massey ferguson 265

Hey all, I have an older MF 265 that is very hard to turn a tight right, but will turn to the left reasonably easy. I have added fluid to the pump a few times in the past. Often it steers okay turning in either direction when I first start the tractor up. Makes me wonder why I can turn left so...

Hi folks, I went to replace some parts on the steering of my MF275. The parts had not been replaced in the last 10 years and the steering had become vert difficult to turn especially around the yard. I certainly wasn’t greasing it often enough either. Anyway I removed the old parts and went at...

In reviewing the parts manual for the MF 265, it appears that a handbrake was either an option or a requirement for tractors sold in Florida (USA). I can’t imagine that MF would have provided a significantly different design for Florida tractors to just accomodate including a handbrake. This...

Hi all, I have a late 70's Massey Ferguson 265 that has a pto issue. The pto won't stop turning . It engages well when I use the lever to put the pto in gear to run my bush hog, baler, swather, etc. When I disengage it with the lever, the pto does disengage, buts when I stop running the...

Hi all, Have an older MF 265 with cab (ROPS) that has a door issue. Due to a day the PO drove into an unseen hole in the field, (highways cleared out a culvert entrance that had 'filled in', the door sprung open I guess. Ever since, the door never closed properly again. When I got it, I could...

I’m confused. Anyone familiar with the MF265 with a 6 Speed Transmission WITHOUT multi-power? Both the operators manual as well as the service manual seem to indicate transmissions for the 265 are either 8 speed or multi-power 6 speed. I have a 265 that is clearly a 6 speed and is has no...

Hi all, the ignition fuse on my 1970's MF 265 has started to blow. I realize I'm looking for a wire that is grounding to the body somewhere, and there aren't a lot of wires on this tractor. I've spent about 4-6 hrs. going over the wiring to no avail. (This tractor does have a cab which does make...

Hello all, new to me 79 MF 265 with injection pump leak at the main body pump head seal. Trying to redo a few of the previous owners attempted fixes, i bought a rebuild kit and I&T manual (Big mistake) and went through it with no problems. I got it back on the machine but the top cap gasket...

Hi all, new to this site and need a little help with a massey ferguson 265. Currently having issues with the multi power not engaging. Will engage when its cold but as soon as it warms up it won't engage high multi power-not that fun on the hills. I have changed the filters, replaced the oil...

Does the 265 have wet or dry brakes and how do you tell the difference by looking at it? And also what are the fill plugs on the back side of the rear hubs on the square axle for? Thanks for any answers

How do you set the levers to get constant pressure to the two hydraulic connections at back of tractor? We have set the levers as instructed in the Operator's manual but, we are not getting hydraulic pressure. There is a setting on one of the levers marked "Constant Pressure". We are trying to...

Steering on my Massey Feguson MF 265 locked up. I disconnected the tie rods and two (2) hydraulic cylinders from the center steering arm that is located on bottom side of tractor. I removed the cotter pin and castle nut from the center steering but cannot get the steering arm to move. Is there a...

It was late 2009 the last time I cleaned up the battery cable ends and the battery rack in the nose. Late the location but the 4DLT does add about 100 pounds of weight to the nose. The last few times I had to wiggle cables to get it to start. One issue was the ends had no gap left so I could...

With a load or not the draw arms will not pick up when first started, after warming up they will raise only at an idle or around 500 rpm. If you raise the rpm to 1000 the draw arms will drop all the way down. It does not have a selector switch valve to switch from draw arms to front bucket (does...

Looking at purchasing a MF265. Anyone had any problems with it or recommend it. Thanks

Hello, My 3 pt. lift is really slow about raising my 6 ft. bush hog. I can raise it to the full up position and the stand on it and it will go back down. It seems as though the lift pump maybe going out on it. I have change the hyd. oil and cleaned the filter with no results. Any help is...

Just want to say hello. I just joined today.

My 265MF has now jammed the trans on me twice this season. I've been able to pull the cover off and get the forks aligned without much effort, but I was just wondering what I could to eliminate the need to carry a long screwdriver with me. Is this a problem with the shifter or the forks? We used...
