Massey Ferguson 1540 Linkage

[DarkBlack]

The only issue that I’m aware of is an intermittent hydraulic pump chatter and resulting loader chatter on certain models during the series. I never bought mine back for evaluation, as it was just out of warranty when I bought it. It does it every once in a while. I’m not sure if it involves a complete pump change or not. There’s a split in serial numbers where the suction components were changed, like the hydraulic filter and hose. I’ve put in the second series.
Otherwise it’s a pretty bulletproof machine

As others have stated, the 3 point setup is category 1

The manual calls out 10w30 diesel oil, but I’ve always run common 15w40, or 5w40

We run Rotella T6 5w-40 for engine oil and we use a Napa 1394 on our 33 hp 1533... you have a larger engine and the filter may be different.
