INDEX SEARCH
This section gives detailed servicing information to keep your tractor in perfect working
order for longer. Carrying out this regular maintenance will guarantee good returns
from your tractos.
Only good maintenance can guarantee maximum yield and working life for your MF
tractor. In addition, it will prevent losses and down time from damage and premature
wear.
☞ NOTES:
1 - The time worked intervals on the maintenance chart should be nmeasured
according to the tractor's hourmeter. Use a notebook to help manage the
regular maintenance of the tractor.
2 - This maintenance plan is divided in 2 parts:
Chart 1 relates to maintenance exclusive to the first 100 hours of use of a
new tractor.
In this period it is also necessary to perform items from Chart 2 - regular
maintenance.
After the first 100 hours, use only Chart 2.
At 50 hours of service
- Change engine oil and filter.
- Change power steering fluid and filter (MF 250X only).
- Change transmission and hydraulic system oil and filter*. Clean ISYP pump
screen filter.
* NOTE: See important note regarding this filter on page 165.

☞ IMPORTANT:
Do not let cold water run through the engine block as long as it is still hot.
Wait some minutes before filling it up.
Water at high temperature becomes dangerously corrosive. Thus, when water
without corrosion-inhibiting additives is used, besides oxidizing the engine´s
internal circulation galleries, it forms mineral layers which operate as thermic
insulators. This prevents the heat from being transferred to the water, not
allowing it to be cooled.
As time goes by, some dangerous internal problems show up, which are
difficult to diagnos and solve.
Thermostatic valve:
Its function is to prevent the engine operating at low
tgemperature for a long time after having started. Cold engine Hot engine
The thermostatic valve blocks water circulation
through the radiator, having the water only flow
within the engine block. Thus, heating is obtained
more rapidly.
As soon as the engine has reached the ideal
temperature, the valve opens, allowing water to flow
towards the radiator.
☞ NOTE:
Six cylinder engines have two
thermostatic valves in parallel.
Radiator cap:
The radiator cap controls the cooling system´s water
pressure.
That pressure delays the water boiling point. When
the radiator is without a cap, or the cap has suffered
some damage, the engine may overheat, because
the water will boil at a lower temperature thereby
not carrying out its cooling function.

☞ NOTES:
1 - Have the condition of radiator hoses and clamps periodically checked.
No risks should be taken by using components in doubtful condition.
2 - Never use components which may not be genuine Massey Ferguson.
The use of “similar” components will not guarantee that due temperature
control has been kept.

ATTENTION:
As a safety precaution it is recommended that a transparent tube be used,
in order to avoid the bringing the eyes close when opening the battery cells,
as acid fumes are deadly to the human body.
Never bring naked flames close to illuminate the battery area, as acid fumes
are inflammable.
If the battery is consuming water within very short periods (60 to 80 working
hours), or if it frequently loses charge, have the charging system (alternator
and regulator) tested, as well as the battery itself.
To clean:
- Disconnect the cables; first the negative,
afterwards the positive.
Clean battery and cable terminals with
sandpaper and steel brush. When assembling,
protect them with vaseline to avoid corrosion;
- Clean the battery case using warm water and
soap.
- Once again install the battery, paying attention
not to invert polarity. Cable (+) with terminal (+)
and cable (-) with terminal (-).
- First install cable (+) and afterwards termi-
nal ( - ).

C) Battery recharging:
When the battery is discharged, especially after
having been inactive for some time, it should be
charged on a low speed charger, around 9 Amperes/
hour.
High current induced by the charger (with a
discharged battery) could damage it.
Never test a battery by means of a short-circuit
between terminals.
Besides damaging terminals, there exists the risk of
the battery blowing up.
The use of a densimeter may reveal a good number
of a battery´s defects, by means of solution density.
Accentuated differences between the various cells,
may show the existence of a problem, such as
sulphate deposition or plates in short-circuit. In this
case a charging test should be carried out on a
special device.
Correct procedure:
a) Firmly place the auxiliary battery cable (+)
against the weak battery terminal (+) (mounted
on tractor).
b) Place the auxiliary battery cable ( - ) against a Starter motor
good ground, such as the engine block.
c) Start engine normally.

ATTENTION:
- Never carry out any repairs on
the electric system, without
having previously
disconnected the negative
battery cable.
- Never improvise by using
metallic objects or fuses of a
different capacity.
- When fuses are blowing too
frequently, examine the cause
of the problem. Never use a
higher capacity fuze to try and
deal with the situation.

1 - The coolant replacement process, as well as the fulfillment, requires
expertise staff and specialized resources.
For this kind and other services, contact your MF Dealer or an expert in
air conditioners.
2 - Don’t ever release the coolant hose connections. This fluid is highly toxic
and requires special techniques and equipment for handling. If the gas is
released directly to the atmosphere it can damage the environment.
# Hoses and Connections: verify their status for cracks, wear or holes. Pay special
attention to the connections, bends and leaks on the housing and other parts;
# General Fastening;
# Condenser Fins and Pipes. When cleaning the condenser, don’t use air jet (or
water) with over pressure, because it can bend the fins, obstructing the condenser.

An agricultural tractor´s activity is very often very seasonal, i.e. there are periods of
working around the clock and others when it stands idle for several weeks.
Tractor conservation should be a priority during that period, because the care given
to the tractor then is as important as that given while operating.
Basically, conservation in that period means protecting the tractor against damaging
agents such as moisture, heat, cold, dirt, impurities, etc.
Ideal conditions for an inactive tractor are as follows:

Clutch operation
In the case of clutches with organic discs, it is
advisable to keep the clutch pedal pressed to the
end of the 1st stage.

Other procedures
A) Remove the battery from the tractor, clean it
thoroughly and keep it in a dry place, with the
correct solution level.
Every month slow charge the battery, preventing
sulphate deposition on the plates, which also
happens because of lack of charge. If you leave
the battery on the tractor, remove the negative
cable and do what has been recommended
here.
B) Change the engine oil and, if it is near the time,
the other systems as well.
C) Drain the radiator water, perform an internal
washing of the system by letting water run
through. After that, refill the system using a rust
inhibitor.
Return to work
✔ Remove protections of exhaust, filter and
breathing tube used to avoid the entrance of
damaging agents.
✔ Reinstall battery.
✔ Check panel and operational lights.
✔ Correct tire pressures.
✔ Cut the fuel flow to the engine, releasing the
wire (1) at the injection pump solenoid - figure
1
at side, or pulling the kill switch.
This allows the engine to turn without starting.
Operate the starter motor for 10 seconds at the
most.
This lubricates all engine parts before starting,
thus avoiding premature wear.
✔ Once again connect the solenoid wire or push
the kill switch, according to the tractor, and start
engine normally, checking that the pressure
shown by the pointer on the panel indicator is
normal.
If it is not, turn the engine off immediately and
search for the cause.
