Introduction NOTE: This book is published for worldwide

distribution, and the availability of equipment shown either as basic or accessory may vary according to the territory in which the tractor is to be operated. Full details of equipment available in your area can be obtained from your Massey Ferguson Dealer.

Use only Massey Ferguson approved attachments and equipment.

The purpose of this book is to enable the owner and driver to operate the tractor in a safe manner. Providing that the instructions are followed carefully, the tractor will give years of service in the tradition of Massey Ferguson. The installation of the product on the farm by the Dealer gives the opportunity to ensure that these operating and maintenance instructions are understood. Always consult your Dealer if you do not understand any part of this book. It is important that these instructions are understood and observed. Daily maintenance should become a routine, and a record of hours in service should be kept.

When new parts are required it is important that only genuine Massey Ferguson service parts are used. Massey Ferguson Dealers supply genuine parts and can give advice regarding their fitment and use. Extensive damage may occur as a result of the fitment of parts of inferior quality. Customers are advised to buy their service parts only from an authorized Massey Ferguson Dealer.

Owing to wide variations in operating conditions, it is impossible for the Company to make comprehensive or definitive statements in its publications regarding performance or methods of use of its machines, or to accept liability for any loss or damage which may result from these statements, or from any errors or omissions. If the tractor is to be used for abnormal conditions which may be detrimental, (e.g. deep water or paddy fields) consult your Massey Ferguson Dealer for special instructions, or the warranty may be invalidated.

These tractors are designed solely for use in customary agricultural operations (intended use).

*Use in any other way is considered as contrary to the intended use. Massey Ferguson accepts no liability for any damage or injury resulting from misuse and these risks must be borne solely by

the user. Compliance with, and strict adherence to, the conditions of operation, service and repair as specified by Massey Ferguson also constitute essential elements for the intended use. These tractors should be operated, serviced and repaired only by persons familiar with all their particular characteristics and who are acquainted with the relevant safety rules (accident prevention). Customers are strongly advised to use an official Massey Ferguson Dealer in connection with any service problems and adjustments that may occur.

Pre-delivery installation on the farm and Warranty

The Company, when selling new goods to their Dealers, gives a warranty which, subject to certain conditions, guarantees that the goods are free from defects in material and workmanship. Since this book is published for worldwide circulation, it is impossible to detail the exact terms and conditions of warranty that apply to a retail customer in any particular country. Purchasers of new Massey Ferguson equipment should request full details from their supplying Dealer. In accordance with the Company's policy of continuous improvement to its machines, alterations in the specifications of machines may be made at any time without notice. The Company accepts no responsibility for discrepancies which may occur between the specifications of its machines and the descriptions thereof contained in its publications.

Pre-delivery and Installation on the farm

A Dealer is required to carry out certain activities when supplying a new Massey Ferguson tractor. These consist of a full pre-delivery inspection to ensure that the tractor supplied is ready for immediate use, and to give full instruction in the basic principles of operation and maintenance of the tractor. These instructions will cover instruments and controls, routine maintenance and safety precautions. All persons who will be concerned with the operation and maintenance of the machine should be present during this instruction period.

NOTE: Massey Ferguson will not accept responsibility for any claim resulting from the fitment of nonapproved parts or attachments, or unauthorized modification or alteration.

Warranty procedure

Correct installation on the farm, coupled with regular maintenance, will do much to prevent breakdowns. If, however, operating trouble is experienced during the warranty period, the following procedure must be adopted:

*Immediately notify the Dealer from whom you purchased the tractor, quoting the Model and Serial Number. It is most important that there should be no delay, and you should realize that, even where the original failure is covered by warranty, if the failure is not repaired immediately, warranty cover may not apply. *Provide your Dealer with as much background information as you can. It will help him to know how many hours service has been achieved, the type of work on which you are engaged and the

symptoms of the trouble. It should be noted that normal maintenance services such as tuning, brake/clutch adjustments, and the supply of materials used to service the tractor (oil, filters, fuel and antifreeze) are not covered by the terms of warranty.

Parts warning

The fitment of non Massey Ferguson parts may result in a part of substandard quality being used. Massey Ferguson will not take the responsibility for any loss, damage or liability resulting from the fitment of such parts, and, if fitted during the normal warranty period the manufacturer's guarantee may be invalidated.

Moving to a new location

Only the Massey Ferguson Dealer from whom you purchased the tractor is responsible for the protection afforded by your warranty and, where possible, you should always take your tractor to him for repair. If, however, you move to another area or if your tractor should be working temporarily at some distance from the Dealer from whom it was purchased, you are recommended to obtain from that Dealer the name and address of the Massey Ferguson Dealer nearest to your new location and to ask for arrangements to be made for outstanding service warranty commitments to be transferred to the latter. If you have left the area in which the original Dealer operates and have not made arrangements with a new Dealer, the latter will readily provide assistance in an emergency but you will be charged at normal rates for any work undertaken unless:

*Y ou make it clear that the warranty has not expired,

and

*You give the repairing Dealer the opportunity to

make suitable arrangements with the retailing Dealer.

Service after Warranty

During the warranty period, you should have all your repairs and maintenance performed by your Massey Ferguson Dealer. This ensures that a detailed check is kept on the progress and performance of your new tractor. In order to obtain the best results from your Massey Ferguson tractor, it is important that regular maintenance and service checks continue after the warranty period has expired. Make use of your local Massey Ferguson Dealer for all major tractor services; a trained mechanic will spot any problems between one service and the next. The mechanics are regularly trained and updated on the product, servicing techniques and the use of modern service tools and diagnostic equipment. They receive regular Service Bulletins, have all Workshop Manuals and other such technical information to ensure that the repair or service is to the standard required by Massey Ferguson.

Safety

The safety of the operator is one of the main concerns in designing and developing a new tractor. Designers incorporate as many safety features as is possible in constructing our tractors. However, every year many accidents occur which could have been avoided by a few seconds thought and a more careful approach to handling farm machinery and implements. Read and practice the safety instructions detailed in the next section of this book.

WARNING:

In some of the illustration used in this Operator Instruction Book, panels or guards may have been removed for clarity. Never operate the tractor without these components in

position. If the removal of panels or guards is necessary to make a repair, they MUST be replaced before operation.

Tractor and Implement Safety

The tractor is a source of power - Mechanical and Hydraulic.

On its own, the tractor is of little practical value. Only when used in conjunction with an implement or other

attachment

does it become a working unit.

This instruction book is compiled to cover those safe working practices that are associated with the base tractor

operation.

It does not cover all operation and safety instructions relevant

to all known implements and attachments that may be fitted at the time of tractor delivery or at some future

date.

It is essential that operators use and understand the relevant instruction manual of such implements and

attachments.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Introduction to safety

This safety section of your Operator Instruction Book is intended to point out some of the basic safety situations which may be encountered during the normal operation and maintenance of your FOOTSTEP (ROPS) tractor, and to suggest possible ways of dealing with these situations. This section is NOT a replacement for other safety practices featured in other sections of this book.

Additional precautions may be necessary, depending on attachments used and conditions at the work site or in the service area. Massey Ferguson has no direct control over tractor application, operation, inspection, lubrication, or maintenance. Therefore it is YOUR responsibility to use good safety practices in these areas.

A word to the operator

It is YOUR responsibility to read and understand the safety section in this book before operating your tractor.

You must follow these safety instructions that take you step by step through your working day. In reading this section, you will note that illustrations have been used to highlight certain situations. Each illustration is numbered and the same number appears in the text in parenthesis. This number is placed at the end of the written text that refers to the illustration.

Remember that YOU are the key to safety. Good safety practices not only protect you, but also the people around you. Study the features in this manual and make them a working part of your safety programme. Keep in mind that this safety section is written only for this type of machine. Practice all other usual and customary safe working precautions, and above all - REMEMBER - SAFETY IS YOUR

RESPONSIBILITY. YOU CAN PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. Use only AGCO - Massey

Ferguson approved attachments and equipment.

Follow a safety program

For safe operation

For safe operation of an agricultural tractor, you must be a qualified and authorized operator. To be qualified you must understand the written instructions supplied in this Operator Instruction Book, have training, and know the safety rules and regulations for the job. Some regulations specify that no one under the age of 16 years, for example, may operate power machinery. This includes tractors. It is your responsibility to know what these regulations are, and obey them, in the operating area or situation. These will include, but are not limited to, the following instructions for safe tractor operation.

WARNING: An operator should not use alcohol or drugs which can affect his alertness or co-ordination. An operator on prescription or 'over the counter' drugs needs medical advice on whether

or not he or she can safely operate machines.

Observe the following

*DO NOT allow children or unqualified persons to operate your tractor. Keep others away from your area of work.

*Securely fasten your seat belt when the tractor has a ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure) frame in the upright position or is fitted with a cab.

*Where possible, avoid operating the tractor near ditches, embankments and holes. Reduce speed when turning, crossing slopes, and on rough, slippery, or muddy surfaces.

*Stay off slopes too steep for safe operation. *Watch where you are going, especially at row

ends, on roads, and around trees.

*DO NOT permit others to ride on the tractor or the implement.

*Hitch only to the drawbar and hitch points recommended, and never above the centre line of the rear axle.

*Operate the tractor smoothly - no jerky turns, starts or stops. When the tractor is stopped, apply the parking brake securely. Lower the implement and remove the key.

*DO NOT modify or remove any part of the equipment and DO NOT use attachments unless they are properly matched to your tractor.

Protective structures ROPS

A Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) and seat belt is fitted as standard equipment to the footstep tractor at the time of factory assembly. If the ROPS was removed by the original purchaser or has been removed, it is recommended that you equip your tractor with a Roll Over Protective Structure and a seat belt. ROPS are effective in reducing injuries during overturn accidents. Overturning a tractor without ROPS can result in serious injury or death (Fig. 3). If a fold down ROPS is installed DO NOT wear seat belt when the ROPS is in the folded down position.

Operation

*Before using the tractor ensure that the ROPS frame is not damaged, that it is securely fastened to the tractor and if a hinged section is fitted that it is in the raised position and secured.

*If the ROPS has been removed from the tractor, or folded down for a specific operation, it must be refitted or erected immediately afterwards using the proper hardware and applying the recommended torque values.

*DO NOT attach chains, ropes, or cables to the ROPS for pulling purposes; this will cause the tractor to tip backwards. Always pull from the tractor drawbar.

*Always wear your seat belt - adjusted snugly except when operating with a folded down ROPS.

*Check the seat belt for damage. A damaged seat belt must be replaced (Fig. 4).

Damage to the ROPS

If the tractor has rolled over or the ROPS has been damaged (such as striking an overhead object during transport), the ROPS must be replaced to provide the original degree of protection.

After an accident, check for damage to the ROPS, operator's seat, seat belt and seat belt mountings. Before you operate the tractor, replace all damaged parts.

DO NOT WELD, DRILL, BEND OR STRAIGHTEN THE ROPS. To do so reduces the protection it offers.

rough work).

*Safety boots.

DO NOT wear loose clothing, jewelry or other items and tie up long hair which could entangle in controls or other parts of the tractor. Note where fire extinguishers and first-aid or emergency equipment is kept and get to know where to find help in a hurry. Make sure you know how to use this equipment (Fig. 6).

Know your equipment

Know your tractor. Know how to operate all equipment on your machine and the implements and attachments used with it. Know the purpose of all the controls, gauges and dials. Know the rated load capacity, speed range, braking and steering characteristics, turning radius, and operating clearances. Keep in mind that rain, snow, ice, loose gravel, soft ground, etc. can change the way your tractor operates.

Under poor conditions, slow down and be extra careful, engage power front axle, if fitted.

Study the DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION safety signs on your tractor and the information signs also. READ THIS OPERATOR INSTRUCTION BOOK BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE. STUDY IT BEFORE YOU START WORK (Fig. 7). IF THERE IS SOMETHING IN THE MANUAL YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, ASK SOMEONE (such as your equipment Dealer) TO EXPLAIN IT TO YOU.

IMPORTANT: This manual covers general safe practices for agricultural tractors. It must always be kept with the tractor. For further copies contact your Massey Ferguson Dealer

Safety Notes

WARNING: DO NOT use aerosol types aids such as ether (Fig. 12) . Such use could result in an explosion and personel injury.

DANGER: Start the engine, with the starter key, from the operator's seat only. DO NOT attempt to start the engine by shorting across the starter

terminals. The machine will start in gear if the neutral start circuit is bypassed. This could cause serious injury or death to anyone in the vicinity of the tractor (Fig. 11). Ensure that the engine starter solenoid cover is always in position.

Follow recommended starting procedures

Follow the starting procedures recommended in the Operation section of this Operator Instruction Book. This includes normal starting, cold starting, and the use of starting fluids.

Test the controls

After starting, re-check all gauges and lights. Make sure everything is functioning correctly. If the tractor does not respond correctly when each control is operated, DO NOT use the machine until the fault is rectified.

WARNING: Before starting the engine

make sure there is plenty of ventilation.

DO NOT operate the engine in a closed

building. The exhaust fumes may cause

asphyxiation.

Always start the engine from the operator's seat with all the transmission levers and the PTO lever in neutral. Make sure that the tractor's dual brake pedals are locked together at all times unless you are making turns in the field which require independent use of the brakes. Make sure the brakes are properly adjusted so that both brakes engage at the same time. Adjust the seat, fasten the seat belt, apply the parking brake and put all controls in neutral before starting up.

410/420/430 - 001 8903 U1 UZEL

Starting

Warn personnel before starting

Before starting, walk completely around the tractor and any attached equipment. Make sure that no one is under it, on it, or close to it. Let other workers and bystanders know you are starting up and don't start until everyone is clear of the tractor, implements and towed equipment. Ensure that all bystanders, particularly children, are a suitable distance away before starting the engine.

Mount and dismount safely

Always use 'three point contact' with the machine, and face the machine when you mount it. (Three point contact means both hands and one foot or one hand and both feet are in contact with the machine at all times during mounting and dismounting). Clean your shoes and wipe your hands before climbing on. Use handrails, grab handles, ladders or steps (as provided) when mounting or dismounting. DO NOT use control levers as a hand hold and never step on foot controls when mounting or dismounting. DO NOT attempt to mount or dismount from a moving tractor. DO NOT jump off a tractor other than in an emergency.

Start safely

Safety Notes

WARNING: Y our tractor is a one-person machine. DO NOT permit others to ride on the tractor or the implement (Fig.

13). DO NOT allow anyone to ride on

the implements or other equipment including trailers, except on certain harvesting equipment, specifically designed for riders during the actual harvest operation only (not during transport). Such equipment must have provision for a safe riding area. DO NOT allow children on the tractor.

*Be certain you can control both speed and direction before moving. Move slowly until you are sure that everything is operating properly. After starting, recheck the steering, right and left. Be certain you have full steering and brake control. If differ ential is locked, DO NOT operate at high speed or turn the tractor until the differential lock is disengaged. *DO NOT lift a load over anyone (Fig. 14).

WARNING: An unbalanced tractor could overturn and cause injury or death. Make sure front frame counterweights, wheel weights and wheel ballast are

used as recommended by the manufacturer. DO NOT add extra counterweights to compensate for an overloaded tractor, it is recommended to reduce the load. Keep all parts of your body inside the operator's compartment

410/420/430 - 001 8903 U1

UZEL

Work safely

Make the right moves

Make sure your tractor is ready for the job it must do. Know the rated load capacities of your tractor and never exceed them. Be certain that any equipment or implements you intend to use DO NOT exceed the load rating of your tractor. Be sure the tractor and implement PTO speed match. Keep in mind that tractors normally operate on uneven, unpaved, and often bumpy or sloping surfaces. Operating conditions can reduce the amount of weight you should carry or pull.

Follow safe operating practices

*Operate the controls smoothly - don't jerk the steering wheel or other controls. *DO NOT get on or off a moving tractor. Keep a firm grip on the steering wheel at all times, with the thumbs clear of the spokes when driving the tractor. *Make sure you have adequate clearance in all directions for tractor, cab, ROPS and implement. *DO NOT play games with a tractor or equipment. Use only for intended purpose. *DO NOT attempt to work the controls except from the operator's seat. *DO NOT carry passengers (Fig. 13). *Before dismounting, always disengage the PTO, lower all attachments and implements to the ground, place the tractor in neutral, engage parking brake,

shut off the engine and remove the key. DO NOT touch, lean on, or reach through any implement mechanism or permit others to do so. Stay alert. Should something break, come loose, or fail to operate on your equipment, stop work, lower equipment to the ground, shut off the engine, inspect the machine and have repairs or adjustments made before resuming operation.

Watch out for others

*Be aware of what is going on. DO NOT allow an untrained or unqualified person to operate your tractor. They could injure themselves or someone else.

*Keep others away from your operation. DO NOT

allow anyone to stand or pass under a raised

implement (Fig. 14).

*DO NOT lift objects that can not be contained in

the bucket, get the appropriate attachment. DO

NOT allow anyone to stand on the ROPS or

fenders.

*When using a loader, avoid sudden stops, starts,

turns, or change of direction. Keep loads close to

the ground when transporting.

*DO NOT stand (or allow anyone else to stand) in

front of, under, or behind loaded or loading

equipment. DO NOT drive a tractor up to someone

standing in front of a fixed object.

*Keep others away from universal joints, hitches,

drawbar, lift arms, PTO drives, cylinders, belts,

pulleys, and other moving parts. Keep all shields

and guards in place.

WARNING: DO NOT stand, or allow anyone else to stand, between the tractor and implement unless the engine is turned off and the parking

brake is engaged, the transmission is in neutral, the key is removed, and all attachments or implements are lowered to the ground.

Risk of overturning

For your safety, it is strongly recomended that all footstep tractors are fitted with Roll Over Protective Structures (ROPS) and seat belts.

In the event of an overturn with a tractor (Fig. 15) fitted with a cab or ROPS, hold the steering wheel firmly and DO NOT attempt to leave the seat until the tractor has come to rest. To avoid side overturns

*Set the wheel track at the widest setting suitable for the job being done. *Lock the brake pedals together before driving at transport speeds. *Reduce speed to match operating conditions. If the tractor is equipped with a front-end loader, carry the bucket and load as low as possible. *Make wide slow turns at reduced speed. Don't let your tractor bounce. Y ou may lose steering control. *Don't pull a load too heavy for your tractor. It could run away on the down slope or the tractor could jack-knife around a towed load. *Don't brake suddenly. Apply brakes smoothly and gradually. *When going down a slope, use the throttle to slow the tractor engine and use the same gear range you would use to go up the slope. Shift into gear before you start downhill. *Engage powered front axle (if fitted), this will give four wheel braking.

WARNING: DO NOT disengage the clutch or attempt to shift gear after you have started downhill.

*It is less likely that the tractor will overturn i f you travel straight up or down a steep slope rather than across it. *Avoid crossing steep slopes if possible. If you must do so, avoid any holes or depressions on the downhill side. Avoid any stumps, rocks, bumps or raised areas on the uphill side. When operating near ditches and banks, always keep your tractor behind the shear line (Fig. 16). Avoid ditches, embankments and river-banks which might cave in. *If it is necessary to cross a steep slope, avoid turning uphill, slow down and make a wid e turn.Travel directly up or down the slope, never across it. When traveling up or down a slope, keep the heavy end of the tractor on the uphill side. *If when traveling across a slope with side mounted implements, keep the implement on the uphill side. Don't raise the implements. Keep them as low to the ground as possible when crossing a slope. *When towing a load at transport speed or in the field, lock the drawbar in the centre position and use a safety chain. *DO NOT use your tractor to round up farm animals.

To avoid rear overturns

WARNING: Hitching to the rear axle, or

any other point above the swinging

drawbar, can cause a rear overturn.

*DO NOT pull anything using the top link connection, or from any point above the centre line of the rear axle. Always use an approved Massey Ferguson drawbar, and only use a drawbar pin that locks in place. *High hitching can cause rear overturn, which may cause serious injury or death. Hitch loads to the drawbar only. *Only use a three-point linkage drawbar when stays are fitted to keep it in the down position. *Use front counterweights to increase tractor stability when towing a heavy load or to counter balance a heavy rear mounted implement (Fig.17). *Start forward slowly and gradually increase your speed. DO NOT rev the engine or drop the clutch. If the tractor is attached to a heavy load, or immovable object, improper clutching may cause overturn. *If the front end of the tractor starts to lift, reduce your speed and, if necessary, disengage the clutch. *If your tractor is bogged down in mud or frozen to the ground, DO NOT attempt to drive forwards. The tractor can rotate around its rear wheels and overturn. Lift any attached implement and attempt to BACK OUT. If this is not possible, tow it out with another vehicle. *If you get stuck in a ditch, BACK OUT, if possible. If you must go forward, do it slowly and carefully. *A bare tractor or tractor with rear mounted attachments should be backed up the slope in reverse and travel forward downhill. *A tractor with a loaded front-end bucket should be backed down the slope and travel forward uphill. Keep the loader bucket as low as possible. *Always keep the tractor in gear when going downhill. DO NOT permit the tractor to coast with clutch disengaged or transmission in neutral.

Safety Notes

DANGER: DO NOT attempt to unplug

the hydraulic connections, or adjust

an impl ement with the engine running

or the PTO drive in operation. To do so may result in very serious injury or death.

*When using chemicals, carefully follow the chemical manufacturer's instructions for use, storage and disposal. Also follow the chemical application equipment manufacturer's instructions. *When operating under poor visibility conditions, or in the dark, use your tractor field lights and reduce your ground speed. DO NOT use your field lights when travelling on a roadway because rear pointed white lights may be illegal except when reversing and may confuse following drivers. *Operate your tractor with the wheels set at the widest setting possible, consistent with the particular task you are performing. To adjust wheel settings refer to Maintenance and Adjustment section. *Reduce your speed when operating over rough or slippery ground and when foliage restricts your view of hazards. *DO NOT make sharp turns at high speed.

Implements and attachments

WARNING: A front-end loader (bucket

or forks) must be equipped with a

suitable restraining device to prevent

the load (bales, fence posts, rolls of

fence, wire etc.) from rolling down the lift arms into the operator's compartment and crushing the driver when the loader is raised. Inadequately secured objects could also fall and injure bystanders.

*Three-point hitch and side mounted implements make a much larger arc when turning than towed equipment. Make certain to allow sufficient clearance for turning. Use only Massey Ferguson approved attachments and implements. *When using attachments or im plements with the tractor, be sure to thoroughly read the Operator Instruction Book for that attachment or implement and follow its safety instructions. *DO NOT overload an attachment or towed equipment. Use proper counter -weights to maintain tractor stability. Hitch loads to the drawbar only. *A safety chain will help control drawn equipment should it be accidentally separated from the drawbar while transporting. Using the appropriate adaptor parts, attach the chain to the tractor drawbar support or other specified anchor location. Provide only enough slack in the chain to permit turning. See your Massey Ferguson Dealer for a chain with a strength rating equal to, or greater than the gross weight of the towed machine (Fig. 20). *Make sure any towed implements are equipped with a safety chain linking tractor and implement. *Pull only from the approved drawbar. Towing or attaching to other locations may cause the tractor to overturn (Fig. 21).

Safety - towing

*For towed equipment WITHOUT brakes, DO NOT tow equipment: at speeds over 32 km/h(20miles/hour), that, when fully loaded, weighs more than 1.5 times the weight of the towing unit. *For towed equipment WITH brakes, DO NOT tow equipment: at speeds over 40 km/h (25 miles/hour), that, when fully loaded, weighs more than 4.5 times the weight of the towing unit.

NOTE: Tractor requires correct trailer braking equipment be installed and connected to the equipment. Stopping distance increases with speed and weight of towed loads, and on hills and sl opes. T owed loads with or without brakes that are too heavy for the tractor or aretowed too fast can cause loss of control. Consider the total weight of the equipment and its load.

Road transport BEFORE operating your tractor on a public road, a

number of precautions must be taken.

*Familiarize yourself with - and obey - all laws appropriate to your tractor. *Lock your brake pedals together. *Raise all implements to their transport position and lock them in place. *Place all implements into their narrowest transport configuration. *Disengage the PTO and differential lock. *Make sure any required clearance flags or hazard lights are in place and in working order. *Make sure you use a proper hitch pin with a clip retainer. *Clean all reflectors and road lights, front and rear, and be certain they are in working order.

Page 19

Safety Notes

410/420/430 - 001 8903 U1 UZEL

*Make sure tractor and equipment are equipped with Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) (Fig. 22) signs and beacon warning lamp.

Rules of the road

WHEN operating your tractor on a public road a number of precautions must be taken.

WARNING: DO NOT allow any

passengers on the tractor or towed

equipment.

*Know the route you are going to travel. *Use flashing lights or beacon when travelling on roads, day or night, unless prohibited by law. *Use caution when towing a load at transport speeds especially if the towed equipment is NOT equipped with brakes. Observe all local or national regulations regarding the road speed of your tractor. *Use extreme caution when transporting on snowcovered or slippery roads. *Wait for traffic to clear before entering a public road. *Beware of blind in tersections. Slow down until you have a clear view. *DO NOT attempt to pass at any intersection. *Slow down for turns and curves. *Make wide, gentle turns. *Signal your intent to slow, stop or turn. *Shift to a lower gear before going up or down hills. *Keep tractor in gear. DO NOT coast with the clutch disengaged or transmission in neutral. *Stay out of the path of oncoming traffic. *Drive in your correct lane keeping as near to the curb as possible. *If traffic builds up behind you, pull off the road and let it go by. *Drive defensively. Anticipate what other drivers might do. *When towing a load, start braking sooner than normal and slow down gradually. *Watch out for overhead obstructions. *Make sure that the load does not obscure warning, any other lights, or the SMV (Fig. 22).

After operation

When stopping at any time, bring the tractor to a complete halt, apply the parking brake, disengage the PTO, place all gear shift levers in neutral, lower the implement to the ground, stop the engine and remove the key BEFORE leaving the seat.

Fig. 22

DANGER: reverse shuttle: Always place transmission control lever in neutral and engage handbrake before leaving operator's seat. Remove "START" key

if unit is to be left unattended.

4. Brake pedals

WARNING: ALWAYS latch the pedals together when not being used for turning and close maneuvering. A

rollover could result in personal injury.

The foot brake system is mechanically operated. The two pedals (2,Fig. 30) can be used independently to aid turning in confined spaces or can be latched (1) together to provide a master pedal for normal braking. For independent brakes, disengage the latch. The inner pedal will then act on the left-hand wheel and the outer pedal will act on the right-hand wheel. For details of operation.

5. Differential lock pedal

The differential lock (2, Fig. 31) mechanically locks the rear axle shafts together so that both wheels turn together. This is an especially important aid when operating in muddy conditions as it provides increased traction and prevents needless tire wear. For details of operation.

6. Hydraulic control quadrant

These levers (1, Fig.31) control the action of the tractor linkage. For details of the hydraulic control quadrant operation see Operation section.

7. Power take-off control lever

To engage the live Power Take-off depress the clutch pedal fully and move the lever backwards (forwards on four wheel drive tractors with IPTO). To disengage the drive, depress the clutch pedal fully and move the lever to the central, neutral position. For details of operation see Operation section.

NOTE: Tractors are fitted with a neutral start switch that operates in conjunction with the Power T ake- off lever: The Power Take-off lever must be placed in the neutral position to engage the switch before the engine can be started.

8. Parking brake lever

1. Ensure that the parking brake is engaged.

2. To engage the neutral start switches, move all the gear shift levers and the PTO engagement shift lever to the NEUTRAL position. Then put all the auxiliary hydraulic control levers in their neutral positions. Move the hydraulic quadrant levers to the DOWN position.

3. The governor control needs to be in the LOW IDLE position if the temperature is below 0°C (32°F)

4. Turn the starter switch to the third position clockwise (pre-heat) and hold it there for 6 seconds until the glow plug indicator light illuminates. This will activate the glow plugs and aid in the starting of the engine.

5. While the glow plug indicator light is illuminated, depress the clutch pedal and turn the key to the fourth position clockwise (start) to engage the starter.

6. When the engine starts, release the engine start switch key

7. If the engine fails to start within 15 seconds, return the key to the (pre-heat) position for a further seconds.

IMPORTANT: If the engine fails to start, ensure that the starter motor pinion is at rest before re-engaging the starter motor. Damage to the starter motor could occur.

8. Re-engage the starter by moving the key to the (start) position.

9. When the engine starts, allow the engine to idle for three to five minutes, or allow the engine to idle until the water temperature indicator begins to rise. The engine should run at low idle smoothly until speed is gradually increased to high idle. Allow the white smoke to disperse before proceeding with normal operation.

Starting the tractor with jump leads

DANGER: Operate the starter motor

only from the operator's seat. If the

key-switch is bypassed the engine may

be started inadvertently with the

transmission in gear.

CAUTION: Wear eye protection when

charging the battery or starting the

engine with a slave battery.

If the tractor has a discharged battery, (A,Fig. 44) it can be started with either a slave battery (B) or the battery of another vehicle. Follow the procedure described below.

1. DO NOT use a slave battery of more than 12 volts.

2. DO NOT connect across the terminals on the starter motor.

3. Access the battery in front of the radiator.

4. Connect one end of one jump lead to the slave battery positive (+) terminal (1) and the other to the tractor battery positive (+) terminal (2).

5. Connect one end of the other jump lead to the slave battery negative (-) terminal (3) and the other end to the tractor engine block (4).

6. Follow the starting procedure previously described.

Towing to start the engine

If the tractor has a discharged battery, it is not possible to start the engine by towing.

NOTE: The battery must have sufficient charge to overcome the engine stop solenoid.

Stopping the engine

1. Close the throttle and apply the parking brake.

2. Put the gearshift levers in NEUTRAL.

3. Ensure that the PTO engagement lever is in the DISENGAGED position.

4. Lower the hydraulic equipment to the ground.

5. Turn the key to the STOP position, and the engine will stop.

Running-in

A gradual running in of a new engine is not necessary. Prolonged operation with light loads during the early life of the engine is not recommended. DO NOT operate the engine at high speeds without a load. The following precautions should be taken during the running-in period:

1. Experience has shown that the first 50 hours of tractor operation have a significant effect on the performance and life of the engine. From new, the tractor should be engaged in work which will load the engine as near as possible to full working conditions.

2. Use low gear when pulling heavy loads.

3. During the running-in period, check frequently the tightness of all screws, bolts, nuts, etc.

4. To ensure proper clutch life, care must be taken to bed-in the friction plates properly. During the first 50 hours a careful watch must be kept on the clutch pedal free travel, which should be adjusted as soon as the pedal travel decreases.

Use of the travel speed chart

A typical travel speed chart is illustrated in (Fig. 46&47). The following instructions should be applied to the chart on the instrument panel or fixed to the tractor. Used in conjunction with the tachometer, the travel speed chart performs two basic functions:

1. Checking the tractor ground speed when traveling in a speed limited area.

2. Establishing the correct gear and engine speed at which to operate in order to comply with the requirements of certain PTO driven implements, e.g. spinner broadcasters or sprayers, etc.

To read the travel speed chart:

1. The bold horizontal bars on the chart represent the ground speed range in each gear, between the two engine speeds given in the inset below the tractor.

2. The small inverted arrow in the horizontal bar indicates the point within each ground speed range at which the PTO shaft will be operating at 540 rpm (engine set at 1685 rpm). This can be related to the road speed in kph or mph at the top and bottom of the chart.

3. The numbers on the left of the chart are the gear ranges, 1st to 4th in the low range, 5th to 8th in the high range.

4. The information in the box gives the engine operating speed range, in this example, 1500 to 2250 rpm. The 540 pto engine speed is 1685 rpm for Live PTO. If the tractor has IPTO, the engine speed is 1789 rpm for the 540 pto speed.

5. Example of use: Require 540 PTO speed at 8 kph (5 mph) road speed. Set engine speed to 1685 rpm, on the chart select the horizontal bar where the small inverted arrow is opposite, or close to the 8 kph (5 mph) road speed, in this case it is the bar for 5th gear.

NOTE: Refer to the speed chart on your tractor for the correct gear and speed range.

Operation

Operating the tractor

WARNING: Before operating the tractor ,

familiarize yourself with the function

of the brakes, clutch, transmission,

PTO, differential lock and engine stop control.

Towing

CAUTION: When the engine is stopped,

hydraulic power assistance to the

steering does not operate. The tractor

can be steered manually. In this

situation the tractor must be moved

slowly, with caution, DO NOT exceed 3 kph.

Before towing the tractor, move the PTO lever, and all gear levers into neutral. The towing speed must not exceed 3 kph.

Driving in deep water

If the tractor is operating in water 50 mm (2 in) or less below the underside of the gearbox corrosion damage can occur to major components. See your Massey Ferguson Dealer for special water-proofing instructions, otherwise the Warranty may be invalidated.

Having started the engine

WARNING: On tractors fitted with an eight speed shuttle gearbox, before engaging the main gear lever check that the forward/reverse lever is in the central (neutral) position.

*Beware of bystanders in the area especially when reversing.

General operating advice

WARNING: Travel speed should be such that complete control and machine stability is maintained at all times. Where possible, avoid operating near ditches, embankments and holes. Reduce speed when turning, crossing slopes, and on rough, slippery or muddy surfaces.

The following operating advice is important, particularly when using a front end loader and a shuttle transmission, if you do not heed this advice it will affect the life of the main clutch:

1. DO NOT rest your foot on the clutch pedal.

2. DO NOT use the clutch as a brake.

3. DO NOT work the tractor by slipping the clutch, this can result in over heating.

4. DO NOT use the clutch to hold the tractor on hills.

5. DO NOT use too high a gear.

6. DO NOT engage the clutch at high engine speed.

7. DO NOT coast down slopes with the tractor in gear and the clutch disengaged, or with the transmission in neutral.

8. The tractor MUST come to a stop before changing direction.

410/420/430 - 001 8903 U1

UZEL

Hand and foot throttle

WARNING: For road work, close the hand throttle and only use the foot

throttle.

Operation of the foot throttle overrides the hand throttle setting when increasing engine speed. When the foot throttle is released, the engine will return to the speed set by the hand throttle. When using the foot throttle, the hand throttle must be fully closed.

1. Use the hand throttle to control the tractor speed when working in the field.

2. Never work the tractor by slipping and re-engaging the clutch, and at all times avoid riding the clutch pedal, which can cause overheating and lead to total clutch failure.

3. The use of flotation aids such as cage wheels or strakes, particularly in low gear, must be avoided.

4. DO NOT move either the gear lever (except synchromesh) or the dual range selector lever when the tractor is moving.

5. Never coast down slopes with the tractor in gear and the clutch disengaged, or with the transmission in neutral.

Clutch pedal operation

The clutch release systems have a very light actuation to benefit the operator. Operators must NOT rest their foot on the pedal as clutch slip is soon induced. The clutch pedal is used to temporarily disengage the drive. The operator must use the clutch pedal as follows:

1. When starting the engine in cold weather.

2. To start the tractor moving from stationary.

3. To select DIRECTION.

4. To engage the PTO (standard PTO only).

IMPORTANT: DO NOT ride the clutch pedal when the transmission is under load. Release the clutch pedal completely for improved clutch service life. Always push the pedal down to disengage the transmission when making a quick stop.

Selecting the correct gear

Select the gear which will give the best fuel consumption without overloading the engine or transmission. Also remember that ground conditions in the same field may vary almost every few meters, therefore, select the gear in which the engine will operate satisfactorily at just three-quarters maximum power. The dual range selector lever, (2,Fig. 48) provides the working and transport ranges for the tractor as follows: H - High - Transport range. Key symbol - Neutral - Start. L - Low - Work range.

8 x 2 Syncromesh Gearbox - 410

The main gear lever (1,Fig. 48) provides the operating gears within the range selected. The range lever on the right (2) selects the range, forwards for LOW (L) and backwards for HIGH (H) range.

8 x 8 Shuttle Gearbox - 420/430

The main gear lever (1,Fig. 49) provides the operating gears within the range selected. The range lever on the right (2) selects the range, forwards for LOW (L) and backwards for HIGH (H) range. The shuttle lever (3) is used to change quickly between forwards and reverse. It has syncromesh on 3rd and 4th and the forward reverse shuttle

NOTE: The tractor must be stationary when changing gear.

Four-wheel drive (if fitted)

WARNING: tractors equipped with four-

wheel drive have increased traction

and can climb steeper slopes. Keep off

slopes too steep for safe operation. To

prevent rear overturns, reverse up the steeper slopes.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT operate the tractor in four wheel drive while on the road, as this leads to premature front tire wear and excessive fuel consumption.

Four-wheel drive transmission greatly improves traction and braking in all field conditions. The drive to the front wheels is designed to be engaged or disengaged with the tractor stationary or moving. The tractor is equipped with a mechanical type of engagement which can be engaged or disengaged on the move. Anticipate the need for four-wheel drive and make sure that neither rear wheel is slipping then engage or disangaged when the tractor is moving slowly. To engaged the four -wheel drive (Fig.50) push the control knob DOWN. A green light on the instrument panel will indicate engagement. To disengaged pull the control knob UP.

Brakes

WARNING: The brake pedals must

always be locked together to ensure

uniform brake application and

maximum stopping ability. Only unlock

the brakes when making sharp turns. Sharp turns must only be made at slow speeds.

CAUTION: ALWAYS apply the parking

brake when dismounting from the

tractor.

1. When the tractor is being operated for stationary work, even if only for short periods, always engage the parking brake.

2. The independent brakes may be used to assist turning when traveling very slowly. Never apply one brake when turning at high speed.

3. A standard parking brake is fitted. Ensure that it is fully released before driving away.

4. When using the tractor on the road, lock your brake pedals together using the latch.

Making sharp turns

1. Release the brake pedal latch, (1, Fig. 51)

2. Apply the brake (2) on the side to which the turn is to be made and turn the steering wheel.

3. Re-latch the brake pedals before driving on the road.

Differential lock

CAUTION: DO NOT drive on the roads,

or at high speeds anywhere with the

differential lock engaged. Steering will

be difficult for field operation. Use the

differential lock to improve traction, but release it for turning at row ends.

If a rear wheel starts to slip: To engage the differential lock (Fig. 52):

1. Fully depress the clutch pedal.

2. Push down on the differential lock pedal with your heel, this engages the differential lock.

3. Release the clutch pedal slowly, while maintaining foot pressure on the differential lock pedal.

4. To disengage the differential lock release the pedal. If the lock fails to disengage automatically, depress the clutch pedal.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT attempt to engage the differential lock with one wheel stopped and the other wheel spinning fast. DO NOT attempt to turn with the differential lock engaged.

Power take-off (PTO)

WARNING: PTO shafts and PT O driven

implements can be extremely

hazardous, observe the following

important points:

*DO NOT operate the tractor without a PTO cap fitted when not using the PTO. It protects people from injury as well as the splines from damage. *Before attaching, adjusting or working on PTO driven implements, disengage the PTO, stop the engine and remove the key. DO NOT work under raised equipment. *Before engaging a PTO driven implement and after fitting, ALWAYS carefully raise and lower the implement using Position Control, and check clearances, PTO shaft slide range and articulation. *Ensure that the PTO safety shield is in place at all times. *Ensure that all PTO driven implements have the correct guards, are in good condition and conform to current standards. *NEVER step across any driveline. *DO NOT use the tractor drawbar or the implement drawbar as a step. *NEVER use the driveline as a step. *NEVER wear loose fitting clothes. *Keep at least your height away from a rotating drive line.

There are two types of Power Take-Off (PTO) available, Direct Drive from the engine using a dual clutch and mechanical engagement (MF 410 only). The second type ( MF410/420/430 ) is an Independent Power Take -Off (IPTO) using a single split torque clutch and hydraulic engagement.

410/420/430 - 001 8903 U1

UZEL

The PTO shaft, (1,Fig. 54) at the rear of the tractor has six splines and a diameter of 35 mm (1 3/8 in) with an annular groove for positive fixing of implement couplings. A removable cap (2) protects the splines and the operator when the shaft is not in use. Reinstall the PTO shaft cover (2, Fig. 54) when not in use.

Live power take-off

The live PTO is engaged by using the dual clutch. Depressing the clutch pedal through the first stage disconnects the drive from the engine to the transmission without interrupting the operation of the PTO.

To engage live PTO:

Depress the clutch pedal fully, move the engagement lever to the rear 'A'. Set the engine speed to 1685 rpm for 540 PTO shaft speed.

To disengage live PTO:

Depress the clutch pedal fully, move the engagement lever forward to the vertical position 'B'.

Independent power take-off (IPTO)

The Independent Power Take-off (IPTO) (Fig. 55) allows the operator to engage and disengage the PTO without using the engine clutch and independent of the transmission. When operating the engagement lever, DO NOT engage at engine speeds over 1600 rpm. Ensure that the IPTO clutch is either fully engaged, or fully disengaged. Partial engagement, or slow engagement can cause damage to the internal components.

To engage IPTO:

Move the engagement lever back to position 'A'. Set the engine speed to 1789 rpm for 540 rpm PTO shaft speed.

To disengage the IPTO:

Move the lever forward to the vertical position 'B'. Attaching to the PTO shaft

1. Unscrew and remove the PTO cap and store it in the tool box for future use.

2. Attach the PTO shaft to the splined shaft on the tractor. Ensure that the locking device has securely retained the shaft.

3. Ensure that all the guards are in place. A slot (1) is provided in the top of the PTO guard to enable the driveline shield to be bolted to the tractor when pulltype PTO driven equipment is being used. A hole (2) is also provided for the PTO driveline shield chain.

4. If PTO driven equipment is connected to the swinging drawbar, the drawbar must be set so that the horizontal distance 'A' between the end of the PTO shaft and the pin hole in the end of the drawbar is 356 mm, (14 in) if using the six spline 540 rev/min shaft.

Hydraulic lift system

WARNING: Before operating any of the

controls ensure that all bystanders are

clear of the tractor and its implements.

The Ferguson hydraulic system combines the tractor and implement into one unit with the implement hydraulically controlled. This system has the following controls: Draft control, (1,Fig. 58) operates in the Yellow (Draft) range of the quadrant and is used to control the working depth of soil-engaging implements. The further the lever is moved to the DOWN position, the deeper the implement will tend to penetrate the ground and, conversely, the nearer the lever is to the UP mark, the shallower the implement will tend to work. Position control, (2) operates on the Red (Position and Transport) and Blue (Constant Pumping) range of the quadrant. The Red sector is used to control the working height of implements above the ground. When the lever is in the Blue sector, the tractor's lift pump hydraulic power can be used to operate a hydraulic tipping trailer, simple front end loader, low power hydraulic motor or auxiliary hydraulic control valve. It can also supplement the auxiliary system to give additional speed. The quadrant has a stop to prevent inadvertent location in constant pumping. Push the control lever slightly outward and then select the constant pumping position. Adjustable stops, hand knobs (3) lock the adjustable stop in place when the desired working depth or height is reached.

Response control

This control (Fig. 59, 1) is used to control the rate of drop of the lower links and the attached implement. Rotate the knob counterclockwise (-) for slow, and clockwise (+) for fast.

NOTE: The control is very sensitive, move slowly and a little at a time.

Creeper gearbox (optional for MF 410/420/430)

The creeper gearbox is located between the transmission and the rear axle housing. It gives the option of reducing the speed of the tractor in the ratio of 4:1, beside allowing the use of normal speeds. The creeper gearbox offers double the number of speeds in forward and reverse. The operating lever, located in the middle of the gearbox cover permits engagement of the creeper gearbox or use of the normal transmission. The tractor must be stopped with the clutch fully depressed in order to move the lever. Move the lever forward to the HARE position (Fig.

57) to the position where the creeper gearbox is disengaged and the tractor speeds are normal. Move the lever rearwards through neutral to the TORTOISE position for engagement of the creeper gearbox and the provision of very low speeds. Implements requiring the use of a creeper gearbox are those used for planting, transplanting and drainage operations.

Auxiliary control valve (if fitted)

The control valves and levers are located on the right-hand side of the seat (Fig. 64). The levers (1,

2) operate the control valves on the rear of the tractor. Each valve has a control spindle for the selection of single- or double-acting operation. It is used on equipment requiring the use of hydraulic controls using single- or double-acting hydraulic rams and low input hydraulic motors. Hydraulic self-sealing, quick-release, couplers are situated at the rear of the tractor (Fig. 65). Hydraulic hoses can be coupled or uncoupled, without any loss of oil. A decal is positioned near the quick-release couplers which shows the numbered connectors which correspond to the control lever movements. Before attaching the hoses be sure that the quickrelease couplers and hose ends are clean and free from dirt. To connect, push the implement hose connector into the quick-release coupler. To disconnect, with the engine stopped, relieve any pressure by operating the control levers through their entire range at least twice. Push the coupler slightly into the connector and then pull out quickly. The couplers will automatically uncouple and seal, preventing any loss of oil. After disconnecting, put protective covers (4, Fig. 65) on all hose connectors to prevent dirt getting in.

NOTE: If the implement accidently becomes disconnected from the tractor the hoses will automatically uncouple, preventing damage to the hoses.

Auxiliary hydraulic control valve sections

The tractor is normally fitted with two spring return valve section, they are spring loaded so they automatically return to the neutral position when released. Each valve section, (Fig. 66) has a control spindle (3) at the base of the section for the selection of single- or double-acting cylinders. Screw IN for double acting cylinders, screw OUT for single acting cylinders.

Operation - single-acting rams

To operate single-acting rams, screw the control spindle (3,Fig. 66) fully out, and use only the coupler marked(1, Fig. 65). Ensure that the implement hoses are correctly connected to the tractor couplers. Refer to the appropriate implement Operator Instruction Book. To extend the ram, pull the lever back. To retract the ram, push the lever forwards.

Operation - double-acting rams

To operate double-acting rams, screw the control spindle (3,Fig. 66) fully in, and attach the hose from the side of the ram which causes it to extend, to the coupler marked (1, Fig. 65) and the return hose to the coupler marked (2). To extend the ram, pull the lever back. T o retract the ram, push the lever forwards.

Operation - hydraulic motors

Although the standard valve section is not specifically designed for use with hydraulic motors, these valves can be used satisfactorily, if the following points are observed.

1. Always connect the motor feed to the coupler (1 or 2, Fig. 65).

2. NEVER connect the motor return to the quickrelease couplers. Contact your Massey Ferguson Dealer when fitting a hydraulic motor to ensure that the hydraulic circuit is completely satisfactory and the return line is connected directly to the transmission case.

NOTE: A special control valve section is available for use with hydraulic motors. For details of this and other specialized control valves contact your Massey Ferguson Dealer.

When in use the linkage cannot be raised or lowered.

Operating a front end loader

When operating a front end loader using the tractor auxiliary hydraulic control valve fitted with a detent system, great care must be taken to prevent the load rolling down the lift arms when fully raised. The detent system holds the control lever in either the UP or DOWN position until the hydraulic cylinder is either fully extended or closed. A lever partially pulled back will return to neutral automatically when released. Observe the following operational points:

1. Keep your hand on the control valve lever during the lifting operation, ready to select neutral when the correct height is attained.

2. Observe the load and position of the lift arms at all times.

3. Only select the detent position when the type of maneuver requires it.

4. Observe the following warning:

WARNING: When using the hydraulics

to operate a front end loader (bucket

or forks) it must be equipped with a

suitable restraining device to prevent

the load (hay bales, fence posts, rolls

of fence wire, etc.) from rolling down the lift arms into the operator's compartment and crushing the driver. The ROPS frame is not designed or intended to protect the operator from loads falling down the lift arms.

Using implements requiring large volumes of oil

Implements with large cylinders can remove substantial volumes of hydraulic oil from the transmission/hydraulic system of the tractor. Carry out the following procedure:

1. Cycle all implement cylinders after starting the tractor.

2. Check the transmission/hydraulic oil level, (see Maintenance section); ensure that the level is up to the 'MAX' mark on the dip stick.

3. Check the transmission/hydraulic oil level Daily or Every 10 Hours.

Lifting linkage

The lower links, (4,Fig. 66) absorb most of the load exerted by a mounted, or semi-mounted implement. The links are raised and lowered by the action of the lift arms.The lift arms are connected to the lift rods (3) and (6) which couple the lift arms to the lower links (4). The lower links are ball jointed to allow the implement to float sideways slightly when operating, but excessive sideplay which would allow the implement to contact the rear tires is prevented by the lower link stabizers (2).

The right-hand lift rod (6) can be adjusted for length to facilitate the fitting of implements, or leveling the implement to allow the tractor to work at a different angle in relation to the ground. The leveling lever (7) is used to screw or unscrew the upper and lower components of the lift rod to adjust the length.

Top link

WARNING: DO NOT, in any circumstances, attempt to pull or tow from the top link connection. DO NOT

operate the tractor with the threads showing.

The top link, (1,Fig. 66) length is adjusted by turning the sleeve. The latch must be pulled back before the sleeve can be turned. The top link is adjusted when the implement is fitted to give the correct operating angle. When transporting the tractor, hook the link into the raised position using the stowage hook.

Lift rod length

The lift rod, (3) must be set to the correct length to obtain the optimum implement depth and maximum transport height. The left-hand lift rod length (dimension 'A' ) is set at the factory to 573 mm (22.56 in). For normal lift height, fit the linkage as shown in (Fig.66). If an implement is fitted which requires a higher lift capacity, the lift rods can be relocated in an alternative hole, (5). This latter position reduces the operating arc of the lower link end.

NOTE: The lift rod bolts must always be adjusted so that they can rotate. The bolts must also be through the corresponding holes in both lower link arms.

When fitting implements to the lower links, always fit the left-hand link first and use the levelling lever, as necessary, to assist in the fitting of the right -hand link. The maximum recommended lift load for normal working is 1415 kg .

Interchangeable ball ends

To change ball ends (Fig. 67) from Category 1 to Category 2 or vice versa, proceed as follows:

1. Pull the spring clip upwards, as shown.

2. Rotate the ball until the narrow section aligns with the slot in the lower link, then remove the ball. The ball comes out from one side only.

3. Fit the new ball by locating it with the narrow section in line with the slot, then refit the spring clip as shown.

NOTE: Always ensure that with the implement fitted the linkage can travel through its full range without straining the stabilizers.

CAUTION: When servicing or adjusting

implements mounted on the 3 -point

linkage in the raised position, observe

the following precautions:

*The implement must be supported on a stand or other suitable blocking to support the implement at all times. *Ensure that the stand and tractor are on firm level ground. *Never use concrete blocks, bricks or old rotted timbers for support. They collapse - even under light loads. *DO NOT work under any implement supported on a jack.

NOTE: Always ensure that with the implement fitted the linkage can travel through its full range without straining the stabilizers.

Stabilizers

The stabilizers (Fig. 68) will control the sway of the lower links and attached equipment when in work or being transported. This is especially important when operating on slopes or near fences, walls or ditches and with certain implements. Check your Implement Operator Instruction Book. Once fitted the stabilizers need not be removed from the tractor, but to ensure easy and efficient operation the following points must be observed:

1. Check chains must be removed when the stabilizers are fitted.

2. Ensure that the stabilizers have sideways movement when the links are fully raised.

Stabilizer adjustment:

1. For fine adjustment (Fig. 68). Rotate the turnbuckle(1) as required.

2. For coarse adjustment, remove the lock pin (2) and lengthen or shorten the stabilizer as required. Replace the lock pin.

Attaching an implement

WARNING: If two people are involved in attaching an implement, great care

must be taken. When making any adjustment to the hydraulic lift system the person in the area of the linkage must stand clear.

1. Place the Draft Control Lever in the fully raised position.

2. Lower the links using Position Control, back the

tractor up to the implement, raise the lower links so that the left-hand link is in line with the pin on the implement.

3. Apply the parking brake before dismounting from

the tractor.

4. Fit the left-hand lower link first and secure with a

lynch-pin. If any small up and down adjustments of the lower links are necessary they must be made from the driver's seat.

5. Attach the right-hand lower link to the implement. Use the leveling lever if necessary to adjust the height of the link, then fit the lynch-pin.

6. Attach the top link to the hitch point on the tractor (Fig. 69).

On implements which have variable top and bottom attachment points, the linkage should be connected in accordance with the dimensions given in Table 1 depending on the category of linkage used (Fig. 70).

With heavy implements this will reduce unnecessary strain on the tractor and loss of lift capacity. Some implements have two or more optional positions for the lower links. Providing the implement will penetrate to the required depth, reasonably rapidly, it is usually best to use the lowest pick-up point provided. This will give the maximum weight transfer, minimize hydraulic system pressure and power losses. Also giving maximum transport height and allowing the use of the correct 'A' frame height setting on the implements.

7. If the leveling lever was used to facilitate the attachment of the right-hand lower link, adjust the right-hand lift rod to its normal operating length by screwing the lift rod in or out until the implement is level.

8. Adjust the top link as necessary to level the implement

9. Adjust the length of the stabilizer (Fig. 68).

10. Connect the implement to the PTO shaft, if required, and attach guards (see page 43).

11. Raise and lower the implement, checking clearances and general operation.

Detaching an implement

WARNING: If two people are involved

in detaching an implement, great care

must be taken. When making any

adjustment to the hydraulic lift system the person in the area of the linkage must stand clear.

1. Select a level area as this will make detaching

much easier.

2. Lower the implement using Position Control (see

page 45), or where necessary, raise the implement to fix parking stands in position then lower the implement to the ground

3. Stop the engine and apply the parking brake before dismounting from the tractor.

4. Unscrew the top link to remove the weight of the implement and remove the pivot pin. Stow the lynchpin, and then stow the top link in its clip.

5. Detach the lower links and stow the lynch-pins in

the links in the stowage points provided.

6. Open up the PTO shield and the shaft.

7. Disconnect hydraulic hoses and cap the ends.

Replace the dust caps on the control valve couplings.

8. Start the engine and drive the tractor forward

before returning the Position Control to the 'Transport'' position.

Pressure relief valve

Avoid using the tractor hydraulic system in any way which may cause the pressure relief valve (which is internal), to discharge continually. This can be caused by attempting to raise a load at the lower links, greater than that which the system is capable of lifting. Although the relief valve will prevent damage to other parts of the hydraulic system, unnecessary discharge must be avoided, as damage to the relief valve may result in over heating the system and a reduction in the maximum hydraulic pressure.

Safety chains

When towing implements on the highway, use a safety chain (Fig. 71) with a tensile strength equal to or greater than the gross weight of the implement to be towed by the tractor. This will control and retain the implement in the event that the hitch pin is lost. After attaching the safety chain, make a trial run by driving the tractor to the right and to the left for a short distance to check the safety chain adjustment. If necessary, readjust to eliminate tight or loose chain.

To and from the drawbar

WARNING: A rear turn-over can result

if pulling from the wrong location on

the tractor. Hitch only from the drawbar .

Use the 3-point linkage only with implements designed for its use, NOT as a drawbar.

IMPORTANT: Follow the implement manufacturer's recommendations in adjusting and aligning the implement and implement driveline with the tractor. The swinging drawbar may be fixed in any of a number of positions or allowed to swing the full width of the hanger. Fasten the drawbar in position using the swing-limiting pins when pulling implements which require accurate positioning and when transporting on the road. If both tractor and implement are equipped with a drawbar clevis, remove the clevis from the tractor or implement. DO NOT put a long drawbar pin through both the implement clevis and the drawbar clevis. Allow the drawbar to swing when pulling ground engaging implements which do not require accurate positioning. This will make steering and turning easier. When connecting implements that are towed, use the correct drawbar pin and lynch-pin, or, use a hard steel pin and hold in place with a lock pin or cotter pin. Make sure that the drawbar pin does not make contact with the PTO driveline. When working with the drawbar, raise the lift arms to the transport position. When working with the PTO, set the drawbar to the center position, lock in this position using the swing limiting pins.

Swinging drawbar

This type of swinging drawbar (Fig. 72) cannot be converted for use with an automatic trailer hitch.

WARNING: The drawbar must be

correctly set for the implement being

towed.

*DO NOT connect a tractor clevis to an implement clevis as this will strain the drawbar pin. Remove the bolt-on clevis from the tractor drawbar to ensure a satisfactory hitch. *Always secure the drawbar to prevent swinging when transporting equipment or when operating anything but ground engaging equipment. *Always use the correct drawbar pin with a securing device to prevent the pin coming out during operation. *DO NOT exceed the maximum static downward loads as shown in the chart below.

Fig. 72 The drawbar can swing or can be held at fixed

positions by relocating the stop pins in the drawbar support frame.The drawbar can be inverted and the clevis attachment bolted on either side to suit pick up points of various implements (Fig. 73). There are three length positions for the drawbar.

Front-mounted weight frame (if fitted)

The front-mounted weight frame (Fig. 76) is bolted to the front support casting. A maximum of eight 27 kg (60 lb) weights can be fitted. A towing hitch hole and pin are provided in the open center of the frame.

Attaching the weights

1. Hook the top of the weight over the weight frame with the base of the weight tilted outwards. Lower the weight.

2. Secure the weight in place with the bolt.

Roll-over protective structure (ROPS)

The ROPS frame is designed to give protection to the driver in the event of a roll-over. The 'fold-down' frame can be folded down for transport on a truck, or the tractor functionally used with the frame down for low clearance situations such as orchards, vineyards, barns and chicken houses etc. When the ROPS frame is in the lowered position the seat belt must NOT be worn. Drive with extra care. In this position roll over protection is not provided. The ROPS frame MUST be maintained in its fully raised position at all times unless practical operations of the tractor dictates otherwise as described above. After raising the ROPS frame into its fully erected position, lock it immediately. The seatbelt MUST be worn. If the ROPS frame is damaged during operation:

DO NOT - weld, drill, bend or straighten. DO NOT - use the tractor with a damaged frame.

Also observe the following: DO NOT - attach chains, ropes or cables to the ROPS frame for pulling purposes, always pull from the tractor drawbar. DO - ensure that the frame is securely fastened to the tractor. DO - ensure that all components are in correct working order in order to provide the intended protection. DO - use only original Massey Ferguson supplied parts to maintain structural integrity.

WARNING: The following additional

safety precautions must be strictly

observed:

*Use a seat belt at all times unless the frame is down, and keep it snugly adjusted. *If the tractor is overturning, hold on to the steering wheel. DO NOT attempt to jump clear. If the ROPS frame is down, abandon the tractor immediately. *Ensure that the safety signs are located on the frame at all times and that their instructions are observed. *If a sun canopy is fitted, it does not provide the operator with protection from falling objects.

Field fold-down ROPS frame

To fold down and erect the frame (Fig. 77) proceed as follows:

1. Remove the two lynch-pins.

2. Hold the frame steady and withdraw both locking pins.

3. Using extreme care (the upper frame is heavy) and standing to one side, fold the frame down to the rear. DO NOT let it fall freely.

4. DO NOT allow the frame to strike any parts of the

tractor; for example, rear work light, top link etc.

5. To erect the frame, reverse the procedure ensuring

that your hands are kept away from hinged parts.

Preliminary service inspection

When your new Massey Ferguson tractor has completed 50 hours work a Service Inspection is recommended to be undertaken by your Dealer. This involves a complete check of the tractor, routine adjustments, checking oil levels and changing the engine oil to remove factory fill oil and filter. Full details will be found in the Tractor Service Record Book.

IMPORTANT: A charge will be made for any filter elements and lubricants used. Labor charges will be at the discretion of your Dealer.

Please contact your Massey Ferguson Dealer to agree a convenient time when this work can be carried out. We strongly recommend you take advantage of this postdelivery inspection and also be present when the service is carried out. This will provide an opportunity to discuss any operational problems with the Service Technician.

Routine service

This section gives full details of the service procedures necessary to maintain your tractor in peak efficiency . Also information on how to make the adjustments required in setting up the tractor for work. In order to obtain the best results, it is important that the tractor has regular preventive maintenance. It is recommended that the major services (500 and 1000 hour) are conducted by your local Massey Ferguson Dealer under the Massey Ferguson Recommended Service Program. It must be remembered that the responsibility for maintaining your tractor in a safe and roadworthy condition rests with you, the owner. Service the tractor at the intervals shown in the following pages. Use only high quality lubricants when servicing. It is a recommendation that maintenance is done under cover, and at the end of an operating period so that the oils are warm and drain easily.

*Before using a grease gun, clean the grease fittings. *Before removing drain and filler plugs, clean the area around the plug and cap. *Always use a clean container for fresh oil or diesel.

Flexible maintenance

The term 'Flexible Maintenance' is used in this publication to indicate a variable service period. Flexible maintenance times vary according to individual conditions of operation. You must establish your own times for servicing flexible items. An average interval time for checking is at fuel fill.

Protect the environment

It is illegal to pollute drains, water courses or soil. Use authorized waste disposal facilities, including civic amenity sites and companies providing facilities for providing facilities for receipt of used oil. If in doubt, contact your local authority for advice.

Fig. 79

Hourmeter

The engine hourmeter (Fig. 79) shows the hours the tractor has worked at 1500 rpm average. Use the hourmeter to service the tractor at the correct periods.

Safety in servicing

WARNING: When changing oil it is important to follow some basic rules on personal hygiene, these are as

follows:

*Before changing the oil use a suitable barrier cream on your hands. *Wear protective clothing, overalls, PVC gloves etc. *Wash off dirty oil with soap and water as soon as you have finished changing the oil. Contaminated clothing must be removed and cleaned. *Prolonged contact with dirty oil may affect your health, therefore it is important that you follow the above instructions. *DO NOT service the tractor with the engine running. *Keep hands, tools and items of clothing clear of all moving parts. Avoid skin contact with the exhaust pipe and manifold. They may be hot and will burn you. *Keep children and pets clear of the tractor. DO NOT allow anyone on the tractor unless specifically working to your instructions. *DO NOT work beneath the tractor with a lifting jack as the only support. Place suitable stands under the tractor as a safety precaution. *Provide facilities for receipt of used oil. If in doubt, contact your local authority for advice.

Engine oil

Engine oil level Check the engine oil level - flexible maintenance. Check the oil level before starting work each day. If the engine has been running, stop the engine and allow the oil to drain back into the sump. Check the oil level with the dipstick (Fig. 85). If necessary, remove the oil filler cap and top up with fresh oil of the correct grade. To raise the oil level from minimum to maximum it requires 1,5 liter (2 US pts). The oil level must be maintained between the 'MIN' and 'MAX' marks on the dipstick with the tractor standing on level ground.

Changing the engine oil Change the engine oil at first 50 hours, then 250 hours thereafter.

1. With the tractor standing on level ground, place a drain pan beneath the engine sump, then remove the engine sump plug (Fig. 86).

2. Allow the old engine oil to drain out completely.

3. Refit the drain plug and tighten securely

4. Change the engine oil filter.

5. Refill the sump with an approved oil, so that the oil level is between the 'MIN' and 'MAX' marks on the dipstick.

NOTE: Run the engine to circulate the oil and check for leakage. Time must then be allowed for the oil to settle in the sump before rechecking the level. Top up if necessary.

Engine oil filter Change the engine oil filter at first 50 hours, then 250 hours thereafter. The picture of the filter element (Fig. 85) shows a typical installation with a horizontal filter. On some tractors the filter is vertical. The change procedure is identical.

1. Put a drain pan under the filter to retain spilled oil.

2. Remove the filter canister (Fig. 85) with a strap wrench or similar tool. Ensure that the threaded adaptor is secure in the filter head. Then discard the canister.

3. Clean the filter head .

4. Smear a few drops of clean engine oil on the sealing ring .

5. Fit the new canister and tighten by hand only. DO NOT use a strap wrench.

6. To fill the oil filter with oil, ensure that there is oil in the sump. Turn the engine over with the starter motor until the oil pressure warning goes out.

NOTE: Run the engine to circulate the oil and check for leakage. Time must then be allowed for the oil to settle in the sump before rechecking the level. Top up if necessary.

Removing air from the fuel system

If at any time air enters the fuel system, either due to fuel system servicing, running out of fuel, tractor standing idle for a considerable time or difficulty with starting, the following procedure must be used to remove air from the system:

NOTE: If air removal temporarily eliminates the problem, but it occurs again, you must fully check and test all fuel lines and connections. Loose fuel connections and gasket surfaces, or damaged fuel lines, can allow air to enter the system without showing any apparent leakage.

1. Remove the cover for the fuel injectors (Fig. 90). Refer to the Disassembly and assembly Manual.

2. Turn the key switch to the RUN position. Leave the key switch in the RUN position for three minutes.

3. Turn the key switch to the OFF position.

NOTE: Damage to the fuel injection pump, to the battery, and to the starter motor can occur if the starter motor is used excessively to purge the air from the fuel system.

4. Loosen the flare nuts ( 1 ) for the high pressure fuel lines on all of the fuel injectors.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT crank the engine continuously for more than 30 seconds. Allow the starting motor to cool for two minutes before cranking the engine again.

5. Observe the connection at the flare nut. Operate the starting motor and crank the engine until the fuel is free of air.

6. Tighten the flare nuts ( 1 ) to a torque of 30 Nm.

7. The engine is now ready to start. Operate the engine at low idle for a minimum of five minutes immediately after air has been removed from the fuel system.

NOTE: Running the engine for this period of time will help ensure that the pump is completely free of air.

Air cleaner

Dry air cleaner (unloader valve) Check the unloader valve - Flexible maintenance. If the tractor is not fitted with an air pre-cleaner check the unloader valve (1,Fig. 93). Squeeze the valve with the fingers to release the accumulated dust. Clean the MAIN element - Flexible maintenance or when the indicator light comes on. Change the MAIN element every 1000 hours or sooner if it is determined unfit for service.

CAUTION: Never use petrol (gasoline), paraffin or cleaning solvents to clean the elements.

*DO NOT attempt to blow the main element clean using the tractor exhaust gases. *DO NOT attempt to clean the inner secondary element. *NEVER add oil to a dry air cleaner. *If servicing is not carried out when the indicator light comes on the engine will lose power and

damage could be caused. If the air cleaner indicator light comes on when the engine is running, stop the engine and service the air cleaner. To remove filter: Pull open front grill and remove wing nut. Pivot filter housing out, filter can now be accessed for removal (Fig. 91-92 )

1. Unscrew the central wing nut (Fig. 93) and withdraw the main outer element (2).

2. If dust is present inside the outer element, it must be renewed. If satisfactory, clean the element by tapping both ends on the palm of the hand (Fig. 94). DO NOT tap the element against a hard surface as it will become damaged or distorted.

3. Alternatively, to remove dust, compressed air (Fig.

95), not exceeding 7 bar (100 psi) may be used. Insert the air line nozzle inside the element and blow the dust from the inside to the outside. Blow loose particles from the outside of the element by holding the nozzle at least 300 mm (12 in) from the element. Protect your eyes when carrying out this operation.

4. Clean the inside of the air cleaner casing with a damp lint-free cloth and refit the outer element ensuring that the rubber sealing ring on the end is secure.

5. If the indicator light comes on after a very short interval of time, the main element is unfit for service and must be renewed. However, if after renewal of the main element, the indicator light stays on, the inner element must also be renewed - DO NOT attempt to clean it.

Inner secondary element

Change every 1000 hours or every 12 months whichever is the sooner.

The inner filter element (3,Fig. 93) is added to protect the engine should harmful particles pass through the main filter. This inner element should be changed every 1000 hours. DO NOT attempt to clean the inner element.

Cooling system

WARNING: High-pressure steam and hot water. Remove the filler cap with extreme care. DO NOT check or fill

while the engine is hot or running.

Antifreeze:

WARNING: It is very important that you read the label on the container before you add antifreeze to the cooling system. The safety precautions are as

follows:

* Keep locked up and out of reach of children. * Keep only in the original container. * Avoid contact with the skin and eyes. * Wear suitable protective clothing and gloves. * Harmful by inhalation and if swallowed. * If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show the label or container.

Coolant

Check the radiator coolant level - Flexible maintenance. DO NOT use an antifreeze solution for more than two years (or 2000 hours) of operation. The heat generated by the diesel engine causes a natural change in the inhibitors in the coolant which results in loss of corrosion protection. The loss of the inhibitors may cause water pump cavitation and cylinder block erosion.

1. To check the coolant level first remove the radiator cap slowly to allow pressure to escape. DO NOT add cold coolant to a hot system.

2. The coolant level must be maintained at 25 mm (1 in) below the filler neck. Top up with antifreeze solution of the correct strength.

Drain the cooling system every 1000 hours or two years whichever is the sooner.

1. To drain the cooling system remove the radiator cap slowly to allow any pressure to escape.

2. Remove the drain plugs at the bottom of the radiator and from the cylinder block (Fig. 96).

3. If the old coolant is very dirty, flush out the system with clean water.

4. Replace the plugs and reconnect the hose if removed. Refer to Specifications for cooling system capacities.The pre-mixing of water and antifreeze is preferred. Use clean water and a 50% antifreeze solution.

5. Run the engine for approximately five minutes to remove all air from the system.

NOTE: It is advisable to use Massey Ferguson antifreeze, it contains inhibitors to protect your engine

Frost precautions (cold climate)

Antifreeze solutions must be added to the cooling system water. Use Massey Ferguson Universal Antifreeze, available from your local Massey Ferguson Dealer. The correct proportion of coolant mixture is 50% water and 50% antifreeze. DO NOT use more than 50% antifreeze solution in the cooling system unless the ambient air temperature will be less than -36o C (-31o F). More than 50% decreases heat transfer and will cause the engine temperature to be more than normal. It should be remembered that an antifreeze solution not only prevents freezing, it also contains an anticorrosion additive that protects the cooling system. The mixing of different makes of antifreeze can lead to the loss of corrosion protection and is therefore not recommended.

IMPORTANT: If an antifreeze solution is not used during freezing weather, the coolant must be drained after work to prevent damage from freezing. Use the procedure under draining the cooling system.

Radiator

Check the radiator fins for blockage - Flexible maintenance.

The radiator fins (Fig. 97) must be checked for blockage, they can be cleaned by blowing with compressed air or a high-pressure washer not exceeding 7 bar (100 psi). First remove the battery then clean from the rear of the radiator and remove the side panels to allow debris to escape. Fins blocked with oily substances may be cleaned with a detergent solution, preferably applied with a high pressure washer. Check the coolant level and add coolant if needed. Check the hoses, radiator, and pump for leaks

NOTE: It is advisable to use Massey Ferguson antifreeze, it contains inhibitors to protect your engine.

Clutch

Main clutch adjustment

Check the clutch adjustment every 100 hours.

When the tractor enters service, or has new clutch linings fitted, the clutch must be carefully bedded in. The clutch pedal linkage must be checked frequently during the first 50 hours and necessary adjustments made immediately. Subsequent checks must be made at 100 hour intervals.

Procedure:

1. Insert a solid bar in the hole at the end of the clutch operating shaft (1,Fig. 98) and rotate it clockwise until resistance is felt.

2. Slacken the clamp bolt (2) securing the arm to the shaft and set the distance between the lever (3) and the stop plate (4) to 4 mm (0.156 in). This will give a free pedal movement of 25 mm (1 in) at the pad.

3. Retighten the clamp bolt (2). Press the clutch pedal down through its full travel five times, recheck the free travel and readjust if necessary.

Live PTO clutch

Check the clutch setting every 1000 hours.

NOTE: Tractors with IPTO and single plate clutches DO NOT require this adjustment.

Front track adjustment (four-wheel drive) NOTE: The following instruction are for wheels that

have a detachable rim and disc.

The different track widths are obtained by altering the position of the rim in relation to the disc or by reversing the wheels .

If the wheels are reversed, they must be transferred to the opposite side of the tractor so as to maintain the correct tire tread direction.

Adjustment is as follows:

1. Select the required track setting. See Fig. 116 opposite.

2. Slightly slacken either the wheel to axle, or the rim to disc nuts, or both according to the requirements.

3. Using a jack, raise the front wheels just clear of the ground and support on an axle stand.

4. Remove the rim from the disc, or the complete wheel, or both and reassemble them with the rim and disc in their new positions.

5. Oil the bolts or studs threads before fittings the nuts, then tighten to a torque of: Disc to axle hub - 270 Nm (200 lbf ft.) Rim to disc - 190 Nm (140 lbf ft.)

IMPORTANT: At the smaller track setting, a foul condition may occur between the tire and the tractor or loader, if fitted, when the wheels are turned to the full lock position.

To avoid this condition you must check by turning the wheels to full lock, swinging the axle onto both bump stops both sides, and adjusting the steering stops as necessary.

Steering stop adjustment

1. Place the jack under the engine sump and raise the tractor enough to allow the axle to swing from one stop to the other.

2. Turn the front wheels to full lock and check that the inside edge of the tire does not foul the tractor.

3. Carry out the same check on the other lock.

4. If necessary, adjust the steering stops (1, Fig 117) on both sides so that a foul condition will not occur. Tighten the lock-nuts (2) after adjustment.

CAUTION: Recheck the nut and bolt

tighteness after 10 hours(2 hours if on

loader work) re-tighten twice more at

10-hour intervals. This protects against the loosening that occurs from assemblies settling down.

Front axle adjustment (For MF 430 4WD tractor only)

Toe-in adjustment

20.11 SD model front axle with a limited slip dif ferential type is mounted on MF 430 4WD tractors.

Put two equal one-meter-long linear bars on the wheel sides and lock them with two nuts on the wheel hub stud bolt. (Fig. 118) Note: The two bars should be fixed on their middle so that they are perpendicular to the supporting surface and parallel to the pinion shaft axis; align the two bars.

Measure the distance in mm M between the bars ends with a tapeline. Note: Keep the minimum value, swinging the measurement point. Check that the difference of the measurements between the wheel hubs diameters ends is within the requested tolerance range. The nominal toe-in value (A) is referred to the external diameter of the wheel hubs flange, therefore the measured value (M) at the bars ends must be related to the ratio between length of the bar and flange diameter (Fig. 119).

If toe-in is incorrect, operate with two wrenches on the guide rods (1) screwing in and out the two joint tie rods (3) equally till the toe-in is within the requested tolerance. After adjusting, screw in the lock nuts (2) of the guide rods (1) to the requested tightening torque (Fig. 120).

Rear track adjustment - pressed steel wheels

WARNING: When changing, repairing

or transferring wheels observe the

following precautions:

*Use a jack that has adequate capacity to lift your tractor and is in good repair. *Ensure that both the tractor and jack are on firm level ground. *Use axle stands or other suitable blocking to support the tractor at all times when changing wheels and tires. *Never use concrete blocks, bricks or old rotted timbers for support. They can collapse - even under light loads. *DO NOT put any part of your body under the tractor or start the engine while the tractor is on the jack. *Tractor wheels are heavy, handle with care and ensure, when stored, that they cannot topple and cause injury. *Where tires with liquid ballast are used, a crane may be required to maneuver the wheels, due to their considerable weight.

The different track widths are obtained by altering the position of the rim in relation to the disc, or by reversing the wheels and transferring them from one side of the tractor to the other (Fig. 127). Adjustment is as follows:

1. Select the required track settings

2. Slightly slacken either the wheel to axle, or the rim to disc nuts, or both according to requirements.

3. Using a jack capable of lifting 1500 kg (3300 lb) raise the rear wheels just clear of the ground.

NOTE: If the wheels are reversed, they must be transferred to the opposite side of the tractor so as to maintain the correct tire tread direction.

4. Remove the rim from the disc or the complete wheel, or both and assemble them with the rim and disc in their new positions. Disc to Axle Hub - 325 Nm (240 lbf ft). Rim to Disc - 240 Nm (177 lbf ft).

IMPORTANT: Recheck the wheel nut and rim bolt torques after 10 hours (or 2 hours if on loader work) and then recheck, and if necessary, re-tighten twice more at ten-hourly intervals. This protects against the loosening that occurs from assemblies settling.

Track settings below 1328 mm (52 in) may not be obtainable due to insufficient clearance between wheel and inside of fender. Minimum track setting cannot be obtained on tractors fitted with wide tires.

Wheel weights

Wheel weights are available for the rear wheels, consult with your local Massey Ferguson Dealer for the correct weights for your tractor. Only sufficient weight should be added to provide traction and stability. Adding more weight than necessary results in excessive loads being imposed on the tractor and a higher fuel consumption.

Ensure that an equal amount of weights are fitted to each side of the tractor. When adding weight, adhere to the maximum tire capacity loading. The tire pressures will have to be increased to accommodate the additional weight. Consult with your Massey Ferguson Dealer or tire supplier to ensure that the loadings are not exceeded.

Rear wheel weights

Rear wheel weights (Fig. 128) are bolted to the outside of the wheel. Additional weights can be bolted to the first adaptor weight. Each weight weighs approximately 45 kg (100 lb). When fitting the first adaptor weight, ensure that the cutout in the weight aligns with the tire valve for accessibility.

Tighten the weight bolts to a torque of 80 Nm (60 lbf ft).

Tires

Check tire pressures every 100 hours or every two weeks whichever is the sooner.

WARNING: Tire tread and ply rating or

load index must match across the axle.

Do not fit a radial one side and a

crossply on the other. Check that the

tire pressures are correct for the particular operation to be performed. These simple rules, if followed carefully, will ensure maximum tire life.

Check and adjust the front and rear tire pressures and inspect the tread and side walls for damage. Check the pressure when the tires are cold (Fig.129). The correct pressure for any tire on the tractor is found by weighing the loaded axle and then referring to the load/inflation tables for that tire (see page 109).

NOTE: If the tires are ballasted with calcium chloride and/or water solution, a special tire gauge should be used as the solution will corrode the standard type of gauge.

1. The tire pressures listed, can be used without danger of sidewall rippling. In certain conditions the pressures may be lowered, where the loads are light. Higher tire pressures should be used for hillside plowing or if the tractor is to be used on the road for a length of time. DO NOT exceed the maximum recommended pressures.

2. Keep oil, grease and strong alkaline or acid fertilizers away from tires to prevent deterioration of the rubber.

3. Have any small sidewall or tread splits or cuts revulcanized as soon after they occur as possible. This extends the life of the tire.

4. If bolt-on weights are fitted, raise the pressures to suit the weight fitted, consult your Massey Ferguson Dealer.

5. Water ballasting details are quoted (see page 90) for a few of the many tire options available for these tractors. These figures are given as a guide only . For specific details for your tractor if not shown, or if you wish to change the tire sizes, see your Massey Ferguson Dealer who will have full tire range specifications and recommended pressures supplied by the tire manufacturers.

If you are unable to weigh the tractor axles to determine the correct tire inflation pressures the following guideline pressures can be used on firm surface conditions with correctly ballasted tractors.

Table 7

For front IMPLEMENT applications, front tire pressures should be increased to 1,6 bar (23 psi).For front LOADER application only, front tire pressures should be increased to 2,0 bar (30 psi).

NOTE: Note for exact inflation pressure requirement, axle loads need to be measured and the load/inflation tables need to be applied.

*For hillside operation, DO NOT use inflation pressures lower than 1 bar (15 psi). *A correctly inflated radial tire under full load should have a profile as shown (Fig. 116).

Cross-ply tires

The term 'cross-ply tires' applies to tires with bias or diagonal ply fitted to the front two-wheel drive axle or rear driven wheels. If you are unable to weigh the tractor axles to determine the correct tire inflation pressures, the following method can be adopted on firm surface conditions with correctly ballasted tractors. In the case of cross-ply tires the procedure is to check the size and ply rating and refer to load/inflation charts. For the relevant size read across the chart to the figure in brackets for the relevant ply rating - the inflation pressure indicated in the column heading is the maximum permissible and should be applied in cases where it is not possible to weigh the axle.

For LOADER application only, front tire pressures should be increased by 25%. A correctly inflated cross-ply tire under full load should have the profile shown in Fig. 130.

Load index and speed symbols

In the past the 'tire load capacity category' was indicated by a PR (Ply Rating) number. This is an indicator of the tire's carcass strength. Now a code number is used giving the exact designation of the load capacity; this is referred to as the Load Index or LI for short.

In addition to the load index, Speed Index (SI) is used to designate the 'Speed Category' of the tire. These two figures will indicate the maximum load that can be carried by the tire at a prescribed speed. Understanding the information on the tire side wall is important. The illustration (Fig. 131) shows a radial tire.

Service tires safely

DANGER: Failure to follow the correct

procedure when fitting a tire on a wheel

or rim can produce an explosion which may result in serious injury or death.

DO NOT attempt to fit a tire unless you have the proper equipment and experience to perform the job. Have the work carried out by your Massey Ferguson Dealer or a qualified repair service.

When sealing tire beads onto rims, never exceed 2,4 bar (35 psi) or the maximum inflation pressure specified by the tire manufacture for fitting tires. Inflation beyond this maximum pressure may break the bead, or even the rim, with a dangerous explosive force. If both beads are not seated when the maximum pressure is reached, deflate, reposition the tire, relubricate the bead, and re-inflate. Observe the following safety points: * Always use a safety cage if available (Fig. 132). * DO NOT re-inflate a tire that has been run flat or badly under-inflated without first removing it from the wheel and checking for damage. Any damage should be professionally repaired. * DO NOT stand over or in front of the tire. * Use a clip-on chuck and extension hose when inflating a tire and stand to one side. * DO NOT hit a rim or tire with a hammer when the assembly is inflated. * NEVER use a tube in a tire larger - or smaller than the one for which it was designed. * NEVER install tubes that have buckled or creased. * NEVER rework, weld, heat or braze damaged rims.

Water ballasting

WARNING: When mixing the ballast

solution it is imperative the calcium

chloride flakes are added to the water

and the solution stirred until the

calcium chloride is dissolved. Never add water to calcium chloride. If the flakes should contact the eyes, wash the eyes immediately with clean, COLD water for at least five minutes. See a doctor as soon as possible.

Filling the front and rear tires with liquid ballast (Fig.

133) is a convenient method of adding weight to secure more traction and reduce slippage and tread wear. Either cast wheel weights can be added or the tires can be filled with a water/antifreeze solution of 50% to 75% of the tire volume, this will ensure similar flexibility to air inflated tires. Where freezing temperatures never occur, plain water can be used, but the weight added will be less. Where antifreeze protection is needed and in view of the trend towards greater environmental awareness, the use of calcium chloride is being phased out and alternative antifreeze additives used. Charts (see Specification section) are provided in the specification section giving the weights and capacity for water and calcium chloride. All recommendations for tube tires are directly applicable to tubeless. In the case of tubeless tires it is recommended that an antifreeze solution is used in place of calcium chloride to prevent corrosion of the rim. The antifreeze solution should be a mono ethylene glycol based fluid (radiator antifreeze). Frost protection (Table 10) using Massey Ferguson antifreeze as follows:

Table 10

Mixing the solution of calcium chloride

Prepare the calcium chloride mixture in a suitable container by pouring the calcium chloride into the water (never the water into the calcium chloride, as considerable heat is generated in this mixing process). The mixture should be allowed to cool to atmospheric temperature before pumping into the tire. The pump can also be used to mix and cool this solution by circulating it through the pump and back into the barrel.

Solution disposal

Antifreeze solution once drained from the tires should be disposed of in a manner fitting to that of a hazardous waste.

Tire pressures

Because of the smaller air volume in ballasted tires, the pressures must be checked and adjusted much more frequently than when water is not present. It is recommended that checking the pressures is carried out every six weeks when the tractor is used in the field, and every three weeks for use on the roads (liquid ballasting is not recommended in the latter case).

Wheel nut tightness

Check the wheel nut tightness every 250 hours.

If any of the wheels have been removed, or you are checking the tightness, the wheel nut tightening torques are as follows: Front - two-wheel drive:

Wheel screws ..........108 Nm (80 lbf ft)

Wheel nuts................. 95 Nm (70 lbf ft)

Rear - pressed wheel:

Disc to Axle Hub ...... 325 Nm (240 lbf ft)

Rim to Disc .............. 240 Nm (177 lbf ft)

CAUTION: Recheck the torques after

10 hours (or 2 hours if on loader work)

and then recheck and if necessary, retighten twice more at ten-hourly intervals. This protects against the loosening that occurs from the wheel settling down.

Electrical equipment

To avoid damage to the components of the alternator charging system, the following service precautions must be observed:

*NEVER make or break any of the charging circuit connections, including the battery when the engine is running. *NEVER short any of the charging components ground. *ALWAYS disconnect the battery ground cable before carrying out arc welding on the tractor. *ALWAYS disconnect the battery ground cable when charging the battery in the tractor. *DO NOT use a slave battery of higher than 12 volt nominal voltage. *ALWAYS observe correct polarity when installing the battery or using a slave battery to start the engine. *ALWAYS connect the ground cable first. Positive terminal and cable marked + (red). Ground terminal and cable marked - (black).

The electrical circuit is a 12 volt NEGATIVE GROUND system and requires little attention. Check and ensure that all cables are secured in place and that terminals are tight.

Battery

Check the battery every 250 hours.

WARNING: The battery contains a

sulfuric acid electrolyte which is a corrosive substance and must be treated with great care:

*Corrosive substance. *Keep out of the reach of children. *Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Battery acid can cause intense irritation. *Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye protection. *In case of contact with eyes rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention. *When charging the battery, charge in a well ventilated place and ALWAYS switch off at the mains before disconnecting the terminals. *If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show the label. *DO NOT use a naked flame to check the electrolyte level, always use a voltmeter or hydrometer to check the state of charge and a flashlight to check the battery electrolyte level if necessary. *Ensure vent plugs are correctly and tightly installed. *Always remove the ground (-) black, cable first.

Fig.134

To gain access to the battery in front of the radiator, just remove the grille (Fig. 134). Check the condition of the battery ensuring that the electrolyte is up to level. Clean the top of the battery, check that the terminals are tight and smear them with petroleum jelly.

Under normal use, maintenance-free batteries will not require topping up. In the event of an alternator failure always check the electrolyte levels. The height above the plates should be 15 mm (0.625 in). If low, adjust to the correct level by the addition of distilled or deionized water.

In the event of an accidental discharge it is strongly recommended that the battery is fully recharged in the workshop. The recharge should be carried out by a charger at 7 amps.

Alternator and fan belt

Check the fan and alternator belt tension every 250 hours.

WARNING: If the lower side panel

(safety guard) is removed or loosened

while checking the belt tension, it must

be refitted and secured before restarting the tractor.

Fig. 135 gives a typical illustration of the alternator/fan belt arrangement; your tractor may differ slightly in the positioning of the adjustment link. Renew the belt if it is worn or damaged. To check the deflection, press down the belt with the thumb at the center of the longest free length. With moderate thumb pressure the correct deflection of the belt is 10 mm (0.375 in). If a belt tension gauge is available, the correct tension is 355 N (80 lbf), DO NOT allow the tension to fall below 220 N (50 lbf).

To adjust the belt tension:

1. Loosen the alternator pivot bolts (1) and the adjustment link bolt (2).

2. Change the position of the alternator to give the correct tension. Tighten the two bolts.

3. Recheck the belt tension to ensure that it is still correct.

NOTE: If a new belt is fitted, check/adjust the tension again after 25 hours of operation.

Headlights

Headlight adjustment

To adjust the headlights, screw the four screws (Fig. 136) in or out as required, this will deflect the beam up, down or sideways. On some models it is possible to adjust the headlights using a short screwdriver without opening the front grille.

To adjust the beam:

1. Position the tractor facing a wall or screen 7,5 m (25 ft) away, distance (A) (Fig. 137).

2. Draw a horizontal line on the wall or screen (1) the same as the center height of the headlights from the ground (B).

3. Draw two vertical lines (2), the same as the horizontal center to center distance between the headlights (C), (315 mm).

4. Draw a second horizontal line (3) at a distance (D) below and parallel to line (1). Distance (D) is calculated by multiplying distance (B) by 0.1; for example, headlight height 985 mm x 0.1 = 98,5 mm.

5. Adjust each headlight, on main beam, individually by covering the opposite one and aligning the upper edge of the illuminated zone to line (3).

Check safety signs every 250 hours.

Replace any Danger, W arning, Caution or Instruction signs that are not readable or are missing. Replacement signs are available from your local Massey Ferguson Dealer in the event of loss or damage.

Cleaning the tractor

Careful attention to the following will help to retain the value of your tractor and make the task of maintenance and adjustment quick and simple.

*Use plenty of water to soften dirt adhering to the surface. If you use a jet of water, try and keep it away from electrical components such as the alternator and starter motor. *If it is found necessary to use detergents or high pressure hot water or steam cleaners, use care not to damage the paint work. Set the machine to the lower pressures and lower rates of detergent application. *Car polishes can be used on the metal work to improve the appearance of the tractor. *Aerosol cans of touch-up paint are available from your Massey Ferguson Dealer to repair chipped or damaged paint. *Check that all the safety signs are in place. The actual location and part numbers of these safety signs are illustrated in the safety section of this Operator Instruction Book, (see page 20 & 21). Replace any that have been lost or removed during cleaning.

Tractor storage

If a tractor is to be stored for some considerable time, certain precautions should be taken to protect the tractor:

Clean the tractor.

1. Lubricate all the grease fittings.

2. Drain the engine, transmission and front axle (if fitted) and refill with fresh oil.

3. Clean the fuel system renewing the filter elements. Drain the fuel tank and pour approximately two gallons of special fuel injection pump calibrating fuel into the tank.

4. Run the engine for about 10 minutes to ensure complete distribution of the calibrating fluid throughout the system.

5. Raise the lift linkage hydraulically and support the lift arms in the fully raised position.

6. Remove the battery and store in a warm, dry atmosphere. Recharge periodically.

7. Place supports under the axles to take the weight off the tires.

8. Drain the radiator and cylinder block and refill with a 50 per cent solution of Massey Ferguson antifreeze and clean water or use a suitable corrosion inhibitor.

9. Cover the exhaust pipe opening.

10.Cover exposed hydraulic cylinder rods with a thin coat of grease.

Preparing the tractor for use after storage:

1. Inflate the tires to the correct pressure.

2. Remove the supports under the axles and lift linkage.

3. Refill the fuel tank.

4. Check the radiator coolant level.

5. Check all oil levels.

6. Fit a fully charged battery.

7. Remove the exhaust pipe covering.

8. Start the engine and check all controls are functioning correctly.

9. Drive the tractor without a load to ensure that it is operating satisfactorily.

Fuel handling and storage

Diesel fuel

Before handling fuel, filling tanks etc., observe the following: Under no circumstance should gasoline, alcohol, gasohol or dieselhol (a mixture of diesel fuel and alcohol) be added to diesel fuel because of increased fire or explosion risks. In a closed container such as a fuel tank they are more explosive than pure gasoline. DO NOT use these blends. Additionally, dieselhol is not approved due to possible inadequate lubrication of the fuel injection system.

*Clean the filler cap area. Fill the tank at the end of each day to reduce overnight condensation. *Never take the cap off or refuel with the engine running or hot. *When filling the tank, keep control of the nozzle. *DO NOT smoke. *Don't fill the tank to capacity. Allow room for expansion and wipe up spilled fuel immediately. *If the original cap is lost, replace it with a Massey Ferguson cap and tighten securely. A non Massey Ferguson cap may not be suitable. *Keep equipment properly maintained.

Cleanliness and storage

The utmost care must be taken to keep fuel clean. The following advice is offered to promote satisfactory fuel handling and storage.

1. Never use galvanized containers.

2. Never clean the inside of containers, or components of the fuel system with a fluffy cloth.

3. The size of the bulk storage tank should be such that intervals between refilling and drainage are not too long. 3000 liter (700 US gal) capacity is sufficient for the average size farm.

4. The storage tank (Fig. 147) should be under cover and supported on cradles of sufficient height to enable the tractor fuel tank to be filled by gravity, and should have a suitable manhole cover to provide access for cleaning. The final outlet cock should be located to allow 76 mm (3 in) settling depth for water sludge;it should feed through a detachable filter with 120 mesh screen. There should be a fall of about 40 mm per meter (¼ in per ft) towards the sludge drain plug.

5. Drums (Fig. 148) should be stored under a protective cover to prevent the entry of water. Drums should be stored at a slight angle, thus allowing any water to run off the top lip. Drums of fuel should not be stacked for a long period before use.

6. Drums in use outside must have the bung securely screwed down to prevent entry of water.

7. Bulk or drum storage tanks should be allowed 24 hours to settle before use, after delivery or servicing.

a. To meet special operating conditions, modifications of individual limiting requirements may be agreed upon between purchaser, seller and manufacturer. b. For cold weather operation, the pour point should be specified 10ºF (5.6ºC) below the ambient temperature at which the engine is to be operated except where diesel fuel oil heating facilities are provided. c. When pour point less than 0ºF (-17.8ºC) is specified, the minimum viscosity shall be 1.8 cSt (32.0 SUS) and the minimum 90 percent shall be waived. d. In Countries outside the USA., other sulphur limits may apply. e. Where Cetane number by Method D 613 is not available, ASTM Method D 976 Calculated Cetane Index of Distillate Fuels 2 may be used as an approximation. Where there is disagreement, Method D 613 shall be the preferred method. f. Low atmospheric temperatures as well as engine operation at high altitudes may require use of fuels with higher cetane ratings. g. Low sulfur fuels may require an additional lubricity agent for fuel injection pump protection. Enquiries should be directed to your fuel supply source for assurance that adequate lubricity amounts are contained in the fuel purchased.

NOTE: Diesel fuels are classified as either No 1 (No 1-D) or No 2 (No 2-D) fuel. The grade No 1 fuel is recommended for service when the air temperature is below 32ºF. The grade No 2 fuel, which will produce more work per gallon, is recommended for service when the air temperature is 32ºF, or above.

Fuel Cooling - ( MF 420/430 only)

To cool the injected fuel after injectors on return line, 420/430 model tractors are equipped with a fuel cooler (Fig. 149). By this cooler fuel temperature drops by 4 or 5ºC. Afterwards, the cooled fuel returns the fuel tank.
