Hi new to this site. Can anyone tell me please the closest or identical manuals for a MF 158-8 with a Perkins AD4.203 engine.
Thanks in anticipation
 
Hello, the 158-8 is a French-made tractor
which sits between the 135 and 165. The
-8 signifies that it was made in France.
In the UK it would be -7. The AD4.203 is
similar the the engine fitted to the
early 165, up to 1967 in the UK.
Generally the clutch, transmission and
brakes are the same as the 165 but has 3-
plate oil immersed inboard brakes as
opposed to the 165's 5-plate ones. I
believe that UK and European tractor
specs might not be included in manuals
which cover US tractors only. The genuine
MF manual is always the best but ensure
you buy one that covers European and UK
tractors.

David, thanks very much for your reply and info it will be very useful. You are correct as we are in France. I am looking at 165 manuals on CD from a guy on ebay in Scotland.
Thanks again
 
Bonsoir, ca va?
What a pleasant surprise to read that you are in France. What part, may I ask?
This makes finding a manual a lot easier. I have a photocopied version (purchased on ebay France)of a manual called
'Revue Technique Machinisme Agricole'. It covers 'French' Massey Fergusons from the 37 to the 165/865. Mine is in
French but I can just about understand the more technical aspects of the book. Scan attached.
I have had a look on ebay France and an RT exactly the same is for sale for euro 47.90. This is quite expensive in my
mind but it does appear to be an original copy. The ebay number is 274300590514.
I am currently carrying out a major repair/rebuild to a customer's French 155 which is almost identical to the 158
and also has an AD4.203 engine.
If there is anything I might be able to help you with please don't hesitate to come back.

Ciao
DavidP
