Engine Models Covered:
The manual covers the engine variants specific to the Massey Ferguson 255, 265, 275, 270, and 290 models. These typically include Perkins diesel engines.
Engine Types:
Diesel engines, likely Perkins 3- and 4-cylinder variants, depending on specific model and configuration.
Fuel System Components:
Includes information on fuel pumps, injectors, filters, fuel lines, and tank servicing. Specific engine models may utilize different fuel injection systems (e.g., rotary or inline).
Gearbox Type:
Likely features a manual gearbox with multiple forward and reverse gears. Specific transmission models may vary (e.g., 8-speed, 12-speed, or with multiplicator). Details on shifting mechanisms and internal components are covered.
Optional Features:
Some models may have options like a creeper gear or a shuttle shift, though not explicitly mentioned in the product description, the comprehensive nature suggests coverage if applicable.
Transmission Service:
Covers transmission overhaul, gear selection, clutch engagement, and lubrication requirements.
Scheduled Maintenance:
The manual provides detailed schedules for engine oil changes, filter replacements, lubrication points, transmission fluid checks, and hydraulic system servicing based on operating hours.
Engine Oil:
Specifications for engine oil viscosity and API service classification (e.g., SAE 30, 15W-40, API CD or higher) will be provided. This is critical for engine longevity.
Hydraulic Fluid:
Details on the correct type and viscosity of hydraulic fluid, likely a UTF (Universal Tractor Transmission) fluid or similar, with specific viscosity recommendations (e.g., ISO VG 46) will be included.
Coolant:
Recommended coolant type (e.g., ethylene glycol based) and mixture ratios for the cooling system will be specified.
Transmission Oil:
Specifications for transmission and differential lubricant, likely a heavy-duty gear oil or UTF, with recommended viscosity grades.
Common Wear Points:
The manual likely addresses common wear points such as clutch wear, hydraulic leaks, PTO bearing issues, and potential electrical connection problems common in older equipment.
