I bought the Massey Ferguson mower. I have a few questions. Since it says made in Canada, is it metric? The idler pulleys are on the outside of the belts, is this right? Doesn't seem like they would do anything. Does this mower have a break away like others? Loks like it may, but has to shear a bolt. Finally, can anyone tell me for sure what model this is? It looks to be all steel, so may be the model 41. If I knew for sure, I could order a manual, and learn how to use and maintain this mower.

Pulleys and belt are situated correctly. They keep belt from whipping in that position. Bolts will be fractional, not metric. Not a 30 (rear mounted), nor is it a 71 (side mounted). It is a 31 or a 41. Hard to tell but if housing assembly is steel it is a 41; cast iron is a 31. Picture #6 is a cast iron housing, therefore a 31 you have. I cannot tell about the safety release latch, but it should have one. It would be a good idea to make sure that works. Good luck

Thanks for the input! Is the model 41 better than the model 31? Now, if I can just find the tractor end of the PTO, I could test it. It has 3/4" x 7/8" steel shaft, with steel guard around it. Maybe the local JD or NH dealer can help me.

The steel and cast iron housing would, in my opinion be close to the same as far as quality or durability goes. If your main bearings ever spin in the housing (Heaven forbid) the steel one could probably be repaired more readily. I think the rest of the mower would be more or less equal.

Did there used to be a guard over the belt? It looks like something was attached.

Looking at your pictures again, looks like someone has added a couple of brackets for a cover of some sort. Probably not a bad idea. But the parts manual has no brackets nor cover. A walk out to mine shows no evidence that my 31, or 41 ever has had brackets or covers.

I found the parts for my pto shaft, I have to put the cross tree in the yoke and quick disconnect. I have never done this, do you need a press, or some special tools?

The few that i have replaced/repaired i have used a vise as a press and a couple of brass nuts that are smaller than the needle bearing cup. Some of those spiders are cast iron and you can damage the steel ones also. Bee careful.
