Congradualtions the MF65 is a great tractor. First question is it a deasel or a gas Cont. G176 engine?My info is for the Gas engine. Best place for parts and service manuals is at your Full line MF dealer. They have them for ~$18 Parts and $39 service. with the binder. There are non full line dealers that have higher delevery charges from Massey and charge a bit more. However, direct from the dealer is far cheaper than on line. There are several MF dealers in your area. Goto the link below and type in your Zip to get the nearest dealers. The NAPA filter is a 1010, or an 1011. Just picked up one last week for $6.99. Napa has the cross referance book to get the right one. (again this is for the gas engine) The debate on the use of detergent oil verses non-detergent is varried. No opinion here. The MF65 is a four bottom plow 46HP tractor it will handle most any size bushhog you put on it. It will handle a 5 or 6 foot with out any problems. The transmission takes straight 90 wt. mineral oil. That is the GL-1 spec mineral oil. This is NOT SAE90 wt. gear oil. The oil is available at many places. others say they had good results with the wallmart brand GL-1 @ $23/5 gallons. The oil type and quantities should be covered in your owners manual. Jeff
