it weighs about 1.5 tone and has about 20 horse power which is good on a farm
The Massey Ferguson FE 35 with a serial number starting with "SDF" is typically associated with models produced in the early 1960s. Specifically, serial number SDF 99715 indicates that the tractor was manufactured around 1964. To confirm the exact year, it's always a good idea to cross-reference with Massey Ferguson's production records or tractor identification resources.
1.) Buy yourself an MF 50 tractor Owner's Manual. Try your local Massey Ferguson dealer or search online. Places like eBay and such are good places to try for used manuals. 2.) Go to Tractor Supply Co. and buy yourself an I&T Service Manual. (They are cheaper than the OEM MF manuals, but are not as comprehensive, and are more geared towards mechanics.) Also, it depends on what you are talking about. - The Hydraulic System? - The Engine? (...and is it a gas or diesel)? - What climate do you run the tractor in? Cold? Temperate? Hot? Generically speaking: - Engine - Regardless of temp, for most climates, you can run 10W-30 in the engine safely, no matter what. Cold? (0-60 degrees F) 5w-30 or 10w-30 or SAE 10 Temperate? (30-90 deg F) 10w-30 or 10w40 (or 15w-40 if diesel) Hot? (60-120 deg F) 10w-30 or 15w-40 or SAE 30 - Trans & Hyd - I believe the MF 50 uses a "common-sump" transmission/hydraulic system. Therefore, any good quality modern Transmission AND Hydraulic Fluid can be used. Honestly, even if they were separate sumps, you still could use the same fluid in this case. Fluids commonly known as: - TH fluid - Universal Tractor Hydraulic AND Transmission Fluid - John Deere's: HY-Gard J20C - Case IH's: HY-Tran - Massey Ferguson's PermaTran III (may be a higher roman numeral these days, as I haven't bought "MF brand" oil in a long time) - and Various other names that most Universal Tractor Transmission & Hydraulic fluids go by. DO NOT use straight hydraulic fluid or straight transmission fluids. You will not get as good of performance, and you will not have the right additives in your oil for the application. Your rear axle final drives may be separate from your transmission. I believe they are. For them, a good 80W-90 or SAE 90W oil would suffice. Kudos! ~AJ
Go to your local parts store or fuel jobber and get a can of Tractor Fluid or your dealer and get OEM fluid. About 50 bucks a can but a lot cheaper than a hydraulic pump failure. Good Luck!
hello your serial number is a 1978 model. You can go a web page: Tractordata.com have a good one!
YES. your power steering pump is a hydraulic pump that pushes fluid through lines to make your wheels move. hydraulic fluid such as ATF or POWER STEERING FLUID is good for your power steering pump. it is a PUMP after all. OIL has the purpose of lubricating, and has very different qualities than hydraulic fluid. DO NOT put OIL in your power steering pump... put POWER STEERING FLUID or if you can't get power steering fluid AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID will do...
Oh, dude, to add hydraulic fluid to a New Holland 545D tractor, you'll want to locate the hydraulic reservoir, which is usually near the back of the tractor. Just pop open the cap, pour in the hydraulic fluid until it reaches the proper level, and voila! You're good to go, like, ready to tackle those farm chores with hydraulic finesse.
Well, honey, for that Massey Ferguson gc 2400, you're gonna want to use some good ol' diesel engine oil. Make sure it meets the manufacturer's specifications, or you'll be in for a rough ride. And don't forget to change it regularly, unless you want your tractor to kick the bucket sooner than later.
Hi / If you go to the (Old Ferguson Tractor Web site) you will find a (Age Calculator) lead I have just found the Age of My Ferguson TO-35 Petrol : It's a 1955 / that Site will also explain what the different letters in the serial number mean: Good luck hexsix
There is no dyraulic fluid in the slk 230. I think this fluid is used on the starship enterprise but I will have to check with "Scottie" first. Sorry. Any good grade Hydraulic fluid from "Halfords" will do the trick. Sean
John deere hy-gard or any good trans. Hydraulic oil
