I was wondering if you ever managed to find the shaft. Where did you end up getting one? And glad to hear it's all together again for you!

Very good point! I was more thinking if he was just using the screwdriver to watch the motion of the piston, it would be possible to get out of phase.

If you look at your video on page 6 where you finally got the shaft out, it looks like the key is still in the shaft. It should fit into a slot in the timing gear. Take another look at your old shaft and see if it's in there still. If the new shaft doesn't have a key when you get it, you...

Any luck finding the part? I usually try Wengers out of Meyerstown, PA, or MacFaddens in NY. You can also give Cook Tractor in IL a shot, they have a lot of used parts and might be able to help you find one.

Yep, its the MF32 loader. Has worked pretty well, but had some pump whine earlier this year. Decided to change the filter and either someone sucked up a rag, or there was something growing in the oil. Since the new filter, seems to be much happier. Probably need to drain and fill the whole...

I tried to scan the relevant pages from my manual, but had to use my chromebook camera. Sorry the quality isnt great, but working on getting out the door for the holiday so had to do it on the quick without getting good lighting setup or anything. Take a look, and if you need any better...

So you do have to remove that pulley to get the timing cover off. There should be a big honkin' nut in the middle of it, and having an impact to bump it off is pretty helpful. Once the nut is out, you should be able to persuade that pulley to come off. The cover is alloy I believe, so you...

Thanks very much for the reply. Ill pull the plug and will see what I can do. There is a hydraulic shop that I can get to, but its a bit of a ride for me. I wanted to check out my loader also, so will try to get a gauge and some fittings that would work to test that out. I checked my shop...

Any tips on a good spot to find a hydraulic pressure gauge? I don't have one and just want to start looking in the right spot. My garage doesn't have the head height for me to prop the loader, and my barn doesn't have a concrete floor. Looking to maybe score a floor jack and a cherry picker...

Nice Haul! Obvious things are to check for oil in the engines and transmission, see if there are any animal nests in the engine or air cleaner, and then check for fuel flow. Are they gas or diesel? If gas, maybe remove the plugs and put a little oil in the cylinders before you crank for the...

Thanks for the input! I just cannot find anything written up anywhere about the shuttle transmission, so not sure how different it is from the normal six speed. I need to try and pull the side covers on the rear end anyway to see what filter I have on the pump, and was thinking I would try to...

Ill try to find time to get a scan of my MF manual. In the meantime, here is a link to the IT manual. https://archive.org/details/tractors-mf135_mf150_mf165_shop_service Page 27 starts with the timing cover and there is info on the governor and distributor drive on the following pages.

To pull that timing cover, you will need to pull the fan, water pump and crank pulley off, as well as disconnect the throttle linkage from the governor arm. You will probably want to pick up a front crank seal for when you reinstall the timing cover in the future. The book for my MF20 has a...

I dont know if its a huge problem, but from my digging around due to my own machine, the Perkins Gas wasnt super common. The Diesel is known pretty well, but seems like a lot more of the gassers had the Continental 4 cylinder. So maybe its just a smaller sample of them out there? Might be...

I think this is the one you need. https://www.agcopubs.com/default.aspx?partNumber=1448813M1&searchForm=2 I suggest the "standard" one, it will come as a bunch of loose pages you can put in your own binder. Or you can look at this listing on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/392001400487...
