Hello all,
Just bought a what I was told is a 1974 Massey Ferguson 165. Problem is I can't seem to narrow down the serial number.
The data plate has CDW643012474 as the serial number. It has the Perkins AD4.203 diesel, 2 remote hydraulics, and multi-power.
Appears to have a 2 stage clutch, but the tranny dip stick shows hardly no oil in the transmission, so I don't want to move it to much until I correct that, along with some other issues, none really major as of yet.
ptfarmer, if you read this, this is the tractor I ask about about a week or so ago. Everyone else, please chime in and give me any hints or tips.
As of right now, the lift arms are disconnected from the yokes because they won't go down. So, first thing is to remove the lift cover and inspect for damage / wrong assembly,(p.o. told me he replaced some springs and such under the cover, didn't use a new gasket, red RTV for a sealer).
Any and all help will be appreciated. Haven't ordered the repair manual yet, so, if anyone has diagrams they can scan and convert to PDF, it will be greatly appreciated
Sorry for the long post, wanted to put out as much info as possible...
Thanks All,
Roger
