From what I understand, you will need the serial number. No idea where it would be located, but you could do a search of the model to find out where they put the serial number. With that you can determine its year online or then post it and ask to help figure it out.

Look under steering wheel on left side dash is the serial number. Change oil-two drain
plugs left side and replace transmission lever rubber boots. 8 gallons oil.
 
I have a MF 575. MF produce a workshop manual, which covers the 500 range, When needed, it has different paragraphs for different models. Obviously, living in England, I do not know if it available in the USA.
 
I'd say its a Ferguson TO35, the MF35 is pretty much the exact same tractor. Someone maybe able to determine a year model using the tag on the engine provided the engine hadn't been swapped out with a different one. Without the tag on the tractor it's hard to say what year it is. The casting numbers are rarely, if at all are not the same as a part number.

Where the dry cavity is,. I have black oil. Loosened the inspection plate to let drip. Behind that is the shifters hi low transmission gearing I have to drain that. B/c water Same with the rear axle for the PTO.it booth white. I'm working on a International 300 Farmall close to the same year. Waiting to get the starter back. So I can move the Massey so I can split the tractor and see really what I am looking at. I was told that the seal was bad. The Massey is still working. Just the PTO not properly. The More information I can get the better. Ty
 
You will need to adjust the free play on main drive clutch at petal clamp to about 3/8" a hole is provided in shaft for turning shaft to get the free play and retighten the bolt real tight, once done remove cover plate on bottom and adjust the 3 bolts for the PTO disk to .090 by loosening the nut and set the clearance to the head of the bolts and retighten the nut but can only get to one at a time without turning flywheel. Get all 3 the same, that may be all that is wrong with PTO.
 

Thank you. I'll check that out tomorrow morning . I'm.not ase but I have been around cars trucks and motorcycles since I was 12 working on them. Tractors are just a new thing for me to add to my list.

The black oil is from engine rear seal, but bell housing drain hole probably plugged up,it should be open and have a cotter pin in it to rattle around and keep open. Most likely need new shifter boots to keep water out. If rear seal not leaking real bad, oil should stay drained away ok if drain is open.
