massey ferguson 1533

Anyone have experience to share (good) and/or pictures (better) on where this is located? For SyncroShuttle it's not the same place as the PowerShuttle. I found no reference of it (for SyncroShuttle) in the AGCO online parts guide. That guide does show the PowerShuttle solenoid but, again, it's...

Hi, does anyone have advice on where to get a front windshield for a 04 Massey Ferguson 1533 with the deluxe cab. Dealer wants $900 + 300 delivery + 400 installation.

Good day , looking for the psi setting for my pressure relief valve for my 2008 massey ferguson 1533 hydrostatic. Thanks

I've owned it since new and it just started overheating now that winter is over and I'm starting to use it. I did a radiator flush and added new coolant (mixed it 50/50), installed a new thermostat (was stuck open), installed both new air filters, changed oil and filter, cleaned the radiator...

Hi. I’m looking for some help, I have an 05 MF 1533 Power Shuttle. I experiencing a lack of power with the hydraulics. Getting up to speed takes awhile. If I drop my Gannon down, it just about stops the tractor. And trying to dig or lift anything it struggles. Engine runs strong. New hydraulic...

I don't like double posting but no one is responding in the repair thread sub-forum so.... One of the hydraulic lift lines to the loader caught a branch and ripped the hose out of the mating coupler. No damage was done to the hose. We are unable to get the coupler to lock in and mate...

One of the hydraulic lift lines to the loader caught a branch and ripped the hose out of the mating coupler. No damage was done to the hose. We are unable to get the coupler to lock in and mate despite breaking and bleeding all pressure in the lift loop. I suspect something in the coupler...

I need to know what all has gone taken off the tractor to break it in half. It is a MF1533 Synchro shuttle. Do I need to remove the fuel tank and floorboard and dash? What is the easiest way to go about this? I don't mind a little extra work if it will make it easier.

Anyone have a video on replacing. Looks pretty straight forward but thought there might be some tips that are not apparent. Thanks!

Tractor won't start. It's Challenger MT265 which is a twin of the MF 1533. Tractor has just under 400 hours. I have eliminated the battery and neutral switch. There must be some wiring issue or my wiring harness is bad. I was able to crank and start the tractor by jumping the starter by apply...

Hi, I have an Agco challenger MT265B aka MF 1533. I haven't use the tractor for a while. Just notice that the HST petal won't return to neutral position. I can't shift into gear unless I try to find just the right spot on the petal. Looked under the tractor but can't really tell if I lost a...

The lower fork (6241734M91) on my assembly is bent and I wanted to just cut off that M20x2.5 left hand threaded bolt and weld another bolt on it, but it can't be found locally, so my options are : 1- keep searching and see if I can buy another old style lower fork OR 2- replacing the entire...

I have a neighbor that has a Massey 1533 and our of curiosity I looked up the specs on the tractor (as I have on many other tractors). Tractordata has the Breakout force listed as 1841 lbs and the Lift to Full Height at pin as 1900 lbs. The specs for every other tractor I have looked at are...

My 1533 SyncroShuttle will not crank. I took the risk and purchased a download manual ($25 for 711 pages, so far seems worth it and includes electrical schematics) I have tested multiple things: 1. Jumping 12v to starter solenoid input fires the starter. This tells me that the battery and...

Hello, has anyone had this issue before, control valve on my 1533 leaking from what looks like a small plug or rivet next to Allen screw

My luck, bought a cab tractor last week and was checking it all out the second day I had it. When I started to raise the hood which i had raised a couple of time already the windshield exploded. I dont see anything that caused it unless it is the gap adjustment (pinching) between the hood and...

I am looking at a 2005 Massey Ferguson 1533. It does not have a front loader, or the joystick/hydraulic ports for one. I am looking for a fair price to offer, keeping in mind that I intend to buy and install a front loader. It has 1103 hours and normal wear. Tires are good. Paint is faded a bit...

Bought new 2005 in April '06. Been perfect since w/850 hours until yesterday. Hauling mulch and on 3rd load the engine started to die. Kicked in clutch and rpms surged and then died. I've checked the fuel filter, removed, cleaned canister and replaced. I'm a fairly good gas mechanic but no...

Hi, I am looking to purchase my first tractor. I have a small piece of land (10 acres) and want a compact tractor to mow the field, but also want a front loader. I stumbled on a 2005 Massey-Ferguson 1533 with 1103 hours. The issue is that it does not have a front loader. It does not...

As most know I was in the market for a 40-50HP tractor, and finally settled on a deal with a dealership on a new Kubota MX5200. Well as most know things change in life and my wife and I will be expecting our first child in April. So of course here comes the budget cuts, and one of them is the...

Hello, I have a 2005 MT265B with ML30 loader. I recently replaced a leaky hose on the loader cost about $100 from the dealer. Now, 4 other hoses starts to leak and the rest have cracks and looks like they will develop a leak pretty soon. So, I need to replace a dozen or so hoses. Looking...

Any idea on what someone should pay for a 2011 Massey Furgeson 1533 in very good shape with 250 hours, a loader, and hydrostatic?

Happy New Year, folks. I need to remove the gas tank and heat shield on my MF1533 with cab and A/C - Heat. I've got the tank drained, fuel/return lines disconnected, muffler removed and tank/heat shield are loose and ready to come out. It looks like the A/C compressor is interfering with the...

I've got a 2006 MF-1533 with FEL that I bought new. It only has 358 hours on it. Shed kept. I use it for variety of utility and gardening needs. Started it up the other day and drove it up to the house. Turned it off to run inside and get some water and pay some old water back (:)). Came...

I have been looking on and off for a little larger compact tractor with around 28hp pto. The following is first reasonable priced sale I've come across. It's a local private sale for a 1540 with 1525 loader and Woods BB72 cutter at under $15k. I went and looked at it a couple weeks ago and...

I have a massey ferguson model 1533, it will turn over but not start, replaced fuel filter,checked fueses, still does not start? Anyone know what it could be?

I am adding a third function to operate the jaws of a new grapple. I believe the steel line in the attached pic is the power beyond line. Could one of you knowledgeable of the MF 1533 HST verify this. I believe the tractor is a 2008 model year. Thanks.

I have a MF 1533 shuttle shift tractor with FEL. My problem is the engine will not turn over with the key. I turn the key on and the fuel pump runs, and the fuel shutoff solenoid opens. When I turn the key to start I hear a solenoid click but the engine does not turn. With the key on I can...

Hello all, Question: anyone out there know how to remove/replace front axle bushings on the 1533 tie rod ends? I have the bolts off, but can't tell if the nut is threaded all the way to the joint or whether you're supposed to (gently) tap the bolt through. Tried gently, not working. Thanks in...

A club I belong to owns an MF 1533 with I believe a DL120 loader. The bucket curl and dump work fine. The loader up works fine. The loader down is a problem. To lower the loader, I have to push the loader stick forward a small amount, like an 1/8 of an inch. If I move it too much it...

Maybe someone can help me. I have a MF 1533 diesel tractor. Today I did my walkaround checked the oil and cranked it up. Drove over to the rock pile and scooped a bucket full and headed up the drive to spread it. About one hundred feet from where I started the rpm started to die off with the...

I have a MF 1533 shuttle shift. A couple of days ago I was bush hogging and stopped to talk to my wife. I shut the tractor off and lowered the bush hog and then the FEL but the FEL did not move. I cranked the tractor back up and tried to lower the FEL to no avail. You can see the hoses flex...

Where is the hydraulic bleed nut on the 1533? The owner's manual picture is not useful in locating the right place to bleed the hydraulics after changing the filter and oil. Thanks, Bruce

Can any one tell me the oil capacity on a M.F. 1533?:confused2:

Just picked up a "new to me" MF1533 (350hrs) with 1525 loader, 5 ft rotary cutter, and 7 ft blade. I have learned a lot already from the website but am doing all the filters and fluids and had a question on the hydraulic filter. Before i bought it the previous owner had the loader cylinders...

I hit stump with my2005 Massey 1533 last night and the lower spline end of the steering shaft came out the knuckle that runs up under the front and now it seems to be about an inch short and not enough there to go back in the female spline. Any ideas.

I bought a MF 1533 cab tractor off Craig"s list. It had 360 hours and I sure none of the oils and filters had been change except maybe engine. Since I did not have a manual I took it to a dealer for full service. All oils and all filters. Cost: around $1000.00. Anyone know if I got ripped...

Has anyone purchased an aftermarket seat for a 1533? its a 2007 model I just bought one and the seat is toast from sitting outside all the springs are broken and the foam is disintegrating. I talked to a dealer and they are $360 for a new one but I see lots of seats on eBay etc and thought I...

I have checked the gear lever and in neutral the shaft turns free, in forward position pto will not turn. When I turn the yellow knob, the indicator light on the instrument cluster comes on and yellow button lights up. Whether I push the yellow button or not the pto shaft will not turn under...

Lifts okay ,but when I put on bucket or forks to push down the bucket or forks just come up . Another words it ain't stiff anymore. If you tilt bucket all the way down and try to go backwards to pull some dirt back when grading with the tractor it just folds flat. I think the control valve...

Posted this in another thread, but hasn't had any hits yet. Had an issue last weekend with this tractor. Everything was find for a while and then when put into reverse, it is like the gears in trans or differential or whatever weren't meshing correctly and it would make a loud grinding noise...

My diesel MF will run for a few hours then lose power and barely run, engine will surge for a few seconds and back to barely an idle or stop. If I let it sit for a few hours it will run fine for a few minutes or a few hours and then the problem starts over. I changed the fuel filter and added a...

My 1533 has begun to act like it is starving for fuel when under load. I checked the fuel filter but there was very little trash there...changed it anyway. The problem hasn't changed after replacing filter. The diesel fuel is less than a month old. Any ideas on what the problem might be and...

Hello, I have a 2009 MF 1533 with a DL120 loader. I have lost lifting on the loader for some unknown reason. The bucket tilts just find but the loader will not raise. I have checked the fluid levels and all are fine. When I apply pressure via the controler the loader acts like it wants to lift...

I am going to try to explain the problem without having seen it. My brother was doing some work and after a couple hours noticed a leak. It is coming from the pump near the hydraulic hose connections. He said it looks like a bolt that the head has been sheared off (maybe a 3/16 size?) but it may...

Anybody know of a used/goood condition head for my MF1533? It's a 3cyl Iseki E3CD diesel. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Good Morning all. Started it up this am to grade the road and it is making what sounds like a hollow popping noise from the air filter canister. It gets loud if I remove the filters. It's drawing air and running but there's something not right? Checked fluids and obvious stuff but nothing...

Does anyone have a schematic for the hydraulic circuits on a Massey Ferguson 1533 tractor?

Looks like there is a leak on the front axle on left wheel. As far as I can tell, It looks like it is leaking where the wheel turns (left or right). I'm not sure what you'd call that joint or whatnot, but it looks like it would be a pain to replace as there must be some gearing in there to...

I am not a mechanic, so I don't want to get in over my head, but my FEL does not pick up like it used to. It barely picks up a even full bucket of dry sand when I use the stock bucket. I think it is supposed to pick up 1200 lbs. Is there a way to increase the hydraulics pressure or at least...

Hi, Just got a MF1533 (2007) with about 350 hours on it. Got a good deal for around 10,500. Tractor is in great shape. I was working hard with the tractor and think I overdid it working on a root with the front end loader, and I have a fluid break and leak under the middle bottom of the...

I changed the fluid in my tractor today but after putting fluid in I'm guessing I have air in the system because I have no power-steering and the bucket and rear won't lift up. Do these have a bleeder somewhere on them or should I keep working the bucket?

Hi all! I am new to the forum. Been farming since 1976, but now retired from active farm work. I bought this little 1533 to help with general chores and cleanup. I looked at new JD and Kubota. Then I ran across this used 1533 with 171 hours. It is 4wd, loaded back tires, with a front-end...

I have a 2005 MF1533 that came with FEL and hydraulics for a grapple. Now I have bought a MF1575 backhoe. It did not have any installation instructions with it. On the side of the transmission there are three hoses that go to the joystick valve for the loader/grapple. On the valve there are...

Is it possible to add a set of remotes to this tractor without going the dealer route (nearly $2000)? Would like to add two remotes to the rear and (wishlist) one to the FEL for future use.

Hopefully someone can help? I have a Massey 1533 that has a fel and I also added a valve so I can use a small grappler. It all works great, but I sense it is not working as strong as it should. The rated pick up weight is 1200lb, but when I pick up a dry sand bucket. ( Bucket designed for...

Has anyone had problems with sticking hydrostatic pedals on their 1500 & 1600 series tractors. It happens when the tractor is under load, such as pushing into a dirt pile with the loader or driving up an incline. You have to be ready to hit the reverse pedal to stop pushing. I just had my...

Any thoughts on a fair price for this 2007 Massey Ferguson 1533 Tractor with loader and 5ft bush hog? Has around 275 hours, synchro-shuttle trans. Do the tires look about right for only 275 hours? Looks like there is some damage to the right front hood and grill area. Also has a few...

I called my local Massey dealer today to get some pricing on the rear remote kit for my 1533. Apparently, they only have a dual remote kit and it's $1887! Is that all? I replied to the salesmen. LOL Apparently, since the kit was transferred from sales to parts, it's gone up in price by around...

Hello all, long time reader - first time poster here. I've been looking for a good tractor in the 30 - 40 HP range for a while now and can't seem to find any good used ones for a less than new price. I found a 2005 Massey Ferguson 1533 with a 1525 loader for 11,000. It is the 8x8 shuttle...

Looking at a MF 1533 w/loader. Does anyone have one and what are your pros and cons? Will the little tractor handle 1,000lbs rd bales with the FEL? The specs say it will but Im looking for real life experience. How is the Iseki engine?

Hi everybody, This is my first post . I have a 2006 Massey Ferguson 1533 with 340hrs on it and I have developed a leak in the main loader valve body. The leak is coming from the small hole next to the set screw. It only starts to leak when the tractor is running. I was wondering if anybody...

Just baught my Massey yesterday and can't wait to climb aboard.

i am looking to buy a tractor with FEL and i think the mf 1533 is a good way to go, does anyone have any complaints about them? the other thing i wanted to ask was for that size tractor it seems light on hp do you think it has enough to brush hog and move heavy materials with the loader?

I am trying to find out if the Massey 1533 loader controls have the "power beyond" feature, or do I need to change the control. I am looking to hookup a log splitter, I know how the "power beyond" feature works, just not sure if I have it on the 1533.

I have a Massey 1533 - I have been browsing the threads looking to see if it has a "power beyond" port coming off the loader controls. I am looking to hook up a log splitter. I understand how the "power beyond" works I just don't know if my loader control has this feature, thought maybe...

However, a guy I know purchased a 1533 last year for 17,500 and another guy bought a 1540 for...

Surely there is a trick to reconnecting the hydraulic hoses for the FEL to our MF1533. Pushing as hard as we can on back of the connector and the hose hasn't been enough. A quick search here hasn't returned anything. I had mistakenly assumed the connectors would be quick disconnects, but there's...

I've got a 1533 waiting for me to pick it up in a few weeks. Is there a manual available anywhere online? There's no better reading than a piece of equipment's service manual! :)

hi all, so my questions are these: is a PB and remote valve kit the same thing, dealer wants 1000.00 for a kit, im wondering if i can come off my existing joystick for loader... or maybe just go with A pto pump.. all of this is so i can run a Bradco 9md2 backhoe attachment. any and all thoughts...

Anyone here happen to know the correct oil/fuel/transmission filter part numbers for a MF 1533? I got a Challenger MT265B with hydro transmission that suppose to be the same machine as the 1533. I called 2 nearest dealers but no luck (CAT dealers only deal with commercial accounts). I was...

Hello, Was on my 1533 yesterday when I heard a Pop and saw Smoke on right side of motor. After Investagation I determined it was the Solenoid on the back of the injector pump ( melted the rubber cover ) has anyone ever seen one of these short out before ??? Thanks for the help

Hi all, I have a GC2300 w/ a FEL & 60mmm I believe it is a 2004 model. I use it primarly for mowing 4 acres, I also do some fel work where the problem is, I also use it to pull and run my 300 gal. sprayer unit for the chicken houses. I have found the tractor over all very good just a little...

Well, I finally went and read so much I just had to join the tractor owners club. First a note on my user ID, Redeye_Rex. Most of my "net" time is after 11pm local time, usually on towards 1am. I still have to get up and go to work in the AM so I usually get bloodshot eyes quite often. So...

If you happened to see my post in the safety section you'll know that I've been having absolutely terrible luck trying to rent a backhoe lately. I've been considering buying one for my 1533 but I'm not sure what to look at. People seem to like the Woods BX-80 is that the best to go with or are...

Last weekend while moving dirt for my new septic site hydraulic fluid began spraying out of the bottom of my MF 1533 loader joystick/control valve. While checking for loose fittings I realized it was coming out on from the opposite side of the output lines past the Allen screw. At first I...

Thanks to Jackie at Millonzi, Clyde at Fasse and my Massy dealer Allen I was able to take advantage of the suggestions read on this site. The combination is better than expected. I was worried that the grapple was going to be too light weight, but after working with it for 8 hours this...

I would apprciate any thoughts on a new 1533. I am trading up from an Iseki TL2700F. I have heard that the hydraulics can be an issue with these tractors? Also, is it true that filters and glow plugs are expensive? If any one is familiar with my Iseki, will I be getting much more tractor or...

I am planning on adding another tractor to the farm and am interested in something with a FEL to load horse manure and clean out some fence rows. I have looked at two Kubotas and read on this site about them, as well as looking at a MF 1533. My question is what model Kubota would compare to...

A local dealer has offered me a 2006 brand new left over MF 1533, with 4wd, a factory cab (with A/C and heat) and factory loader for $23,750. I think I can get him down more, because he admits he wants to sell it soon. Is this a good price? I'm upgrading from vintage equipment on my farm, and...

Finally have some pictures for those who care. I will send pictures along of the other equipment as I get into more projects. Puck

I am preparing for my 50 hour service, and my MF dealer sold me MF hydraulic oil that is simply labled Permatron. My manual says to use Permatron III. When I questioned him, he said it was the same stuff. I normally wouldn't doubt a dealer, but I haven't been completly impressed with their...

Only 4 hrs on new tractor and already need more attachments. I purchased a 5' bushhog w/tractor, and was told it would handle a 6' FM. Is a 6' too big? And would it handle a 6' bushhog? I know the rule of thumb of 5 hp per foot of bushhog and I have 26 pto hp. Tractor seems it would pull it...

I just signed a contract for a new MF 1533 8X8 Power Shuttle with FEL 1525 and a Howard R300B-150 tiller from an Oregon dealer. I paid $20600. Will the 8X8 allow the tractor to go slow enough for proper tillage? I just started looking at these post in depth and now I think that I paid to much...

Is the 2844 lbf weight spec for the 1533 in the Massey literature correct? I checked one out in person today and it doesn't look 630 lbf lighter than a Kioti DK35 or 400+ lbf less than a kubota 3430. Maybe the red paint was skewing my 'mental scale' . The tractor seems like a pretty nice...

Well, I've been look'n and look'n, and jut am having a hard time deciding on which machine to go with. today I drove the MF 1533, and loved it. Price: $17,700 with MF loader. Good or bad? Thanks in Advance.

New MF 1533 owner - should have delivery next week. Got a loader and 6' 3pt finishing mower with it. The MF is replacing a Kubota B7500HSD, which is a great little workhorse, but I've doubled my land and think that I would be better served by the larger tractor. I think it will also be alot...
