I own a model 50 Massey Ferguson with a 3 cylinder Perkins diesel. It has a "multi power transmission" which is a slide type linkage on the console below the gauges. If I put this in high while travelling it increases ground speed but also increases driveline noise-not to the point of sounding like damage, just a increased howling from transmission Does anyone know a link on line where I can download an operators manual that would describe this or if not does someone have the lowdown on the proper operation of this lever. The decal on it only says engine braking in high range. Again it is not sounding like something wrong just want to know proper operating procedure. This was my Dads tracor. He owned it for about 8 or 10 years, he bought it from a neighbor who had it since new. Dad passed away last year and Mom gave it to me I think it is a 1962 vintage, has about 3000 hours on it. Runs like a new tractor Just bought a 3 point blade for it today
Thanks Shawn

Hi Shawn,we had a 1085 that had multi-power that worked the same.Engine breaking only in high simply means if you were traveling down hill in high,if you let off the throttle,it will be held back by the engine's compression.If you shift it to low,it will simply coast as if you were in neutral.Engine breaking comes in handy if you are hauling somthing heavy downhill,such as a load of hay,and you want to travel slowly.I'm not sure of the noise that you are refering to.We used to try not to shift to high on the move while under a heavy drawbar load with the assumption that it will extent the life of the multi power.Did it???Can't answer that one.Most shift through all the gears first in low,then flip it into high once they get to high gear.Pto load has no effect on the multi power,maybe pulling load doesn't either,maybe we were overkilling the being careful bit?pd
