INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY
Introduction
The purpose of this manual is to assist Dealers and
Distributors in the efficient repair and maintenance of
Massey-Ferguson farm machinery. Carrying out the
procedures as delailed, together with the use of special
tools where appropriate, will enable the operations to be
completed withinJhe time stated in the repair time
schedule.
To assist with locating information, each division of the
manual is precedM by a contents page listing the
operations. Each instruction within an operation has a
sequence number, and to complete the operation in the
minimum time it is essential that these instructions are
performed in numerical sequence commencing at 1
unless otherwise stated. When applicable, these
sequence numbers identify the components in the
appropriate illustration. Where an operation requires the
use of a special tOOl, the tool number is quoted under the
operation heading and is repeated in, or following, the
instruction involving its use.
Indexing
For convenience the manual is divided into parts and
sections, each page bearing a part and section number.
The sections are $ubdivided into numbered operations.
Example: 7A-01 would be Section 7, Part A, Operation
01. This simplifies cross referencing and enables the
subject to be found easily.
Definition of Terms
The operation Clescriptions generally used throughout
the schedules may be defined as follows:-
Removal and Refitment
- Remove and refit an original part or assembly, or a
new part or assembly which does not involve
additional operations or time.
Install
- Install a part or component not previously fitted eg
accessories.
Overhaul
- Remove a part or assembly, dismantle, inspect and
recondition, re-assemble, and re-install making all
necessary adjustments.
Disassembly and Reassembly
- The term indicates the orderly taking apart of an
asssembly into indMduai parts and into the
original assembly.
Adjust
- Make necessary adjustments to restore specified
setting or performance.
Check
- Ascertains if a setting or condition is within limits of
acceptability, either as defined in the manufacturers
specifications or, wihere a dimension is not
specified, in the judgement of the mechanic. The
checking of fixings, eg nuts and bolts, includes
tightening to the specified torque figures listed in this
Manual.
Servicing
- All technical work to maintain the machine in working
order.
M-F 300 Series
Special Tools
Where the use of a special tool is specified in an
operation the tool number will be shown under the
operation heading and also following the instruction
requiring its use.
The use of the special tools mentioned in the text
contributes to a safe, efficient and profitable repair. Some
operations are impracticable without their use, eg the
refitment of the differential unit. Distributors and Dealers
are therefore urged to check their tools against the list
provided. Where necessary, tools may be ordered from:
V L Churchill & Co Ltd, London Road, Daventry,

concerning repairs and the fitting of replacement parts
and accessories.
Safety features embodied in the tractor may be
impaired if other than genuine parts are fitted.
In cerfain territories, legislation prohibits the fitting of
parts not to the tractor manufacturers specification ..
Torque wrench setting figures given in the Workshop
Manual rilust be strictly adhered to. Locking devices
wihere specified must be fitted. If the efficiency of a
locking device is impaired during removal it must be

other than genuine Massey-Ferguson parts. All Massey-
Ferguson replacements have the full backing of the
manufacturers warranty. Massey-Ferguson Distributors
and Dealers are obliged to supply only genuine service
parts.
Repair of the Tractor

TROUBLE-SHOOT AND CLEAN TRACTOR BEFORE
DISASSEMBLY.
If possible, make a complete diagnosis to determine
extent of repair required. Take precautions, as
necessary, to prevent dirt or other foreign material
entering hydraulic, fuel and air systems.

page, eg Issue 1,2 or 3 etc.
In some cases aditional pages or completely new
sections may be issued. These pages are to be inserted
immediately following the page carrying the next lowest
page number, or section number as appropriate.
. Where new pages are required to be positioned
between existing pages, the new page numbers will

Safety Precautions
Make sure thai all personnel are in a safe position
before starting the engine, or operating ANY of the
controls.
Always stop the engine before leaving the operator's
platform.
Wait for all moving parts to stop COMPLETELY before
starting any work on the tractor.
Before starting service procedures ... attached
equipment should be resting on the ground and all
hydraulic control levers operated back and forth several
times with the engine stopped.
If it becomes necessary to go under a raised
attachment (eg loader) to perform adjustments etc, safety
stands must be used to support the attachment.
Make sure the battery earth cables are disconnected
before working on the electical system.
M·F 300 Series
Keep hands, feet and clothing a safe distance away
from moving belts, pulleys and other moving parts ...
and make sure all safety shields are installed.
Be extra careful when performing any checks,
inspection, adjustments or tests that require operating
the engine, the hydraulic controls, or with the machine in
motion.
Make sure dependable jacks of adequate lifting
capacity and suitable stands (or wooden blocking) are
used to securely block up the machine when removing
any of the wheels or axles.
Before any attempt is made to disconnect or remove
any hydrauliC component, make sure the hydraulic
pressure within the system is relieved ... and the engine
is stopped.
Carry out the repair procedures in a 'common sense"
manner. Safety procedures cannot be over-emphasised
when working on, or around machinery ... especially
when working on engine driven andlor hydraulically
actuated equipment.
Safety also depends upon the skill of the serviceman in
the use of tools and other workshop equipment while
performing the recommended service procedures.
