Information and Instructions
This shop manual contains several sections each covering a specific group of
wheel type tractors. The Tab Index on the preceding page can be used to locate
the section pertaining to each group of tractors. Each section contains the
necessary specifications and the brief but terse procedural data needed by a
mechanic when repairing a tractor on which he has had no previous actual
experience.
Within each section, the material is arranged in a systematic order beginning with
an index, which is followed immediately by a Table of Condensed Service
Specifications. These specifications include dimensions, fits, clearances and
timing instructions. Next in order of arrangement is the procedures paragraphs.
In the procedures paragraphs, the order of presentation starts with the front axle
system and steering and proceeding toward the rear axle. The last paragraphs
are devoted to the power take-off and power lift systems. Interspersed where
needed are additional tabular specifications pertaining to wear limits, torqueing,
etc.
HOW TO USE THE INDEX
Suppose you want to know the procedure for R&R (remove and reinstall) of the
engine camshaft. Your first step is to look in the index under the main heading of
ENGINE until you find the entry “Camshaft.” Now read to the right where under
the column covering the tractor you are repairing, you will find a number that
indicates the beginning paragraph pertaining to the camshaft. To locate this
wanted paragraph in the manual, turn the pages until the running index
appearing on the top outside corner of each page contains the number you are
seeking. In this paragraph you will find the information concerning the removal of
the camshaft.

DUAL DIMENSIONS
TIllS service manual provides specifica ti ons in both Metric (81) and U.S. Customary systems of measure-
ment . The first specific ation is given in the measuring system perceived by us LO be the preferred system
when servicing a particular component, while the ~cond specifi cation (given in parenthesis) is the con-
ve rt ed measurement. For instanc~, a specification of ··O.28mm (0. 011 inch )" would indicate that we feel
t.he preferred measurement is the metri c syste m of meas urement and the U.S. Customary e<luivalenL of
0.28 mm is 0.0 11 inch.

POWER STEERING SYSTEM
WBRICATION AND BLEEDING
All Models
3. TIle hydrostatic power steering
fluid reservoir is attached to the rear or
the power stee ring hydraulic pump (Fig.
2). Massey-Ferguson Permatran 1lI Oil
is recommended ror use in stee ri ng
system.
On early models, an 011 strainer screen
Is located on pump Inl et pipe ins id e the
reservoir. On late models. a renewable
oil rnter element is located within the
reservoir. On a ll mod els, it is recom-
mended that stee ring fluid be renewed
and suction screen cleaned, or £ilter ele-
ment replaced, after every 500 hours or
operati on , or an nua ll y, whichever
comes £irst.
The st ee ring system Is selr bleeding,
but steering should be cycled and reser-
voir rerilled as necessary u nt il level
stops dropping. 1b £ill , stoll engine and
remove filler plug (F- Fig. 2). If st eer-
ing cy li nder has been disassembled or
drained, fill reservoir then start and idle
engine, adding fluid as level lowers un-
t il s)'8tem is stabilized. Install £iller plug
loosely, cycle the sys tem then recheck,
adding fluid as ne<:essa ry to maintain
rull reservoir. Tighten plug securely
when fluid level ceases to drop.

pressure line ( P-Flg. 2) and conne<:t a
0-20000 kPa (0·3000 psi) pressure gage
in pump outlet port. Start engine and
operate at 2000 rpm. Relief pressure
should not exceed I L375 kPa (1650 psi).

Relief valve pressure setting can be
adjusted by turning relier valve ad·
justing screw (Fig. 3, 4 or 5) clockwise
to increase pressure or cou nt erclock·
wise to reduce pressure. On early style
pump (Fig. 3) reservoir (1 4) must be
removed for access to relief valve. On
late style pum ps (Ag. 4 or 6), relief valve
is located on outs id e of pump body.
Recommended press ure setting Is
10345-11030 kPa (1600- 1 600 psi).
If specified reli er pressure can not be
obtained, service relief valve and pump
as outlined in ap llropriate paragraph 6,

POWER STEERING PUMP
Three different types of power s teer·
