Servicing the Tractor
TRACTOR STORAGE
General
2.01D-06
When preparing a tractor for storage, comply with the
following recommendations to ensure that the tractor is in
good condition when required for use. Thoroughly clean
the tractor, giving particular attention to the greasing
points and oil filler plugs. Park the tractor in a dry, level and
covered area away from the weather and livestock with
easy exit in case of fire.
When the tractor has to be stored in the open air, park it on
level ground in the shelter of a building or wall and
completely cover it with a good tarpaulin.
Tyres
1 . Jack up the tractor and position wooden blocks under
the axles to relieve the tyres of all weight.
2. Inflate the tyres a little above the normal pressure and
chalk that pressure on the tyre wall. Protect the tyres
from direct sunlight.
3. When ballasted tyres are not filled with calcium
chloride, deflate the tyres, empty out the water and
re-inflate with air.
4. When wheel weights are fitted, remove, clean and paint
any bare metal and refit.
Hydraulic Lift System
5. Check and replenish the transmission oil level in the
centre housing to the high mark on the dipstick.
6. Using the tractor hydraulics, with the Response Control
in FAST, raise and lower the linkage several times.
7. Engage the PTO for a short period to obtain the
maximum circulation of transmission oil around the
centre housing.
8. Raise the linkage to the Transport Position and support
the two lift arms in this position with wooden chocks.
9. Leave the two quadrant levers in the Transport Position
i.e., the Draft Control (outer) lever past the UP and the
Position Control (inner) lever in Transport Position. DO
NOT MOVE the quadrant control levers from these
positions.
Steering
10. Clean and coat the exposed steering cylinder rod with
grease.
Engine
11. Drain the engine sump oil, when hot if possible.
12. Change the filter element.
13. Refill the engine sump with an approved grade of oil.
14. Seal the crankcase breather, exhaust and air cleaner
pipes with adhesive tape after running the engine.
15. Clean the dry air cleaner unit.
1D-6
Cooling System
16. Drain the header tank, radiator and cylinder block,
when hot if possible and leave the taps in the open
position.
17. Rest the header tank cap on the filler neck.
Fuel System
18. Clean the fuel filter bowl(s), renew the elements and
drain any sediment out of the fuel tank.
19. Top up the fuel tank completely to prevent
condensation forming on the unfilled portion of the
tank, thus resulting in water contaminating the fuel.
20. Remove the injectors and spray approximately 2 ml of
engine oil into each cylinder bore. Using new joint
washers, refit the injectors and slowly rotate the
crankshaft one complete revolution. DO NOT bleed the
fuel system of air.
21. Lubricate the foot and hand throttle control linkage.
Clutch
22. Fully depress the clutch pedal and hold down with a
wooden chock. The clutch friction plates will then not
bond themselves to the flywheel or pressure plates.
Battery
23. Remove the battery from the tractor.
24. Check the electrolyte level and top up as necessary.
25. Clean the battery top and coat the terminals with
petroleum jelly.
26. Fully charge the battery from an external source.
27. Repeat the external charge every month during the
storage period and top up the electrolyte as necessary.
28. Store the battery in a cool, dry, dust free location but not
directly on a concrete or metal surface. There must be
no possibility of freezing.
Alternator and Starter Motor
29. Remove any dust or dirt from the alternator.
30. Smear the starter motor and solenoid terminals with
petroleum jelly.
Sheet Metal
31. All rusty, scratched or bare patches of castings and/or
sheet metal must be cleaned with abrasive papers and
repainted. Matching colours are available for all
Massey Ferguson tractors.
32. The bright metal components and surfaces must be
cleaned and/or degreased and the protectives
sprayed or brushed on.
