General Guidelines:
The manual provides detailed service intervals for engine oil changes, filter replacements, transmission fluid checks, hydraulic fluid maintenance, and lubrication points. These are typically based on operating hours or calendar time.
Engine Oil:
Specific SAE viscosity grades (e.g., SAE 15W-40) and API service classifications for engine oil are detailed. Massey Ferguson typically recommended specific oil types compatible with diesel engines.
Hydraulic Fluid:
The manual specifies the correct type and viscosity of hydraulic fluid required for the tractor's hydraulic system, often a UTF (Universal Tractor Transmission Fluid) or similar multi-functional fluid.
Coolant:
Specifications for engine coolant, including the correct type of antifreeze (e.g., ethylene glycol-based) and the proper mix ratio with water for optimal protection.
Transmission Fluid:
Detailed specifications for transmission fluid, including type, viscosity, and capacity, essential for proper drivetrain operation.
Common Wear Items:
While specific 'known issues' aren't listed in the product description, a comprehensive service manual like this would detail common wear items such as clutch plates, brake pads, filters, and seals, along with their replacement procedures and recommended intervals.
