I have a Massey MF40 I believe its a 74 (guessing by serial). I
bought it a couple weeks ago and i have everything working
now but reverse. It has the instant reverse. I am new to
tractors but am mechanically inclined and have spent alot of
time researching to get this far with it. I have downloaded the
operating manual as well as shop manual but i really dont
know where to start with this issue. I saw some post about
greasing up the lever so i tried that and still no go. I messed
with the linkage a little but no go. Forward works. The
previous owner said that reverse worked sometimes and truly
seemed surprised it wasn’t working when we went to load it.
