Hydraulic Horrors - Massey Ferguson 100 series top cover rebuild - Part 1
Overview
This is a hands-on hydraulic top cover teardown on a Massey Ferguson 165, not a buyer's overview. The owner strips the top cover fully, finding prior botched repairs, a worn control cam, a snapped dashpot guide, a missing position control spring, and a stuck piston ring, then walks through timing the cross shaft and lift arms during reassembly. Best suited to owners already elbow-deep in their own MF hydraulic lift repair, not general shoppers.
Posted by the Clarence Fud-Weasel channel, an owner-operator documenting their own slow, informal progress repairing multiple Massey Ferguson tractors.
