massey ferguson 1643

has anyone ever had this issue

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...

Good Morning. I am a new owner of a MF 1643. I am looking for cross-referenced filters intead of the AGCO brand name filters. Can any one assist with with cross reference filter numbers number such as: (Fuel Filter = FRAM 3507) I am needing replacement filters for air, oil, and hydraulics...

Hi Guys, I'm getting ready for my 50 hour service & can not figure out where to put the second hydrostatic tranny filter, pictured below. On the transmission there is a cast iron cylinder that seems to be where the filter might go- I've enclosed a picture of it. Does the filter go inside this...

I currently own a MF 1529. It worked great when I first bought the tractor, but I now need a bigger more powerful machine, either the MF 1643 or the Kubota L4060 (new model that just came out, I think). I have not had any experience with either of these tractors, aside from sitting in them at...

Has anyone changed their fuel filter on a MF1643 (or any 1600 series tractor)? Mine is going to need changed fairly soon and the owners manual really isn't very descriptive. I've never owned a diesel before and it's my understanding that the fuel system needs to be bled after changing the fuel...

I currently am shopping for a CUT, and the MF 1643 with 12x12 gear, ROPS is my front runner. Now I am wondering if it is a good price: The dealer quoted me for a MF 1643 with front blade for 22400 US$. Other tractors that are in consideration are the Kubota L3940 and the Case-IH Farmall 40B...

What hydraulic oil(s) is/are the equiv of the MF brand listed in the owners manual? Thanks

Any Opinions on this tractor looking to buy a new one Thanks Gib

Finally got a set of rear remotes added to my MF1643. Only regret is that I didn't get them installed from the start.

Well, I finally did it! After much contemplation, I am trading in my MF1533 and getting the MF1643 with hydrostatic transmission, 72" quick attach bucket, rear tires filled. I hope I don't regret it, but I think I got a very good deal, can't wait until it gets here!:D

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've been lurking for awhile, trying to figure out a few things before purchasing a tractor. The tractor will be used for clearing snow out my 1/2 mile driveway in the winter, some brush (grass, weeds, saplings) clearing and possibly running a small baler or mower someday. The property is around...

Anyone here own one of the new 1643s?

I currently have a quote: MF 1643 or Boomer 3040. FACTORY CAB 6' FEL 6' FRONT SNOWBLOWER 7.5' HOE 5' HD ROTARY CUTTER BX42 WALLENSTEIN CHIPPER 72 MONTH ZERO FINANCING $50,000 Do you think this is a good deal? The New Holland dealer quoted $54,000 everything the same except for a CTV...

Has anyone replaced there HST filter located on the outside of the transmission case. The Manual says to change it and the dealer parts department tells me its a screen and to just clean it. I called Agco and the lady I talked with forwarded the info to their Tech. I also called another dealer...

What kind of price would I be looking at for a massey ferguson 1643 hydro with loader backhoe deal. Any dealer can also PM me a price. thanks

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.

I was doing some 'test' driving yesterday with my MF1643. I was getting more familiar with some of the features of the tractor, one of which was the differential lock. According to the manual, it should only be engaged when the tractor is stopped. However, I noticed that most of the time if I...

I need to complete my 50 hour service on my MF1643 fairly soon. Does anyone have pictures from their service? Looks straight forward enough, but the diagrams in the owners manual aren't exactly clear. Don't want to loosen the wrong plug!!!! Thanks.

I am looking at purchasing either a 1643 or 1648 CAB model with QPS transmission. Does anyone have any info on problems etc with these models.

I have a quesiton for anyone out there with a Massey Ferguson 1600 series tractor. I just got my MF1643 last week and noticed something strange last night while doing some work in the yard. I noticed that if I'm sitting still and move the steering wheel from lock to lock, it does not turn the...

Hey Everyone I'm looking for a little info. I have a MF 1643 Cab with shuttle shift. The problem I'm having is the clutch is really grabbing when I try to ease up to something such as spearing a hay bale or pulling in the shed to park. Due to the limited space and to much junk in my barns and...

I need some advice. I have been struggling with trying to decide between the John Deere 4120 and the Massey Ferguson 1643. I have looked at the spec sheets until I'm blind. I've test drove them both and priced them both out. I like the fact that the MF uses a naturally aspirated engine vs...

I have bit the bullet and bought a new 1643 cab for our vineyard. Seem to fit the bill for our work. Also has a FEL . Dont think this is overkill for us.Was using a 135 that we bought new back in the early 70s and will still be using it for prunning as it is set up for the mech prunner. Went...

I've posted some other things about what tractors I am most closely looking at. I figured the 1652 that I was mostly looking at was overkill, but from the responses that I have seen it appears that even the 1648 may be more overkill than I originally anticipated. So will a 1643 with 120 FEL...

Walked into Proudfoot's this morning after dropping the missus off at the mall. Her last words to me were, don't buy anything else today. Now she knows I'm headed over to the dealer to make the order for the 1643. But she knows me well enough to say that. Get to see Brock, we chat, looked over...
