1. is your tractor going into neutral ok – can you select all the gears? if not you may have a selector issue

2. with the tractor in neutral and the brake off, roll the machine back and fourth – if it wont roll there is an issue with one of the torque converters (big lumps just inside the back hubs)

Best of luck

I live in South Africa and bought a MF35 a couple of years ago from a friend. It is a very old model, not sure what year, but it has an H/S/L gearlever and R/1/2/3 gearlever. PTO is engaged by a lever on the left side of the seat. The tractor worked fine until recently, now it does not want to move even if I put it into gear, the PTO however does turn when engaged. Any idea what can be wrong? Your help will be appreciated. Thanks Conrad Hi Steve

Constant tapping of the engine components (particularly if the shells have been worn and loose) can cause magnetism, so that could be the most likely reason. Also machining of components during manufacture can also cause magnetism. Although if you are experiencing this an several of the engine components then I would guess at the former reason. If anyone else has other views then let us know here in the comments. Steve (VTE) Hi Terry, good to hear from you,

Any explanation why Dromonedog Hello Steve
