Your Multi-Power transmission contains 2 sets of gears which have different ratios. The low M-P set has an over-running clutch in the driven gear. The high set has a hydraulic clutch pac connected to the drive gear. Hydraulic pressure engages the high side. The over-running clutch drives the tractor when there is no pressure. Questions?

Be careful, Multi Power freewheels downhill in low multi power. Years ago our neighbor needed our low wheeled MF 65 for some forgotten reason. I needed to do some combining that day so he left me his MF 65 high wheeler with MULTIPOWER. Since our tractor didn't have this, I wasn't aware of the downhill freewheeling in low (MP). Our SE OHIO farmland is very hilly, and as I started to turn downhill at the end of a strip of wheat, I thought, I'll just shift 'er down in low (mp) and let the engine help hold me back. WRONG! I was off to the races with a 7" Massey combine with a nearly full bin of wheat chasing me. Thank the Lord, I got it back under control. Un beknownst at the time, the neighbor was watching me and laughing his a$$ off. Wasn't funny to me. Moral of this tale is; never shift to low multi power heading downhill. Good luck and enjoy your fine Massey Ferguson tractor.
