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:
Clean the tractor.
1. Lubricate all the grease fittings.
2. Drain the engine, transmission and front axle (if
fitted) and refill with fresh oil.

Drain the fuel tank and pour approximately two gallons
of special fuel injection pump calibrating fuel into the
tank.

complete distribution of the calibrating fluid throughout
the system.

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.
