I just purchased a 1984 IMT 539 which looks to be the same tractor as the MF35 , it has a 3 cyl perkins diesel motor …. I hooked it to a two row disk and the tractor wouldn’t lift it … oil was milky so I changed it .. the guy at the parts house said use a (non foaming) 90 weight … after I changed it the hyd’s worked great .. but after running the tractor for 30 minutes my hyd oil got milky again and now the hyd’s don’t work as good ?… I can’t find a hyd filter on the tractor … need help BAD ..

Thanks MIKE

Good afternoon,
I read through the advice u have given on the massey furgeson 65
Ours is a 1958 model. Looks like it was propane converted to gas. The fluids are milky and I was in the process of changing them. I did see the oil drain plug under the pan. Menthe gear box drain and the rear plug under the seat? I bought multiple purpose transmission/hydraulic fluid for the tranny/gear change. I noticed the tranny filler cap said sae 90 or 80 so I stopped. Is the fluid I purchased ok for the tranny/ gear or do I need sae 90 for eveything?

Hi there when i put my lever to lift my 3 pt hitch it labours the engine,and the arms won’t come up. With the lift lever in the up position i lift the arm all the way up and the pump stops and the engine stops labouring. Could this be just a dirty filter? Thanks
