hello Everybody,
I just bought a MF 133, I’m verry happy driving an using it, but i have a big problem, I can’t shift gears without noise, I think I have problems with the clutch. I get this noise also when I’m stooped. Please help me with some advices, I already adjusted the pedal but no result….The PTO works fine.
Thank you.
best regards,
John

I have a MF 271 and the clutch adjustment finger bolt are ground off by the though out bearing. What size are the bolts and wrench size for adjustment?

I have a 165 split right now, pto clutch would not engage without grinding gears. Made all adjustments pushed tractor back together and the throwout bearing would not contact fingers on the clutch. Split it again, pto adjustment was not the same as before I pushed it together, and if I turn out bolts on the fingers any more there is only two threads inside the the fingers and that doesnt seem right. all disks are new should I just put longer bolts in the fingers

i forgot to tell you how to adjust the pedal dissconect the pedal linkage then lossen the bolt holding the arm on the shaft going into the transmission take a punch and put threw the hole in the end of the shaft using the punch rotate the punch clockwise until you feel the resistance of the bearing contacting the release fingers of the clutch using your hand holing it in this position ajust the arm so that there is one eight in between the tnasmission and the arm tighten the bolt no you ready for the linkage hold the pedal all the way up i use a bungy cord then ajust the linkage so you can just get the pi threw the to hole of the arm now put the pin back in if you did this right when you push the clutch pedal with your hand there should be one eight between the arm and the transmission when you feel contact

you should always start buy ajusting the pedal first because if its out of ajustment the the release bearing is not going to push the release fingers of the clutch far enough to dissendage the secondarie clutch if after doing this you still cant dissengage the secondarie clutch pull the cover off the bootom of the transmission there are three ajusting bolts on the secondarie clutch the head of the bolt to the cover should be .080 massey says bt .060 is better trust me to adust them just loosen the locking nut and screw in or out to ajust gap do all three tighten locking nuts and recheck gap if its good close up the cover and try it out i have a 165 with indusrial loader on it and it worked for me
