156 in). This will give
a free pedal movement of 25 mm (1 in) at the pad.
3. Retighten the clamp bolt (2). Press the clutch pedal
down through its full travel five times, recheck the
free travel and readjust if necessary.
Live PTO clutch
Check the clutch setting every 1000 hours.

Check the clutch adjustment more frequently if heavy
PTO work has been involved.
1. Remove the four bolts and the inspection cover
from the underside of the clutch housing (Fig. 99).
2. Unplug harness from the fuel shut-off solenoid,
then rotate the engine until one of the three adjusters
is visible in the inspection aperture.
3. With the aid of a feeler gauge, check the clearance
'A' between the bolt head and the clutch plate. It
should be 1.8 mm (0.070 in).
4. If adjustment is required, slacken the nut and adjust
the bolt to the correct clearance and retighten the
nut.
5. Carry out the same procedure for the other two
adjusters and replace the inspection cover.

Toe-in adjustment
20.11 SD model front axle with a limited slip differential
type is mounted on MF 430 4WD tractors.
Put two equal one-meter-long linear bars on the
wheel sides and lock them with two nuts on the wheel
hub stud bolt. (Fig. 118)
Note: The two bars should be fixed on their middle
so that they are perpendicular to the supporting
surface and parallel to the pinion shaft axis; align the
two bars.
Fig.118
Measure the distance in mm M between the bars
ends with a tapeline.
Note: Keep the minimum value, swinging the
measurement point.
Check that the difference of the measurements
between the wheel hubs diameters ends is within
the requested tolerance range.
The nominal toe-in value (A) is referred to the external
diameter of the wheel hubs flange, therefore the
measured value (M) at the bars ends must be related
to the ratio between length of the bar and flange
diameter (Fig. 119).
Fig.119
If toe-in is incorrect, operate with two wrenches on
the guide rods (1) screwing in and out the two joint
tie rods (3) equally till the toe-in is within the requested
tolerance. After adjusting, screw in the lock nuts (2)
of the guide rods (1) to the requested tightening

WARNING: When changing, repairing
or transferring wheels observe the
following precautions:
*Use a jack that has adequate capacity to lift your
tractor and is in good repair.
*Ensure that both the tractor and jack are on firm
level ground.
*Use axle stands or other suitable blocking to
support the tractor at all times when changing
wheels and tires.
*Never use concrete blocks, bricks or old rotted
timbers for support. They can collapse - even under
light loads.
*DO NOT put any part of your body under the
tractor or start the engine while the tractor is on
the jack.
*Tractor wheels are heavy, handle with care and
ensure, when stored, that they cannot topple and
cause injury.
*Where tires with liquid ballast are used, a crane
may be required to maneuver the wheels, due to
their considerable weight.
The different track widths are obtained by altering
the position of the rim in relation to the disc, or by
reversing the wheels and transferring them from one
side of the tractor to the other (Fig. 127).
Adjustment is as follows:
1. Select the required track settings
2. Slightly slacken either the wheel to axle, or the rim
to disc nuts, or both according to requirements.
3. Using a jack capable of lifting 1500 kg (3300 lb)
raise the rear wheels just clear of the ground.
NOTE: If the wheels are reversed, they must be
transferred to the opposite side of the tractor so as
to maintain the correct tire tread direction.

Maintenance and Adjustment
Wheel weights
Wheel weights are available for the rear wheels,
consult with your local Massey Ferguson Dealer for
the correct weights for your tractor. Only sufficient
weight should be added to provide traction and
stability. Adding more weight than necessary results
in excessive loads being imposed on the tractor and
a higher fuel consumption.
Ensure that an equal amount of weights are fitted to
each side of the tractor. When adding weight, adhere
to the maximum tire capacity loading. The tire
pressures will have to be increased to accommodate
the additional weight. Consult with your Massey
Ferguson Dealer or tire supplier to ensure that the
loadings are not exceeded.
Rear wheel weights
Rear wheel weights (Fig. 128) are bolted to the
outside of the wheel. Additional weights can be bolted
to the first adaptor weight. Each weight weighs
approximately 45 kg (100 lb). When fitting the first
adaptor weight, ensure that the cutout in the weight
aligns with the tire valve for accessibility.

Tighten the weight bolts to a torque of 80 Nm (60 lbf
ft).

Maintenance and Adjustment
Tires
Check tire pressures every 100 hours or every two
weeks whichever is the sooner.
WARNING: Tire tread and ply rating or
load index must match across the axle.
Do not fit a radial one side and a
crossply on the other. Check that the
tire pressures are correct for the
particular operation to be performed. These simple
rules, if followed carefully, will ensure maximum
tire life.
For front IMPLEMENT applications, front tire
pressures should be increased to 1,6 bar (23 psi).For
front LOADER application only, front tire pressures
should be increased to 2,0 bar (30 psi).
NOTE: Note for exact inflation pressure requirement,
axle loads need to be measured and the load/inflation
tables need to be applied.
*For hillside operation, DO NOT use inflation
pressures lower than 1 bar (15 psi).
*A correctly inflated radial tire under full load should
have a profile as shown (Fig. 116).
Check and adjust the front and rear tire pressures
and inspect the tread and side walls for damage.
Check the pressure when the tires are cold (Fig.129).
The correct pressure for any tire on the tractor is
found by weighing the loaded axle and then referring
to the load/inflation tables for that tire (see page 109).
NOTE: If the tires are ballasted with calcium chloride
and/or water solution, a special tire gauge should be
used as the solution will corrode the standard type
of gauge.
1. The tire pressures listed, can be used without
danger of sidewall rippling. In certain conditions the
pressures may be lowered, where the loads are light.
Higher tire pressures should be used for hillside
plowing or if the tractor is to be used on the road for
a length of time. DO NOT exceed the maximum
recommended pressures.
2. Keep oil, grease and strong alkaline or acid
fertilizers away from tires to prevent deterioration of
the rubber.
3. Have any small sidewall or tread splits or cuts
revulcanized as soon after they occur as possible.
This extends the life of the tire.
4. If bolt-on weights are fitted, raise the pressures to
suit the weight fitted, consult your Massey Ferguson
Dealer.
5. Water ballasting details are quoted (see page 90)
for a few of the many tire options available for these
tractors. These figures are given as a guide only. For
specific details for your tractor if not shown, or if you
wish to change the tire sizes, see your Massey
Ferguson Dealer who will have full tire range
specifications and recommended pressures supplied
by the tire manufacturers.

Cross-ply tires
Load index and speed symbols
The term 'cross-ply tires' applies to tires with bias or
diagonal ply fitted to the front two-wheel drive axle
or rear driven wheels. If you are unable to weigh the
tractor axles to determine the correct tire inflation
pressures, the following method can be adopted on
firm surface conditions with correctly ballasted tractors.
In the case of cross-ply tires the procedure is to check
the size and ply rating and refer to load/inflation
charts. For the relevant size read across the chart to
the figure in brackets for the relevant ply rating - the
inflation pressure indicated in the column heading is
the maximum permissible and should be applied in
cases where it is not possible to weigh the axle.
In the past the 'tire load capacity category' was
indicated by a PR (Ply Rating) number. This is an
indicator of the tire's carcass strength. Now a code
number is used giving the exact designation of the
load capacity; this is referred to as the Load Index
or LI for short.
In addition to the load index, Speed Index (SI) is
used to designate the 'Speed Category' of the tire.
These two figures will indicate the maximum load
that can be carried by the tire at a prescribed speed.
Understanding the information on the tire side wall
is important. The illustration (Fig. 131) shows a radial
tire.
For LOADER application only, front tire pressures
should be increased by 25%. A correctly inflated
cross-ply tire under full load should have the profile
shown in Fig. 130.

Service tires safely
DANGER: Failure to follow the correct
procedure when fitting a tire on a wheel
or rim can produce an explosion which
may result in serious injury or death.
DO NOT attempt to fit a tire unless you have the
proper equipment and experience to perform the job.
Have the work carried out by your Massey Ferguson
Dealer or a qualified repair service.
When sealing tire beads onto rims, never exceed 2,4
bar (35 psi) or the maximum inflation pressure
specified by the tire manufacture for fitting tires.
Inflation beyond this maximum pressure may break
the bead, or even the rim, with a dangerous explosive
force. If both beads are not seated when the maximum
pressure is reached, deflate, reposition the tire, relubricate the bead, and re-inflate.
Observe the following safety points:
* Always use a safety cage if available (Fig. 132).
* DO NOT re-inflate a tire that has been run flat or
badly under-inflated without first removing it
from the wheel and checking for damage. Any
damage should be professionally repaired.
* DO NOT stand over or in front of the tire.
* Use a clip-on chuck and extension hose when
inflating a tire and stand to one side.
* DO NOT hit a rim or tire with a hammer when the
assembly is inflated.
* NEVER use a tube in a tire larger - or smaller than the one for which it was designed.
* NEVER install tubes that have buckled or
creased.
* NEVER rework, weld, heat or braze damaged
rims.

Water ballasting
WARNING: When mixing the ballast
solution it is imperative the calcium
chloride flakes are added to the water
and the solution stirred until the
calcium chloride is dissolved. Never
add water to calcium chloride. If the flakes should
contact the eyes, wash the eyes immediately with
clean, COLD water for at least five minutes. See
a doctor as soon as possible.
Filling the front and rear tires with liquid ballast (Fig.
133) is a convenient method of adding weight to
secure more traction and reduce slippage and tread
wear. Either cast wheel weights can be added or the
tires can be filled with a water/antifreeze solution of
50% to 75% of the tire volume, this will ensure similar
flexibility to air inflated tires. Where freezing
temperatures never occur, plain water can be used,
but the weight added will be less. Where antifreeze
protection is needed and in view of the trend towards
greater environmental awareness, the use of calcium
chloride is being phased out and alternative antifreeze
additives used. Charts (see Specification section)
are provided in the specification section giving the
weights and capacity for water and calcium chloride.
All recommendations for tube tires are directly
applicable to tubeless. In the case of tubeless tires
it is recommended that an antifreeze solution is used
in place of calcium chloride to prevent corrosion of
the rim. The antifreeze solution should be a mono
ethylene glycol based fluid (radiator antifreeze). Frost
protection (Table 10) using Massey Ferguson
antifreeze as follows:

1. Jack up the tractor.
2. Turn the wheel to bring the valve to the bottom
position.
3. Remove the valve core housing and make the
connection with the pump using a special filling

4. Completely evacuate the tire.
5. Re-inflate the tire to the recommended pressure.
6. The valve should be at the lowest point when
checking or adjusting air pressure if the tire is liquid
ballasted.
Mixing the solution of calcium chloride
Prepare the calcium chloride mixture in a suitable
container by pouring the calcium chloride into the
water (never the water into the calcium chloride, as
considerable heat is generated in this mixing process).
The mixture should be allowed to cool to atmospheric
temperature before pumping into the tire. The pump
can also be used to mix and cool this solution by
circulating it through the pump and back into the
barrel.

Maintenance and Adjustment
Solution disposal
Antifreeze solution once drained from the tires should
be disposed of in a manner fitting to that of a
hazardous waste.
Tire pressures
Because of the smaller air volume in ballasted tires,
the pressures must be checked and adjusted much
more frequently than when water is not present. It is
recommended that checking the pressures is carried
out every six weeks when the tractor is used in the
field, and every three weeks for use on the roads
(liquid ballasting is not recommended in the latter
case).
Wheel nut tightness
Check the wheel nut tightness every 250 hours.
If any of the wheels have been removed, or you are
checking the tightness, the wheel nut tightening
torques are as follows:
Front - two-wheel drive:
Wheel screws ..........108 Nm (80 lbf ft)
Wheel nuts................. 95 Nm (70 lbf ft)
Rear - pressed wheel:
Disc to Axle Hub ...... 325 Nm (240 lbf ft)
Rim to Disc .............. 240 Nm (177 lbf ft)
CAUTION: Recheck the torques after
10 hours (or 2 hours if on loader work)
and then recheck and if necessary, retighten twice more at ten-hourly intervals. This
protects against the loosening that occurs from
the wheel settling down.

Electrical equipment
To avoid damage to the components of the alternator
charging system, the following service precautions
must be observed:
*NEVER make or break any of the charging circuit
connections, including the battery when the engine
is running.
*NEVER short any of the charging components
ground.
*ALWAYS disconnect the battery ground cable
before carrying out arc welding on the tractor.
*ALWAYS disconnect the battery ground cable
when charging the battery in the tractor.
*DO NOT use a slave battery of higher than 12
volt nominal voltage.
*ALWAYS observe correct polarity when installing
the battery or using a slave battery to start the
engine.
*ALWAYS connect the ground cable first.
Positive terminal and cable marked + (red).
Ground terminal and cable marked - (black).
The electrical circuit is a 12 volt NEGATIVE GROUND
system and requires little attention. Check and ensure
that all cables are secured in place and that terminals
are tight.
Battery
Check the battery every 250 hours.
WARNING: The battery contains a
sulfuric acid electrolyte which is a
corrosive substance and must be treated with
great care:
*Corrosive substance.
*Keep out of the reach of children.
*Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Battery acid
can cause intense irritation.
*Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye
protection.
*In case of contact with eyes rinse immediately
with plenty of water and seek medical attention.
*When charging the battery, charge in a well
ventilated place and ALWAYS switch off at the
mains before disconnecting the terminals.
*If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately
and show the label.
*DO NOT use a naked flame to check the electrolyte
level, always use a voltmeter or hydrometer to
check the state of charge and a flashlight to check
the battery electrolyte level if necessary.
*Ensure vent plugs are correctly and tightly installed.
*Always remove the ground (-) black, cable first.
92
Fig.134
To gain access to the battery in front of the
radiator, just remove the grille (Fig. 134). Check the
condition of the battery ensuring that the electrolyte
is up to level. Clean the top of the battery, check that
the terminals are tight and smear them with petroleum
jelly.
Under normal use, maintenance-free batteries will
not require topping up. In the event of an alternator
failure always check the electrolyte levels. The height
above the plates should be 15 mm (0.625 in). If low,
adjust to the correct level by the addition of distilled
or deionized water.
In the event of an accidental discharge it is strongly
recommended that the battery is fully recharged in
the workshop. The recharge should be carried out
by a charger at 7 amps.

Alternator and fan belt
Check the fan and alternator belt tension every 250
hours.
WARNING: If the lower side panel
(safety guard) is removed or loosened
while checking the belt tension, it must
be refitted and secured before
restarting the tractor.
Fig. 135 gives a typical illustration of the alternator/fan
belt arrangement; your tractor may differ slightly in
the positioning of the adjustment link. Renew the belt
if it is worn or damaged. To check the deflection,
press down the belt with the thumb at the center of
the longest free length. With moderate thumb pressure
the correct deflection of the belt is 10 mm (0.375 in).
If a belt tension gauge is available, the correct tension
is 355 N (80 lbf), DO NOT allow the tension to fall
below 220 N (50 lbf).
To adjust the belt tension:
1. Loosen the alternator pivot bolts (1) and the
adjustment link bolt (2).
2. Change the position of the alternator to give the
correct tension. Tighten the two bolts.
3. Recheck the belt tension to ensure that it is still
correct.
Fig.135
NOTE: If a new belt is fitted, check/adjust the tension
again after 25 hours of operation.
Headlights
Headlight adjustment
To adjust the headlights, screw the four screws
(Fig. 136) in or out as required, this will deflect the
beam up, down or sideways. On some models it is
possible to adjust the headlights using a short
screwdriver without opening the front grille.
To adjust the beam:
1. Position the tractor facing a wall or screen 7,5 m
(25 ft) away, distance (A) (Fig. 137).
2. Draw a horizontal line on the wall or screen (1)
the same as the center height of the headlights from
the ground (B).
3. Draw two vertical lines (2), the same as the
horizontal center to center distance between the
headlights (C), (315 mm).
4. Draw a second horizontal line (3) at a distance (D)
below and parallel to line (1). Distance (D) is calculated
by multiplying distance (B) by 0.1; for example,
headlight height 985 mm x 0.1 = 98,5 mm.
5. Adjust each headlight, on main beam, individually
by covering the opposite one and aligning the upper
edge of the illuminated zone to line (3).

Cleaning the tractor
Careful attention to the following will help to retain
the value of your tractor and make the task of
maintenance and adjustment quick and simple.
*Use plenty of water to soften dirt adhering to the
surface. If you use a jet of water, try and keep it
away from electrical components such as the
alternator and starter motor.
*If it is found necessary to use detergents or high
pressure hot water or steam cleaners, use care
not to damage the paint work. Set the machine to
the lower pressures and lower rates of detergent
application.
*Car polishes can be used on the metal work to
improve the appearance of the tractor.
*Aerosol cans of touch-up paint are available from
your Massey Ferguson Dealer to repair chipped
or damaged paint.
*Check that all the safety signs are in place. The
actual location and part numbers of these safety
signs are illustrated in the safety section of this
Operator Instruction Book, (see page 20 & 21).
Replace any that have been lost or removed during
cleaning.

Maintenance and Adjustment
Fuel handling and storage
Diesel fuel
Before handling fuel, filling tanks etc., observe the
following:
Under no circumstance should gasoline, alcohol,
gasohol or dieselhol (a mixture of diesel fuel and
alcohol) be added to diesel fuel because of increased
fire or explosion risks. In a closed container such as
a fuel tank they are more explosive than pure gasoline.
DO NOT use these blends. Additionally, dieselhol is
not approved due to possible inadequate lubrication
of the fuel injection system.
*Clean the filler cap area. Fill the tank at the end
of each day to reduce overnight condensation.
*Never take the cap off or refuel with the engine
running or hot.
*When filling the tank, keep control of the nozzle.
*DO NOT smoke.
*Don't fill the tank to capacity. Allow room for
expansion and wipe up spilled fuel immediately.
*If the original cap is lost, replace it with a Massey
Ferguson cap and tighten securely. A non Massey
Ferguson cap may not be suitable.
*Keep equipment properly maintained.
Cleanliness and storage
The utmost care must be taken to keep fuel clean.
The following advice is offered to promote satisfactory
fuel handling and storage.
1. Never use galvanized containers.
2. Never clean the inside of containers, or components
of the fuel system with a fluffy cloth.
3. The size of the bulk storage tank should be such
that intervals between refilling and drainage are not
too long. 3000 liter (700 US gal) capacity is sufficient
for the average size farm.
4. The storage tank (Fig. 147) should be under cover
and supported on cradles of sufficient height to enable
the tractor fuel tank to be filled by gravity, and should
have a suitable manhole cover to provide access for
cleaning. The final outlet cock should be located to
allow 76 mm (3 in) settling depth for water sludge;it
should feed through a detachable filter with 120 mesh
screen. There should be a fall of about 40 mm per
meter (¼ in per ft) towards the sludge drain plug.
5. Drums (Fig. 148) should be stored under a
protective cover to prevent the entry of water. Drums
should be stored at a slight angle, thus allowing any
water to run off the top lip. Drums of fuel should not
be stacked for a long period before use.
6. Drums in use outside must have the bung securely
screwed down to prevent entry of water.
7. Bulk or drum storage tanks should be allowed 24
hours to settle before use, after delivery or servicing.

should be directed to your fuel supply source for
assurance that adequate lubricity amounts are
contained in the fuel purchased.
NOTE: Diesel fuels are classified as either No 1 (No
1-D) or No 2 (No 2-D) fuel. The grade No 1 fuel is
recommended for service when the air temperature
is below 32ºF. The grade No 2 fuel, which will produce
more work per gallon, is recommended for service
when the air temperature is 32ºF, or above.

Road speed chart
The following two charts show the road speeds for tractors, in km/hr (mph) with various types of transmission
or rear axle. All the speed charts are based on the engine running at rated speed. These charts are a guide
only. Refer to the speed chart on your tractor which has been prepared for the tires and overall transmission
ratio. If you require more precise speeds contact your Massey Ferguson Dealer.

Water ballasting
Water/calcium chloride solution - capacity and weight
*Table 12 below is provided for convenience in
estimating the additional weight gained (per tire) by
the use of liquid weighting; liters (US gal), kg (lb).
*All mixtures are based on a 75% fill in order to retain
25% air volume for cushioning purposes.
*Water/calcium chloride solutions are indicated from
no protection against freezing at all, down to a
temperature of minus 35º C (minus 31º F).
CAUTION: Water/Calcium chloride
solution as used in tractor tires is not
dangerous, but because it may attack
clothing or cause skin irritations on
some persons, especially if it comes
in contact with open cuts or sores, we urge all
personnel to avoid coming in direct contact with
it. A remedy after having contacted this solution,
is to simply wash the skin with plenty of clean
water.

Tire load and inflation tables
Determining the weight
The correct inflation pressure (Table 18) is the most
important factor contributing to satisfactory
performance of agricultural tires. Correct inflation
pressure can be determined by weighing the loaded
axle (for example, the rear axle with the implement
in the raised position) and then referring to the load
and inflation tables for the relevant tires. Tire loads
should be calculated to include full bins and tanks
as well as weights and ballast. One should only
increase recommended inflation pressures of
agricultural tires for reduced speed/higher load
applications, hillside plowing and operation on hard
surfaces for any length of time - such as road
transport. Tire load carrying capacities vary with
speed - increased loads often apply at lower speeds,
and reduced loads at higher speeds than those
indicated in the following tables. The load capacity
in the tables is given in kilograms (lb) at a speed not
exceeding 30 km/hr (20 mph).
With the implement mounted on the 3-point hitch
drive the tractor onto a weighbridge so that the rear
wheels only are on the platform. Take the weight
reading and divide by two, compare the weight and
tire size with the table below to determine the tire
pressure. For example:
Tractor on 13.6R28 tires weighing 2160 kg (4762 lb)
divided by 2 = 1080 kg (2381 lb) per wheel. 1070 kg
(2359 lb) is the nearest reading, tire pressure is 0,6
bar (9 psi).
Rear radial drive tires.
Load capacity kg (lb) - inflation bar (psi) at 30km/hr (20 mph).
