Follow up: the JD 25A is together and back in operation. Pretty basic job once I got into it. My wife made a quick video of the overall process. Here's a link for anyone interested: As a general note, this video isn't meant to be a detailed how to, just an overview. For example, pictures...

Thanks leonz for your reply. I've checked with Cazenovia Equipment and Landpro Equipment, but not O'Hara.

Thank you to leonz and Tractor Tech for the help. Here are a couple of pics of the flail when I brought it home a couple of years. Actually, better shape as I cleaned it up quite a bit. leonz - as I've said that I have limited space and animals. As you can see, the unit is really clean and...

TractorTech, I do really appreciate your effort to help me! Yes, I have seen both those posts. The last link is the situation that I have on my flail. I saw leonz's post and then frankydp's post but frankydp never came back with what happened when he removed the bearing support and plate. No...

Thanks again for the reply. I've searched on this forum and others on the JD 25A drum/rotor bearing removal and it appears from the pictures that individuals are doing just one side at a time. That's why I'm looking for feedback from someone that has actually done it. Maybe I'm wrong? The...

Thanks for your reply. The bearing and support are in the inside of the frame. It looks to me that I have to loosen the bolts holding the bearing support bolts surrounding the bearing #20 in the attached diagram, then remove the bolts holding the large frame plate #8 and hopefully pull enough...

Looking for some advice and tips from individuals that have replaced the rotor/drum bearings. I read thru several threads and posts on the subject. Looking for a little more detail. I bought a really nice used JD 25A (2013 model year) several years ago and have only used it a couple of time...

Need to change the fuel filters on my 1754. Apparently, according to the dealer, there are two filters. Same filters fit a 1736 to 1759? Anybody changed their filters? Comments or advice? Thanks.

Looking for someone that has actually done their own hydraulic fluid service. Trying to remove suction filter #52 in the attached picture. Can't get it to clear the lower brace. Looks like the flange #50 has to be removed to get the suction filter to clear? Selling dealer doesn't know, never...

This is my first hydro tractor as I've always owned geared tractors. I've had some issues with the tractor's hydro operation. First, the tractor was overfilled when it arrived to my property by 1 1/2 gallons of hydro fluid. After a couple of hours of operation the tractor would buck in...

Going thru the manual it states to run the engine at full throttle for the first 50 hours? Obviously, you don't want to lug the engine but, running at full throttle seems both a waste of fuel and not necessary. I've always varied RPMs when breaking in a new engine. Thoughts please. Thanks.

Looking for the Massey part# for the subject rim paint. Thanks.

Took delivery of my new 1754 Hydro early yesterday afternoon. Did some loader work, so far, this thing is awesome! We run turf tires and dealer installed rims with valve stems on the inside. Inside valve stems not a problem but, the end of valve stems only clear the top of front axle housing...

Waiting for the delivery of my 1754 tractor. Dealer waiting on different tires and rims from Massey for the tractor. Apparently, Massey is really slow in shipping tire and rim packages!!! Brush guards on new 1700 series tractors seem pretty wimpy compared to my 1643. Dealer has been pretty...

Currently have a MF 1643 cab with powershuttle. The MF 1643 is a decent tractor but, I like some of the features (cab layout & seating position, fuel fill location, etc..) on the 1700 series tractors. Has anybody actually made this swap? Looking for feedback. Was it worth it? Thanks is...

Always have run Massey tractors, thinking about making a change to orange. Looking at getting some information. 1 What's Kubota's cab offering comparable to a MF1754? 2 Does Kubota price gouge on filters and parts? 3 Does Kubota have any issues with Tier IV? 4 General comments on the Kubota...

Thinking about upgrading from a MF 1643 cab to a MF 1754 cab. Looking for MF 1754 owners' actual experience and comments. The good, the bad, the ugly. Appreciate comments and information. Thanks Ted.

I've searched the archives and haven't really found the information that I'm looking for. I have a MF 1643 cab tractor with turf tires. I recently bought the subject snow blower and am getting ready to cut the PTO shaft. Anybody have one of these snow blowers or have experience with one...

Intermittent stalling/loss of power problem has been happening more frequently lately. This is the same problem that I had last fall while mowing where the tractor just lost power and wouldn't run over 1250 RPMs. Shut it down and everything was fine. The other day, while plowing, the engine...

I'm doing some touch up paint work. I picked up a can of Massey Red 1906406M2from the dealer. This paint is too orange and not a dark enough red. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks - Ted.

Recently picked up a 3 point ballast box. Dealer told me to fill it with sand. It has drain holes in the bottom. I have lots of #2 crushed stone. Looking for opinions, why couldn't I just fill it with the stone? Looks to me like sand would seep thru the drain holes in the bottom of the box...

Have had a MF 1240 for the last ten years (832 hours). Been used mostly for a combination of loader work, snow plowing, brush cutting, chipping and leveling & cleaning up neglected fields. Recently purchased a MF 1643 w/cab. Now, getting used to it and getting it setup for snow plowing and...
