New MF-243 owner needs help

Mecheng · Sep 2, 2016

Just got a 243 4wd with a front loader and I have zero manuals or literature. I've got hydraulic leaks at the quick connect. Can't even find the hydraulics fill hole. Can someone send me a picture of it or advice.

Thanks thanks thanks ahead of time!

The fill plug is on the left hand side next to the shifter, the dipstick is on the right side opposite of the pto lever. You can get manuals from AGCO http://www.agcopubs.com/massey_ferguson

I've got a shop manual on order but it's 2-3 weeks out. Found the dipstick last week and one large bolt cap that I thought was the fill but it gushed out when I cracked it. I ended up filling it through the dipstick opening (no easy task). I'll try the rusty one next to the shifter. Thanks.

Any thoughts on the 4xQuick Connect leaks?

If you have hoses hooked in and they are dripping/leaking just needs new o rings, should be pioneer. Can get new o
rings for them at most ag stores or your dealer.

Thanks, for the tip. Do you recommend a specific hydraulic fluid type/brand?
