massey ferguson 40

Hi all, My MF40 Industrial 1976 Backhoe Boom will not go down. When I pull on the control lever it goes up ok but when I push on the control lever, the lever has very little travel and the boom will not go down. Any ideas as to what could be the cause of this? All other functions such as...

A strange request but i know very little about the Massey Ferguson range. We have owned an Ex Military Industrial tractor since 1995. Purchased directly from the MOD (so no registration plates as we never licenced it). It has a plate stamp serial number MF40 865096. I have tried my best to...

i parked my mf40 backhoe about 2 months ago, went to use it the other day and the rh rear wheel is locked up, left turns fine, when jacked off the ground i can rock the wheel forward and back about 1/2" and something like a pin or something internally is stopping it rotating, left side turns by...

Hi from the UK. Having a bit of a problem over here trying to discover the right part number(s) for replacement Steering Cylinders for my 1971 MF40 2205 (shuttle gearbox version). There seems to be a lot of conflicting information online so thought somebody might be able to shed some light for...

They look similar, a 1961 203 and 1971 40. I know the axles are different. The 40 parts rig I知 looking at has same Perkins motor, so I知 interested if the price is right. But not really if nothing else would swap over, like trans parts, pto, hydrolic pump, power steering pump. Anyone know off hand?

Today I reinstalled the boom spool back into its place in the 6 spool stack and tested the operation. All good except now I see there is fluid coming out of the ram at the gland end. Never leaked before. I was very careful to put back everything that I took out. Actually all I di was to remove...

A big ask, but, Does anyone have a Massey Ferguson Industrial MF40 with MF220 Backhoe Repair Manual or a backhoe parts manual in soft copy that they would be willing to "Share"....purely for evaluation purposes. thanks

Hi, I have a Massey Ferguson Industrial 1976 MF40 Loader Backhoe. It has a MF220-7 Backhoe and a MF207 Loader self leveling. Some time ago I rebuilt the Dipper ram and now am looking at working on the 6 spool control valve assembly for the backhoe. I have the spool out and there is a o ring...

I've had this 1977 Massey Ferguson MF40 industrial tractor with Perkins AD3.152 for around 8 years now. It was bought to help build our house down here and has done incredible work but everything on it is old! This month I rebuilt the steering box and injection pump CAV DPA unit. After...

I'm looking at a massey ferguson mf40 with considerable blowby on one cylinder. I found rebuild kits for ~300 which is within reason for me. My question is how disassembled do i need to take the tractor to do this? Is it just a matter of removing the hood, or do i need to remove the loader as well?

Hi everyone, I have an mf40 industrial with loader and backhoe. It has instant reverse. 3 cyl perkins gas. Engine and hydraulics work fine. But it will not move forward or backward. It clicks into gear perfectly, but won't move when I throttle up. The problem is not the drive coupling. So I...

Need some advise. I have a 72’ MF40 industrial that the 3 point stopped working. I tore into it and found the lift cylinder had cracked. I replaced with used part put back together (which was a bit of a learning curve getting all the linkage back together correctly) fired it up and lift had no...

Hello, I have a MF40 and trying to determine the year and the value. The serial number on the tag is 9A 124376. Can anyone help identify this. I have tried tractor data.com but can not find much info on the MF40 serial number. Thank You Ray

Lift stopped working. Removed center lid and found big crack in cylinder and piston. Anybody been though this before? Have books.

Hi, Bit of a newbie from Australia here. Got a great little petrol kero grey TE20, but am looking at something a bit bigger for track and scrub work. Looking at what was suposed to be an MF60 but I think its an MF40, wondering if anyone can confirm by the serial number on the dashplate. Serial...

I am re-working the power steering on my early 70's MF 40 Industrial tractor. When I bought it, it had a Barnes style pump mounted to the engine, but it was missing the fittings and the lines were hanging. The pressure line comes out of the front center of the pump and goes to the Char Lynn...

Hello, Can anyone provide assistance with identifying/confirming this tractor? I bought this thing for pretty cheap.. Always wanted an old Massey and this fit what i wanted (3pth and pto, 3speed hi/lo, shuttle shift, loader, diesel). it needs A LOT of work but i have the experience and tools...

I have a MF-40 that has a leak in the power steering, but I cannot find the leak, no visible fluid leaks to the ground. The unusual thing is that it leaks while parked and not running. If it sits a day or two, I have to add about 6-12 ounces of fluid. Any answers to this puzzle are appreciated.

My husband just got a Massey Ferguson 40 tractor. He does not know where to find the filter for the hydraulics. He is not computer savvy, and I am not tractor savvy. Can anyone provide direction/diagram/instructions on where he can the find the filter for the hydraulics on this thing? Any help...

I recently purchased an MF 40 industrial tractor, and would like to find a source to confirm the age. I was told it was a 1974 or 1975 by the owner, but another source believes it is a 1976. While I have found the serial number, I haven't had any luck finding a source to tell me the age. Please...

the loader was leaking a little around the tilt cylinders. so we changed the seals and filter on the system. put some hyd fluid in and started it up. no up and down or tilt on the loader. this is odd because it was working before, except leaking. I have not done a lot of seal changes on...

Hello fellow Massey owners. My shuttle arm leading into the trans case along side of the high/low shifter has broke so now I would like to replace it with a new one. I haven't any experience in this and with two kids in college I cannot afford a pro so if someone could tell me what to watch out...

I recently obtained this tractor from a good friend of mine. It has a front end loader which makes access to the engine oil intake cumbersome. I had to feed a funnel from the top of the lift arm. In so doing when I was finished I failed to put the oil stopper cap (black rubber plug) into the...

I have a 1968 MF 40 with a non functioning dif lock. It is a long lever you pull on the R side. The big MF32 loader frame attaches to the rear axles and I assume I need to pull it off as well as the axle bolts to get to the goodies inside. I am assuming something is broken or sheared inside...

I just purchased a Massey Ferguson MF 40 and the steering is totally lame...all of the other hydrolic seem to work fine on the loader and box scraper...any suggestions

Replace or repair bent Loader Bucket Cylinders on 1974- ? Massey MF 40 Tractor

I can't find the tie rod ends for the steering track bar for an MF40. I found some for an MF40B. Wouldn't this be the same tractor as the MF40 model but with a backhoe added?

Hi all, well I'm getting old and I can't remember which way the tachometer seal goes in the housing. Rubber facing out of the housing or toward the cable end.Thanks for the help.

Hello fellow MF owners and others. My neighbour Max and I both have MF40 Industrial tractors with the FEL/Backhoe configuration. We are farmers (of sorts) but find these tractors excellent work horses around our respective properties. I actually bought mine about seven years ago after hearing...

I have a gas MF 40 that will not start. I moved here in August and ran fine when I parked it in the barn. It is getting gas and fire from the coil. I have owned the tractor for about a year and a half and never had a problem with it starting. The only thing different here is it is very damp in...

Hi. New to tractor owning (and this forum) and have a problem with my new 70s MF40 industrial. All has been working fine and Friday morning the loader and bucket tilt have started to rise very slowly. Its not jerky and oil level is fine. Its just like the lifting output from the pump is being...

Hi from Australia, Have just got an old MF40 (57 model I'm told) and the power steering always turns to the right, it can be steered but when you let go of the steering wheel the steering goes hard right. I have tried adjusting the spool on the steering housing but it seems to have no effect...

Greetings, Help! I have a Massey MF 40, probably about 1970's. I need to check power steering fluid. As near as I can figure it is located on the right side of the engine and is shaped like a machine gun drum magazine that was on a Tommy gun. (Don't know how else to describe it). Anyway...

Good Morning Guys, A month or so ago I bought a 1970ish (the previous owner didn't know exactly what year) MF 40 industrial. When I bought it he said he had recently topped off the hydraulic fluid and the TPH hitch stopped coming up. I checked what I believe is the dipstick for the fluid (right...

Gentlmen, I recently purchased a Massey Ferguson Industrial 40 from a friend that didn't know anything about tractors, much like me :D My issue is the TPH hitch will not come up. He said he added hydraulic oil to the system and that is when it stopped working. My issue with that is the front...

I have owned a MF 40 for several years and this summer I stopped and then I tried but it won't move, the shuttle seems to work but I can change gears. I get hardly any gear grinding and NO MOVEMENT. Please help. This tractor worked great for picking up big square bales after baling.

Geetings, this is my first entry on the forum. I have a MF40 with a Perkins 3 cylinder gas engine that instantly fouls the #3 spark plug, it looks oily. Tractor uses some oil but not real bad. I have owned it for about 14 years. I replaced the valve seals, but did not have much hope when I...

Or just sell and buy another tractor? Seems the transmission in our tractor is not well suited to our needs,the gearing just doesn't seem to suit our place,low 1 is too slow,low 2 too fast for bushhogging....especially on any sort of slope. On top of that,seems to lose power the longer I use...

The only remaining hydraulics repair place here in Eugene, Oregon wants higher prices than new for rebuilding the hydraulic cylinders on my front loader. Does anyone know of good dual action replacement cylinders that might be available. I am afraid to go with totally unknown aftermarket ones...

Hello I recently aquired a MF40 with a loader and found a MF54a backhoe attachment that came off a MF50C I believe it was. I thought it would be a compatible loader for the tractor and bought it, but it looks as though the mounting holes will not align. What needs to be done for these to...

Hi I have just bought a MF 40 industrial with a shuttle shift and I cant make it move forwards or backwards. Does any one know how to drive one? there seems to be 2 pedals on the left hand side and 2 pedals on the right hand side. the seems to be 2 gear levers

Greetings, New to forum and tractors. Industrial MF40 cira 1995 with FEL, 3 point set up, PTO. Bought from farmer's widow. All she knew about the tractor was she wanted it out of her sight, so I purchased it as a project and an intro to mechanics (current knowledge: none). What I would like...
