Massey Ferguson 2705 Info

I am looking at a MF 2705 with 1977 original hours on it and its a 2 owner machine. Its a very nice tractor, but i have heard horror stories about the transmissions. Can anybody give me some info on there experiences with these? Thanks.
 
The 8 spd transmissions were good. The 24 spds have the bad rap, but when they work they work really well. I have a 2805, the big brother of the line. I haven't had any transmission problems, the only major problem I've had was a throw out bearing that went, but they only last so long if they never get greased. The hydraulics are somewhat lacking by today's standards. The 2705 has a 354 perkins that is very reliable and fixable. Just remember you are looking at a 30 yr old Massey, consider it a disposable tractor. If mine kicks it, I will probably just go buy another, and life will go on.
 
Hi a guy had them near me here in Manitoba. both of them cracked the pinion bearing holder in the rear end and chewed things up. They are hard on equipment so this may be a factor in this too!.
They managed with a struggle to find good used center castings in wrecking yards in Canada. Repaired them and one did it again shortly after, It was welded and both got traded on 4430 Deeres. They where a pile and no better but oh well not my problems to fix in my shop lol.
I have heard that the later serial numbers are upgraded but cannot confirm this. Maybe go check serial numbers and parts list on Agco on line parts and see if there are different rear center axle castings listed.
Regards Robert
