The oil I put in was Motomaster TDH, Transmission, differential and hydraulic. Now my problem is that my 3 point hitch does not go up anymore. The oil I drained was milky white, so im guessing it had water mixed with it. I didn't really have time to fully clean out the reservoir and filter(not really sure how to get to the filter), and now the oil I put in is also milky white. I also noticed the difference in thickness, the oil I drained was more thicker than the oil put in. Should I use a different oil like Universal Tractor Fluid for the tranny and hydraulics? Thanks very much. [Reply]   [No Email]

America use MF Perma-Tran oil. I have tried universal oils that say they meet the MF specs. but in operation the MF oil works the best. [Reply]  [No Email]

On the Masseys you need to drain the oil for 1-2 days, then refill with 2 or 3 gallons of diesel and a couple pints of 90% rubbing alcohol, then run the tractor for 10 minutes. This will flush out all the junk and water. Clean your filter with diesel and a paint brush.Then refill with the right oil, I use Universal Transmission Hydraulic fluid (UTF). Stop filling at the low mark on your dipstick or you may get a leak at the rear axle. You can use the red silicone to seal the left side cover back up after filter cleaning. [Reply]  [No Email]

Samn40-in your 3rd picture directly to the right of the lever, the smooth slot. The other end of the pto lever fits in there? Thanks alot [Reply]  [No Email]
