Engine Oil Type:
Typically API CG-4 or higher rated diesel engine oil, viscosity grade SAE 15W-40 is common.
Hydraulic Fluid Type:
Usually a UTF (Universal Tractor Transmission) fluid or a dedicated hydraulic oil conforming to MF specifications like M-1145 or M-1135.
Common Wear Items:
Typical wear items include clutch packs (in powershift transmissions), hydraulic pumps, PTO clutches, and front axle kingpins.
Electrical Component Reliability:
Older wiring harnesses and connectors can be prone to corrosion or wear, affecting electrical system reliability.
Manufacturer Legacy:
Massey Ferguson is a historic and globally recognized brand in agricultural machinery, known for its robust and reliable tractors.
