CAUSED BY CARELESSNESS AND LACK OF THOUGHT. NEXT TIME YOU’RE

TEMPTED TO HURRY, THINK OF US. WE ALL FEEL THAT ACCIDENTS

WON’T HAPPEN TO US, BUT THEY DO, NO MATTER HOW MUCH WE WISH

THEY DIDN'T.

INDUSTRIAL AND FARM EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURERS PLAN SAFETY

AND EFFICIENCY INTO THE MACHINERY YOU OPERATE. THEIR PLANNING,

YES, EVEN OUR OWN PERSONAL PLANS, WON’T MEAN A THING IF YOU ACT

CARELESSLY. THE MACHINE YOU ARE OPERATING IS ONLY AS SAFE AS

16—Differential Lock

The differential lock for the MF 35 tractor isoptional factory installed equipment. It is es-pecially advantageous for use where traction ispoor. By depressing the pedal, the operatorlocks the rear axles together so they pullsimultaneously. This must be done with care,to prevent damage to the rear end. The pedalshould be applied only at slow engine speedsand when one wheel is slipping while the otheris holding fast. When applied, it will enablethe tractor to pull through slick places in whichit would otherwise stall.

The differential lock may be released in oneof three ways. First, release the pedal, then

(1) clutch the tractor, (2) turn to the right, or,

(3) lightly depress the right brake pedal.

Use reserve supply occasionally to preventcondensation, rust, etc.

Drive Carefully on the Highway

Your MF 35 Tractor was designed for a longlife of economical and trouble-free perform-

ance. A very important factor in that perform-ance is proper break-in. A little time spent oncareful break-in will be repaid by satisfactory

service, month after month.

1. During the first 25 hours, run your en-

gine under normal load at normal operatingtemperature. Avoid continuous light loads or

low engine RPM.2. When plowing or doing other heavy-load

operations, avoid overloading or lugging the

engine. Shift one gear lower than would nor-

mally be used. Vary the load, however, during

this period by shifting to a higher gear for

short intervals. This brings the engine up to

full load.

3. Change crankcase oil after the first 50

hours of operation.

4. Change the transmission oil after the

first 50 hours of operation.

STARTING THE TRACTOR

Sit in the seat and get accustomed to the

controls. Place your hands on the wheel and

your feet on the clutch and brake pedals. No-

tice the location of all the instruments and

controls.

CAUTION: Carbon monoxide isa killer. Never operate your

tractor engine in a closed building.

1. Turn ignition key to "I" position.

2. Move throttle 1/8 to 1/4 open.3. Push clutch pedal all the way down.4. Place the Dual Range lever in neutral.

5. Pull out choke and hold in position.

6. Press the starter button and release it

immediately when the engine starts.

CAUTION: Never operate the startingmotor for periods longer than 30

seconds without pausing for two min-

utes to allow it to cool.

7. Release choke as soon as engine runs

smoothly.

8. Do not "rev-up" or race the engine im-mediately after starting.

9. Allow the engine to reach its normal

operating temperature before working the

tractor. During cold weather the oil pressure

gauge will register a higher pressure. Whenthis condition exists, the engine should be run

9

at an idle speed until the pressure reaches itsnormal position.

NOTE; If the engine is hot and fails tostart or if the carburetor becomes'flooded", pull the hand throttle downwhile starting. Do not use the choke.

CAUTION: Never operate the 8.10 to 1 Hi—Altitude engineat elevations less than 4000 feet above sea level.

At elevations from 4000 to 5000 feet NEVER use gasolinewith less than the recommended 82—84 octane rating.

WATCH THE INSTRUMENTS

Oil Pressure Gauge

Oil pressure gauge must register "normal"or "high" upon starting a cold engine.

Never run the engine with a LOW oil pres-sure reading.

Ammeter*

Normally reads on (+) side of dial (batterycharging).

Call your MF Dealer if ammeter continuallyindicates discharge or excessive charging rate.

Temperature Gauge

Should stay in green NORMAL range aftertractor warms up. Overheating occurs whenthe indicator enters the red sector beneath the"7". If overheating occurs, carefully checkthe radiator. If water is needed, add it slowlywith the engine idling.

CAUTION: When removing thepressure - type radiator cap,

slowly and carefully turn to the firstnotch. This will relieve the pressure,thus preventing injury from escaping

steam.

DRIVING THE TRACTOR

clutch tractors, the clutch pedal need only bedepressed through the first stage.

3. Open throttle slightly and release clutchpedal slowly.

4. Slowly increase throttle setting until de-sired speed is reached.

CAUTION; Sharply braking onewheel causes wasteful tire and

brake wear, and therefore, shouldonly be done when short turns are ne-cessary. INDIVIDUAL WHEEL BRAK-ING SHOULD NOT BE ATTEMPTEDWHILE TRAVELINGA THIGHSPEEDS.

CAUTION; Do not let your foot reston or ride the clutch pedal.

Selecting the Correct Gear

Three important factors in selecting a work-ing gear are:

1. Designed speed of the implement.2. Field conditions.

3. Tractor performance.

A good torque characteristic enables yourMF 35 to lug through tough spots without throttleor gear changes. Chose gears so that the en-gine does not lug excessively.

To start the tractor in motion after the engineis operating, proceed as follows : Continued overloading causes overheatingand

excessive engine wear.1. Release the brakes.2. Depress the clutch pedal fully and move

the dual range lever to either high or low range Racing the engine under light load causesand gear shift lever to desired gear. On dual poorfuel economy.

on tractors so equipped

10

Test for Overloading

With the tractor moving, set throttle half-wayopen. Quickly pull throttle wide open. If theengine only picks up speed slowly, the tractoris overloaded. Shift to a lower gear. Inter-mittent overloads in hilly operation are notharmful.

Stopping the Tractor

1. Depress the clutch pedal while reducingengine speed.

2. Apply both brakes as needed to stop.3. Put the gear shift and dual range levers

in "neutral”.

4. Lock the toe-trip parking latch.5. Turn off the ignition switch.

ATTACHING AND DETACHINGIMPLEMENTS

The exclusive MF Hydraulic System combinesyour tractor and implement into a closely-coupled working unit. Quadramatic controlsprovide complete implement control at yourfinger tips. Attaching implements to the three-point linkage is fast and easy:

1. Back the tractor to the implement; keepthe lower links lined-up with the implementhitch pins.

2. Position the lower links all the way down.3. Attach left lower link; secure with linch

pin. Use leveling crank if necessary in attach-ing right lower link.

4. Attach upper link. Adjust to nominallength for normal field conditions.

UPPER LINK LENGTH

Nominal length: 27 inches (line up thenotches on the bar

sections or * adjust so that deep ring grooves are just

showing.)

on tractors equipped with the quick-adjustable upper link

To detach implements:

1. Lower the implement on level ground.2. Detach the upper link from the tractor.3. Detach right lower link (use leveling

crank as needed). Detach left lower link.4. Secure linch pins in their clips.

Quadramatic Controls

1. Hydralever 3. Draft Control Lever

2. Draft Adjustment Stop 4. Adjustable Stops

HYDRAULIC SYSTEMQUADRAMATIC CONTROLS

The operation of hydraulically - controlledimplements attached to the MF 35 tractor isgoverned by two Quadramatic Control levers:

1) the Hydralever, 2) the Draft Control Lever.

HYDRALEVER

1. The Hydralever is basically used to raiseand lower mounted implements.

2. The Hydralever allows position control ofimplements; that is, the lower links move up ordown in direct relation to the movement of theHydralever.

DRAFT CONTROL LEVER

1. The Draft Control Lever governs thedepth and the draft (pull) of soil-engaging im-plements when draft control is being used.

2. As the draft of the implement varies,draft control (actuated by the control spring)

automatically raises or lowers the implementto compensate for soil variations.

POSITION CONTROL

Use position control when operating mowers,side rakes, cultivators, planters, blades or

any implement requiring a fixed height inde-pendent of draft.

To use position control:

11

AUXILIARY PUMPINGPOSITION...

When using

an external

control valve

POSITION CONTROL1. Raise and lower implements

from transport position.

2. Operate with implements at

fixed height independent of draft.

DRAFT CONTROL^Adjust depth and

draft of soil-engaging

implements

DRAFT RESPONSEAdjust the rate at

which the system responds

when using Draft Control.

Using the Hydraulic Controls

1. Move the Draft Control Lever all the waydown (so that the Draft Control Lever will notoverride the Hydralever).

2. Move the Hydralever up or down for thedesired height or depth.

3. When you want to raise an implement andreturn it to the same height or depth, move theHydralever stop into position and secure theknurled nut.

CAUTION; Never leave an im-plement in a raised position.

DRAFT CONTROL

Use draft control when operating plows, har-rows, tillers, sub-soilers, bedders or othersoil-engaging implements.

To use draft control:

1. Lower the implement from transport tooperating position with the Hydralever. Pushthe Hydralever all the way down.

2. Use the Draft Control Lever to arrive ata working depth for the implement.

3. With the draft lever located for averageworking depth, center the adjustable sector inline with the draft lever and secure the sectorwith the knurled nut.

4. Using the adjustable sector knob for a re-ference point, minor field corrections can bemade within the sector by raising the draftlever slightly for lighter soils and lowering forheavier soils to maintain uniform depth. Re-turn to normal depth by realigning knobs.

5. Adjust the draft response (lower sectionof Hydralever quadrant) so that the hydraulic

12

system gives smooth draft control without bob-

bing or bouncing.

6. Raise the implement to transport position

with the Hydralever.

IMPORTANT: Do not use the DraftControl Lever to lift an implement to

transport position

ADJUSTING DRAFT RESPONSE

external cylinders are being used with an aux-

iliary hydraulic control valve.

USING EXTERNAL HYDRAULIC EQUIPMENT

An auxiliary control valve is normally usedto operate external hydraulic cylinders. For

illustrations and descriptions of available

valves, installation, operation, etc. , see Hy-

draulic Control Valves, Break-Away Couplers

and Hydraulic Cylinders under "Accessories”.

Draft response refers to the speed with which

the hydraulic system reacts to changes in draft.Varying soil texture, uneven ground, hidden

obstacles and changing speeds are all factors

which necessitate changes in draft response.

The lower end of the Hydralever quadrant isused for draft response adjustment. If an im-

plement bobs or bounces, move the Hydralevertoward "slow”. In stony conditions or in vary-

ing soil textures the hydraulic system may notrespond to changes in draft rapidly enough. In

this case, move the Hydralever towards "fast".When you find a suitable response setting, youmay want to lock the Hydralever stop in thatposition. In that way, you can maintain the

same response setting after raising and lower-ing the implement.

OVERLOAD RELEASE

Whenever the draft of an implement increases

more than 2000 lbs. over the Draft ControlLever setting, the hydraulic system goes into

overload release. This protective feature re-

leases the implement weight and draft from the

hydraulic system. There is a loss of traction

and the tractor wheels spin. The operator can

quickly push in the clutch, raise the implement,

and clear the obstruction.

Hydraulic outlets are provided in the hydrau-

lic lift cover for certain external applications.

There is a pressure port on each side of the

lift cover near the front. A return port at theleft rear of the lift cover opens to the tractor

sump. All of the ports are supplied with

socket-head pipe plugs.

POWER TAKE-OFF

"Engine PTO"is the standard or proportionalengine-speed drive. With the engine at 1700

RPM, the PTO speed is 540 RPM (ASAE stand-ard for most PTO equipment).

"Ground PTO"* is a proportional ground-speed drive. The PTO turns one revolution forabout each twenty inches of forward travel re-

gardless of speed or gear. "Ground PTO" isvery useful with side rakes, lister planters,

etc.

The PTO shaft is a 1-3/8 inch (ASAE Std.

)

shaft. The annular (ring) groove allows fast

connection with push-button PTO couplers.

Operating Precautions:

NOTE: The later model tractors,which are equipped with a hydraulic

system filter, do not have the over-

load release feature. This safety

measure is now taken care of in im-plement design.

CAUTION: The protective fea-ture of the overload release

may be lost if an implement is oper-ated at excessive speeds beyond the

normal range of operation.

Always depress the clutch pedal fully before

engaging the PTO shift lever.

The dual clutch* will- aid in clearing heavyloads from balers, mowers, etc. Depress the

clutch pedal through the first stage to stop

tractor motion and keep the PTO running.

CAUTION: Shift from "Ground PTO"*to "neutral" before backing the trac-

tor. Otherwise, the implement mech-

anism will be reversed and damaged.

AUXILIARY PUMPING POSITION

Move the Draft Control Lever to the auxiliarypumping position on the control quadrant when

on tractors so equipped

CAUTION: Always use appro

-

priate safety shields when op-

erating PTO equipment.

LIQUID-FILLING THE TIRES

For certain operations or for difficult condi-tions, it may be desirable to use additionalweight for increased traction. The accessorywheel weights were especially designed for thispurpose. They are easily removed for betterfuel economy whenever the extra weight is notneeded. Those owners who prefer to liquid-fill the tractor tires will find the following in-

formation useful.

It is better to use calcium chloride solutionthan water; the freezing point is lower and thedensity (weight) is greater. The solution des-cribed in the table contains 3. 5 lbs. calciumchloride per gallon of water. The freezingpoint is 30° below zero F. Although the figuresin the table describe a 100% fill, it is possibleto partially fill the tires by using lesseramounts.

CAUTION: Always add the calciumchloride to the water and never the

reverse.

UNIVERSAL SWINGING DRAWBAR(If So Equipped)

The universal swinging drawbar can be setinto two oositions. The forward position pro-vides for a standard 14 inch distance from thedrawbar hole to the PTO shaft end and in therearward position provides the same distanceto the PTO extension. When operating powertake-off pull behind implements, the drawbarin its rearmost position provides for a shorterturning radius of the combined tractor and im-plement. Laterally the bar may be fixed withthe hitch point central or in any one of thethree positions to either side.

When operating close coupled implements,the drawbar need not be removed. Remove theclevis pin and one positioning bolt and move thedrawbar forward and to one of the outer holesin the clevis. Install the positioning bolt

through the rear hole in the drawbar and installthe clevis pin as shown. This will conveniently

move the drawbar under the tractor and out ofthe way.

To attach the swinging drawbar:

1. Insert the bar into the clevis mounted tothe underside of the tractor differential housing.

2. Connect the bar into the clevis by insert-ing the hitch pin from the bottom and securewith the hair pin.

3. Position the drawbar as desired and se-cure it with the positioning bolts.

PREPARING THE TRACTORFOR STORAGE

li your tractor is to be idle for an extendedperiod of time, carefully prepare it for storage.Select a dry and protected place where it is notexposed to weather or to livestock.

1. Thoroughly clean the tractor and touch-up all rust spots with a handy spray-pack.

2. Lubricate as follows:

Lubricate all pressure grease fittings.

Drain and refill the crankcase. Change the filter element.

Drain and refill the transmission. Clean the magnetic drain

plugs.

Remove air cleaner and clean thoroughly. Wash internalfilter in a suitable solvent. Reinstall and refill the oil cup

Check steering housing oil level.

Check power steering reservoir on tractors so equipped.

Repack the wheel bearings.

3. Start the engine and bring it to operatingtemperature.

4. Cooling system and fuel tank:

Drain and flush the cooling system. Filling with anti-freeze (for sub-freezing temperatures) or water is a goodpractice. Always use a suitable rust inhibitor. If coolingsystem i s not refi lied, be sure to close the draincocks andpressure cap to deep out dirt, etc.

Drain the fuel tank completely. Replace the cap.

Remove, clean and reinstall the sediment bowl, gas lineand carburetor.

5. Remove the sparkplugs; clean and regapat 0. 025 inch.

6. Before reinstalling spark plugs, pour twotablespoons of heavy lubricating oil into eachcylinder top. Turn the engine over severaltimes and reinstall plugs.

7. Remove the battery. Store it, fullycharged, in a cool place. Protect from freez-ing. Check the state of charge at two-weekintervals.

8. Jack the tractor up on sturdy blocks. Ifthe tires are filled with water only, drain toprevent freezing.

9. Cover the ends of the exhaust pipe and

breather pipe. Cover the tractor with a tar-paulin or storm cover.

REMOVING THE TRACTORFROM STORAGE

1. Remove the spark plugs and pour twotablespoons of a mixture of one-half gasoline

and one-half light lubricating oil into each

cylinder.

2. Reinstall spark plugs.

3. Install fully charged battery making sure

that the proper connections are made. Thetractor battery is negative-grounded.

4. Fill the cooling system with proper

coolant.

5. Fill the fuel tank.

6. Check the oil level in the crankcase,

transmission and air cleaner.

7. Remove coverings from exhaust andbreather pipes.

8. Inspect and tighten all nuts, bolts and

screws.9. Start the engine and allow it to run at an

idle for 10 to 15 minutes. Check the oil gauge

to determine if the engine is receiving proper

lubrication.

S&wici«tfThis section of the manual is intended as a guide for those minor adjustments and

repairs which are necessary from time to time. When a major overhaul or adjustmentother than those described in this section is necessary, call your authorized Massey-

Ferguson Dealer. His Full-Value Service program with trained personnel and

special equipment means true economy and lasting satisfaction for you.

ADJUSTING THE FAN BELT

To properly tension the fan belt, it is neces-sary to pivot the generator slightly. Loosen

the bolt in the slotted bracket and the two pivot

bolts beneath the generator. Adjust to give 1/2

inch belt deflection under hand pressure.

Tighten the bolts securely.

THERMOSTAT

An inoperative thermostat will cause improperwarm-up and operating temperatures, resultingin excessive condensation and crankcase

dilution. Operating with the thermostat re-

moved will have the same effects. The thermo-stat is housed in a cast-iron elbow between the

upper radiator hose and the cylinder head.

|Thermottot: 160* type M-F Part Number 830 685 M91

To replace the thermostat, remove the upperhose and the cast-iron elbow. Check the new

thermostat by immersing it in water. It should

begin to open at 157-163 F. and should be fully

open at 175-185°F. Use a new gasket when

installing the cast elbow. Inspect the hoses

and tighten the clamps as needed.

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENTS

NOTE: A porous plug is incorporatedin the bottom of the carburetor. This

non-removable plug allows conden-

sation and excess fuel to escape.

Idling - Air Adjustment

Open the idling adjustment screw (1 to 1-1/4turns) until the engine idles smoothly whenwarm.

Idling - Speed Adjustment

Turn the adjusting screw to increase or de-crease speed. Adjust to 450 RPM idling speed.

Main Jet Adjustment

Adjust the main jet by turning-in the needle

valve to the fully closed position (not tight) and

opening 1 to 1-1/4 turns for the operating

settings. Field-test the tractor under normal

load by quickly moving the throttle from half-

open to full-open position. If the engine coughs

and stalls, open the main jet 1/16 turn and

repeat the test.

IMPORTANT: An excessively leanmixture reduces power, overheats the

engine and may cause burned valves.Never set the main jet less than oneturn open.

AIR SYSTEM

NEGLECTING AIR SYSTEM MAINTENANCE ISONE OF THE MOST COMMON CAUSES OFENGINE FAILURE — SOME PRECAUTIONS:

1. Service the air cleaner bowl daily or

oftener in very dusty conditions.

2. Clean the rubber inlet hose when dirty.

Morvel-Schebler Carburetor

1. Idle Speed Screw2. Idle Air Screw3. Main Jet

4. Screened Inlet5. Porous Plug6. Drain Plug

19

DO NOT NEGLECT THE AIR SYSTEM3. At least twice ayear (oftener if necessary),

clean the internal filter by rinsing the aircleaner in a suitable solvent. Replace ifnecessary.

4. From time to time inspect the hoseconnections. Tighten if necessary. Check thehoses and tubes for any crack which mightallow unfiltered air to enter the system.

SPARK PLUGS (Heat Range)

Hot plugs are designed for use in coldweather for intermittent operation under lightload. Cold plugs may be used during hotweather for steady operation under heavy load.Some indications that cooler plugs may beneeded are rapid burning of the electrodes orblistering of the insulator tips. Hotter plugswill often remedy fouling with oily carbondeposits. Remember, however, that this typeof fouling may also result from poor carburetoradjustment, faulty rings or other causes.

VALVE ADJUSTMENTS

Proper valve adjustment is essential forquiet smooth operation and long valve life.Excessive tappet clearance results in noisyand uneconomical operation while inadequateclearance causes burned valves.

Hot Cold

Tappet clearance: .013” .015”

The valves should be set “hot”.Have the engine running (auxiliary fuel tank)

at a slow idle at normal operating temperature.

GOVERNOR ADJUSTMENTS

The governor mechanism is completely en-closed by the timing gear housing except for thecontrol linkage. Although you should never at-tempt to adjust or repair the enclosed mechan-ism, you may find it necessary to service theexternal linkage. Faulty or erratic operation,

surging etc. may be due to excessive dirt,wear, binding or improper length adjustment ofthis external linkage. Never lubricate throttleor governor linkage.

If governor action is responsive, note the topengine RPM on the tractormeter. The maxi-mum engine speed should be 2200-2250 RPM.If this condition does not exist, loosen U-boltand turn assembly on throttle rod until correctspeed is obtained.

or corroded wires, loose, dirty or greasyconnections and terminals will cause poorperformance.

2. Check the rotor and cap. A carbonizedor chipped rotor and cap will allow high tensionleaks. A hair-line crack in the cap may havethe same effect. Replace defective parts.

3. Check the contact points.

Distributor point gap: 0.022 inch.

The points should meet squarely and havethe proper gap. For a more accurate feeler-gauge reading, clean the point surfaces with a

CAUTION: Never use emery cloth orsandpaper to clean points; embeddedparticles will cause arcing and burn-

ing.

See Lubrication (100-Hour & 750-Hoursections) for proper lubrication. Excess Lubri-cant may get on the contact points and causethem to burn.

ENGINE TIMING

Clutch Pedal Free Play

1. Insert a rod through the hole in the clutchpedal shaft. Loosen the clamp bolt.

2. Turn the shaft clockwise until you feelthe clutch finger engage the release bearing

(noticeable resistance).

3. Move the clutch pedal on the shaft untilthere is 3/4 inch free-play. Tighten the clutch

pedal clamp securely.

ADJUSTING THE BRAKES

To adjust the brakes, raise the rear wheelsoff the ground. Remove the adjusting holecover. Tighten the adjusting screw until youfeel drag on the wheel, then back off the screw.

Check drag after each click.

If the brakes are malfunctioning due to

very damp climatic conditions, it maybe necessary to "bum-in" the linings

before adjustment. With its rear

wheels raised, run the tractor in high

range -first gear. Lock one brake on

and partially apply the other brake

until the brake drum is too hot totouch. Repeat the procedure on the

opposite brake. Allow the drums tocool, then adjust.

Check the master brake setting (both brake

pedals locked together). Apply the master

brake while driving the tractor on level ground.

The tractor should come to a stop in a straight

line. If it pulls to one side, shorten the brake

linkage (by adjusting the clevis on the rod) on

the opposite side.

DIFFERENTIAL LOCK

The differential lock needs very little main-tenance. However, it is important that the

notches of the locking mechanism be fully en-gaged. The pedal should not touch the stepplate when the locking mechanism is engaged.If the pedal does touch the step plate adjust-

ment is made as follows:

1. Loosen the clamp lock nut until the pedalshaft will rotate on the differential lock shaft.

2. Pull up on the pedal shaft until it clears

the step plate by 3-1/2" when the differentiallock is disengaged.

3. Tighten clamp locknut securely.

The universal-type Cross Drawbar is easilyattached to the lower links. The stay linksmay be adjusted so that the drawbar heightcorresponds to the height of the implement.

CA UTION: Never pull from the upperlink connections or use the crossdrawbar without stay links

.

CAUTION: Keep the drawbar adjustedlow enough so that sufficient weightremains on the front wheels. Standardheight is obtained when the stay linknotches line up.

The Swinging Drawbar is used for conven-tional pull-type hitching; it is expecially usefulwhere drawbar load might affect steering. Toremove the drawbar, pull two pins as illus-trated.

Swinging Drawbar*with PTO Stub Shaft Extension* Pull Pins 1 and 2 to remove drawbar

The Universal Swinging Drawbar features aforward and a rear position to maintain thestandard 14" distance from the drawbar hole tothe end of the PTO shaft or PTO extension.When you are using closely-coupled imple-ments, this drawbar need not be removed.

Just pull the front pivot pin, push the bar for-ward and secure the rear end with one of thepositioning bolts.

PTO EXTENSIONS

When attaching most pull-type PTO equip-ment to your tractor, you must use an exten-sion and shield to meet A. S. A. E. specificationsfor a standard hitch. See implement manualfor recommendation.

Two PTO extensions are available:

1. A 6-inch stub-shaft extension for usewith either of the swinging drawbars.

2. A 12-inch extension with support housingfor use with the extension "V" drawbar.

A shield is supplied with each of these exten-sions. The stub shaft is installed on the PTOshaft and secured with a single bolt. To installthe 12-inch extension, remove the check chainanchor brackets and secure the support housingin position. Wrap the check chains around thelower links to keep them out of the way. Installthe shield.

NOTE; If you have removed the checkchain brackets and are reinstallingthem, make sure that the chains areattached in the upper holes.

dust conditions to remove large particles of

dust, dirt and foreign material from the air

before it reaches the air cleaner.

The kit includes the precleaner, tube, a new

hood-ornament casting, and attaching hard-

ware. For late model tractors, the present

trademark emblem is used to fasten the newhood-ornament casting to the front of the hood.

The earlier model tractors, having the sepa-

rate air scoop, will require ordering the latest

model emblem and attaching parts in additionto the kit.

A prescreener kit is available for use with,and in addition to, the precleaner when working

in crops such as cotton and soybeans. This

prescreener (repair part 193 715 M91) must be

ordered separately.

The cover and bowl are easily removed for

cleaning and should be removed before raising

the hood. This removal will prevent dirt and

dust from entering the tube.

Multi-Power Shift Lever

1. Shift Lever

MULTI-POWER TRANSMISSION

The multi-power transmission provides 12

forward and 4 reverse speeds. This wide range

promotes greater efficiency in all operations.

Multi-power provides a shift-on-the-go ad-

vantage. This can be done without clutching.

Simply move the shift lever up for high rangeand down for low range.

OPERATING PRINCIPLES

1. Starting or stopping the tractor - multi-

power lever. May be in either high or lowposition.

2. The multi-power lever can be moved

without disengaging the clutch.

3. Multi-power engages at the same speedregardless how fast the lever is moved. Al-

ways move lever all the way up or down.4. Disengage the clutch only when you move

the gear shift or dual range lever.

5. Multi-power may be operated continu-ously in high or low range.

6. For engine breaking while coming down

hill, shift the M-P lever to "High".7. The multi-power transmission has an

overrunning characteristic which prevents the

tractor from being started by towing or pushing.

8. Parking:

a. Set the parking brake.

b. Put tractor in gear:

(a) First gear — facing uphill(b) Reverse gear — facing downhill.

c. Put dual range lever in "Low". M-Plever may be in ,rHigh" or "Low".

9. The M-P transmission has a "hill-hold"characteristic. When pulling uphill with theM-P in "High”, depress the clutch pedal throughthe first stage only — the hill-hold will preventthe tractor from rolling backwards. Hill-hold

applies in both forward and reverse.

10. If there is difficulty shifting gears on

hills — move the M-P lever to "Low".11. Multi-power transmissions are adjusted

at the factory.

If operating difficulties occur, call your au-

thorized M F Dealer.12. Lubrication:

Use straight mineral oil in the multi-power

transmission.

SAE 90 above 50° FSAE 80 below 50° FDrain after the first 50 hours of operation

and at 750 hour intervals thereafter.
