Any MF 165 owners....need some help

I dont ever remember seeing a fuel filter set up like that on both sides of the tractor. They are normally right beside each other.
Is the filter, that is almost sideways in the photo, actually in that exact position on the tractor like that?
Will look tomorrow, if its still there.

did you get that small filter I mentioned in my last post

Massewrench, no the filter with glass bowl is straight up and down. Pic is crooked , on my 165 filter with glass bowl is on right side of engine and the filter that's in the canister is on left side

No they did not give me power steering filter. Would not know where it even goes haha

Ok I am wrong about the fuel filters on both sides.
Funny thing is, I worked on that tractor about 4 months ago, and dont recall seeing that setup.
I was redoing the wiring harness due to a bunch of burnt wires and wasnt actually dealing with the fuel system.

The tractor at work does not have a canister up front by the cooler either.
I did not have time to dig any deeper into yours but hopefully your manual will arrive soon and it will show all the options and locations of the different filters in it.

You really need to keep you serial number handy as it will help the parts guys determine what year model it is. Also depending on the year, they changed production throughout the year so what might fit on something made in March of that year will not work with a newer production model in October. Even though they are the same year model. Honestly its all broken down by the SN# because we never ask year model.

I still say you have a hyd filter underneath the tractor to change but could not confirm that today. Seems like it a 3 bolt cover in the shape of a triangle but with more rounded corners on it.

Buy an original service manual from your dealer. They can also be found in a PDF format on CD from eBay. Most of them seem to come from England so be prepared to wait on it to get here. You can find them from folks in the US sometimes as well.


I will try to find your other pics you put up for the cylinders and reply back
