Good evening. Was out looking my square baler today and noticed the sprocket that drives the pickup is cracked on 3 of the for spokes. Will probably be looking to braze/weld it in the morning. However, if that doesn't work would replacing that sprocket (a 2040 pitch 23 tooth sprocket) with a...

New to the site, i am in search for a wealth of MF information. Granddad gave me his MF12 about 5 months ago, it has a Tecumseh HH120 engine he says was rebuilt about 5 years ago and has not been started in the last 3 years. He says battery is shot and rats ate some wiring. i got it home and...

Recently purchased the machine and am awaiting the arrival of some parts and the service manual. When I purchased the machine I noticed the steering wheel had a lot of play in it. The original owner said it was like that for years and didn't affect the steering, but there is definitely too much...

I have an old MF 12 square baler and it keeps eating through grade 5 bolts even when there is almost no load on it they will shear. Is something out of adjustment or do I need a higher grade bolt? I can spin everything by hand when empty so I dont think anything is binding. Maybe dull knife?

I went to move my MF 12hp tractor but it won't go forward or reverse. Starts up fine, but when the hydrostatic gear lever is moved, nothing happens. It was working fine when I parked it. Took mostly everything apart, but can't find anything that is obviously broken or sticking. It seems like...

I have a 12 baler and went to bale hay and when it ties the bale as soon as it ties it breaks the shear pin everytime any ideas ?

Hello, I have a a MF 12 bailer which we ran about 400 bales through over the last 2 days. The longer we baled the more it began to have bales stuck together. Its always on the in board side and it would be about a 3" diameter tuft of hay still connected to the previous bale. It really...

I just bought an old MF 12 garden tractor and I need help with everything! First thing, am I in the right place?? Next thing, is this unit a 6 volt or 12? if 6 how expensive, hard is it to convert to 12volt? Belt routing and sizes. The drive belt that is on it is way too tight I think???? starts...

I know this will sound crazy but while baling today the shear bolt sheared, no big deal as it happens once in awhile, the problem is 1/2 of the sheared bolt (no threads just bolt head and shaft) is stuck inside the bushing that holds the shear pin in the flywheel. Tried punching it out with...

My #12 baler will not tie when I get the bale tight enought to handle. If I leave it loose it ties fine but you can not stack loose Hay. Is there any thing that I can do to make it tie the tight bale.

I bought an old Massey Ferguson 12 Wire Hay Baler off eBay. The guy gave me a manual for it but it's for a twine baler. Can anyone help with the "threading" for a wire baler? Any advice would be appreciated (and yes, I already thought about giving it a paint job and using it as yard art)! :D

Posted this in the Massey forum as well but maybe this is the place. Well I inherited an old early 70's MF12 lawn and garden tractor. I was given the tractor for free. I really wanted this tractor for doing some serious food plotting for deer as it has the 38" 650 rear tiller. This thing...

Well I inherited an old early 70's MF12 lawn and garden tractor. I was given the tractor for free. I really wanted this tractor for doing some serious food plotting for deer as it has the 38" 650 rear tiller. This thing could do some serious damage to the ground. Anyway the state of the...

I just got an old Massey MF12 garden tractor. It starts up everytime, but after a few minutes dies. After it dies I can start it right back up again with no problem. Any Ideas as to what's going on or how to fix it?

I have the chance to get an old MF12 tractor for free. It is in pretty good shape but hasn't been run for years. The fuel tank and carb are probably all gummed up and it needs a new hydrostatic pump I think. Does anyone know where I can buy parts for this? How much will a hydro pump...

I have an old MF12 garden tractor from the 1970's, and the gear shift lever broke. Any ideas on where I can get a new or used one ? Thanks
