Nice to see the use of the engine trolley. Looked at your utube first and another half a dozen by others. None used the engine trolley and they were complaining of the need to use 3 hands to remove or refit parts. Firmly securing the lift cover to the trolley is a very good start to avoid it falling over and breaking parts.

Yes the stands work really well and take the hard work out of it. I have adapter brackets made for all sorts of things now.

Another brilliant video....you can tell I've time on my hands at the moment. I stripped down a MF 240 lift cover recently, which came of a scraper tractor. The lift shaft was totally seized and took some heat and hammering to free it up. Stupidly I never took any photos and when I took it apart I never put any split pins in the shafts with the springs on them...When I unbolted that lot it ended up in a heap around my feet and took me ages to get it back together correctly when I went to fit it all back together...... Follow your nose just about summed it up for me.... a bit of engineering knowledge and trail and error wins in the end

@@BundyBearsShed Thanks for that link Lance, that will come in useful. I just finished watching the video on the front wheel bearings. When I came to do them on the 240 I discovered the seal housings had disappeared...probably due to being immersed in cowshit for years as a scraper tractor. Being Scottish, rather the buying new parts, I machined up some new housings and welded them in place and it did the job perfectly. I get a good feeling fixing up rather than buying new when I can, but am happy to spend cash where its needed. When It comes to doing more to it mechanically the manuals will be more than useful. It actually doesn't need much and managed to start first kick at -5DecC without heat, so the engine is sound. Keep them coming

I really like your engine stand conversion to a lift cover rotisserie. I'm going to try to make one myself since I have an engine stand that's not busy. I'm wondering if you have the lift cover supported on the tail end that we can't see in the video. It seems a lot of weight to hang off the front three bolt holes of the cover. If there's no other support, is there any chance that the cover could break or crack at the front?

@BundyBearsShed 3 жыл бұрын

it is only on the side and no chance of it breaking as it is only reasonably light and the cast is quite thick. Thicker than most engine blocks weighing a lot more so Im sure it will be fine.

Hey, I’ve got a MF135 with lift issues. It will lift fully with no attachment hooked up. But with weight from implements (bush hog or disc harrow) attached it is slow to lift IF it does lift at all. This is a new issue, have changed fluid(had water in it), fresh fluid had no change in lifting performance.

check the o rings on the stand pipe, easy to do and cheap to fix.

Bundy Bears Shed thank you for the reply! The top of pipe stand correct? If no O-ring that would indicate fluid is bypassing pump when under pressure instead of being sealed with O-ring?

Lance, hope you are well. Your explanations are excellent. I took one of these 135 lift covers apart last march and just getting it all put back together. At 1 minute in this vid, you talk about putting split pins (cotter keys) in the draft and position link rods to take pressure off for disassembly. I can't remember if these had pins in them before hand or if those holes are just to aid in disassembly. So I guess my question... Do pins actually go in those two rods (on the other side of the slide through bracket) when assembled?

@BundyBearsShed 5 жыл бұрын

G Day Chris, The holes are there but normally there is nothing in them, they are to aid assembly like you mentioned.

Hello, I saw that you also undo the whole part with the adjustments to the hydraulic side (also the levers are actuated). Can you tell me how you made the adjustments as you put them in place? In my MF135 I can't manage to set it to work according to the user manual. At my MF135 it only works the lever on the outside and with those who torment me until I find a point where the machine from the straps to stay in the same position. It just goes up and down and when it reaches its maximum it has a strange noise as if it were snapping something at the hydraulic pump. If you can help me please with the steps you need to follow for a correct adjustment? Thank you

I’ve just taken the lift cover off a 175 I just bought. The lift arms were always in the up position unless tractor was shut off or clutch all the way in. After inspection, position control shaft (outer shaft) from the quadrant is broken right where it enters the lift cover. Draft control shaft (inner shaft) still moves fine. Will I be able to get both shafts out if I can’t wiggle the cam for the position control to get it out since it is broken off from the rest of the shaft?
