SAFETY
The safety of the operator is one of the main concerns
in designing a new piece of equipment. Designers build
in as many safety features as possible. However, every
year many accidents occur which could have been
avoided by a few seconds of thought and a more careful
approach to handling equipment. You, the operator, can
avoid many accidents by observing the following pre-
cautions. To avoid personal injury, study the following
precautions and insist those working with you or for
you follow them.
In order to provide a better view, certain photographs
or illustrations in this manual may show an assembly
with a safety shield removed. However, the equipment
should never be operated in this condition. Keep all
shields in place. If shield removal becomes necessary
for repairs, replace shield prior to further operation.
SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL
FIG. A: This is the safety alert symbol. It means
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS
INVOLVED! Look for it, both in this manual and on
safety decals on the equipment. It will direct your at-
tention to information that involves your safety and the
safety of others.
SIGNAL WORDS
FIG. B: The words DANGER, WARNING or CAUTION SAF

are used with the safety alert symbol. Learn to recog- FIG. A
nize these safety alerts, and follow the recommended
precautions and safe practices.
DANGER indicates an imminently hazard-
ous situation that, it not avoided, will re-
sult in death or serious injury.
WARNING indicates an imminently hazard-
ous situation that , it not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates an imminently hazard-
ous situation that , if not avoided, could
result in minor or moderate injury.
Replace any DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION or instruc-
WC1957
tional decal that is not readable or is missing. The loca-
tion and part number of these decals is identified later FIG. B
in this section of the manual.
IMPORTANT: The word IMPORTANT is used to iden-
tify special instruction or procedures
which, if not strictly observed, could re-
sult in damage to, or destruction of the
machine, process or its surroundings.

chine correctly.
Do not let anyone operate this machine without thor-
ough instruction.
Beware of bystanders, particularly children!—Al-
ways look around to make sure that it is safe to start
the engine or move the Tractor. This is particularly im-
portant with higher noise levels as you may not hear I-3001
people shouting. FIG. 1
FIG. 2: No passengers allowed—DO NOT carry pas-
sengers anywhere on the Tractor or on any implement
or attachment connected to, or installed on Tractor.
Dismount and park Tractor in the correct manner—
When dismounting and/or leaving the operator’s seat
FOR ANY REASON always:
1. Disengage PTO drive.
2. Lower implements and attachments to ground.
3. Shut off engine.
4. Apply parking brake securely.
5. Select transmission lever(s) to neutral. I-3002

6. Remove the key. FIG. 2

WARNING: An operator should not use al-
cohol or drugs which can affect their alert-
ness or coordination. An operator on pre-
scription or ‘over the counter’ drugs needs
medical advice on whether or not he or
she can properly operate equipment.

1449560M1
 SAFETY - 3

FIG. 3: Roll-over protective structure (ROPS)—DO

NOT weld, drill or alter the ROPS. Damaged ROPS must
not be straightened or used. If damage does occur, con-
sult your Massey Ferguson Dealer and replace all dam-
aged parts.
If the ROPS is removed from the Tractor, for any
reason, it must be refitted immediately. Original bolts
or equivalent replacements must be used and tight-
ened to the correct torque.
DO NOT attach chains, ropes or cables to the ROPS
for pulling purposes as this will cause the tractor to
tip backwards. Always pull from the Tractor draw-
bar.
I-4989
Massey Ferguson does not recommend usage of Trac- FIG. 3
tor with ROPS removed.
Falling object protective structure (FOPS)—Ob-
serve all recommendations and instructions regard-
ing the installation of covers or roofs which are used
as SUNSHIELDS ONLY and do not afford the opera-
tor protection from falling objects.

FIG. 4: Seat belt usage—With ROPS installed, it is

imperative that seat belt be installed, used and correctly
adjusted at all times. Replace damaged seat belts.
DO NOT use a seat belt if operating with ROPS folded
down or removed.

I-3004

FOR ANY REASON, always:
1. Disengage PTO drive.
2. Lower implements, attachments to ground.
3. Shut off engine.
4. Apply parking brake securely.
5. Select transmission lever(s) to neutral.
6. Remove the key.

FIG. 6: Keep all shields in place—Rear PTO (Power

Take- Off) master shield, 1, must be correctly installed
at all times. PTO shaft cover(s) must be installed when
PTO drive line is not in use.
Always consult implement or attachment instruc-
tions—When implements or attachments are used
with the Tractor, always follow the safety precautions
listed in the appropriate operating instructions. 1

Do NOT use PTO adapters—PTO shaft adapters,

reducers and/or extensions extend the implement drive
shaft coupler and universal joint beyond the protec-
tion of the PTO master shield.
I-4990

FIG. 6

1449560M1
 SAFETY - 5

FIG. 7: Securely lock implement drive shaft—

Check that all Tractor and implement drive lines are in
good working order.
1
Implement drive shaft coupler, 1, must securely lock
to and be retained by annular groove on Tractor PTO
shaft.
Always disengage PTO and shut off engine—
Park the Tractor safely before:
Connecting or disconnecting the implement drive
shaft.
Adjusting the PTO drive line or PTO-driven machine.
Cleaning, unplugging or servicing PTO-driven machine. I-3007a

Reduce PTO speed slowly—When stopping any PTO FIG. 7

driven machine, idle the engine to reduce the PTO
speeds before disengaging.

FIG. 8: Pull only from the approved drawbar—Towing

or attaching to other locations may cause the Tractor
to overturn.
Use a chain with towed implements—A chain
connecting the tractor to the implement will help con-
trol pull-type equipment should it accidentally sepa-
rate from the drawbar.
Always attach the chain to the Tractor drawbar sup-
port.
Provide only enough slack in the chain to permit turn-
ing. See your Massey Ferguson Dealer for a chain
with strength rating equal to or greater than the gross
weight of the towed machine. I-3008

For towed equipment WITHOUT brakes, DO NOT tow FIG. 8

equipment at speeds over 20 mph (32km/h). DO NOT
tow equipment that, when fully loaded, weighs more
1.5 times the weight of the towing unit.
For towed equipment WITH brakes, DO NOT tow
equipment at speeds over 25 mph (40 km/h). DO
NOT tow equipment that, when fully loaded, weighs
more than 4.5 times the weight of the towing unit.
Stopping distance increases with speed and weight
of towed loads, and on hills and slopes. Towed loads
with or without brakes, that are too heavy for the
tractor or are towed too fast, can cause loss of con-
trol. Consider the total weight of the equipment and
its load.

1449560M1
6 - SAFETY

FIG. 9: Additional equipment—A fire extinguisher

and first aid box should be carried with the Tractor or
be kept readily available at all times. Consult your
Massey Ferguson Dealer.
Keep emergency telephone numbers for immediate
access.

I-3009

FIG. 9
OPERATION
Keep the Tractor properly maintained—Do not
operate a Tractor if it is broken or has missing parts.
Make sure that the maintenance procedures in this
operator’s book are completed before using the Trac-
tor.
Check all controls regularly and adjust where neces-
sary. Make sure that the brakes are evenly adjusted.
Periodically check all nuts and bolts for tightness,
especially wheel hub and rim nuts.

FIG. 10: Clear the area—Ensure that all bystanders,

particularly children, are away from the Tractor before
starting the engine.

I-3011

FIG. 10
FIG. 11: Never attempt to start the engine while
standing beside the Tractor—Always start the en-
gine from the operators seat with the transmission le-
ver and the PTO lever in neutral.
DO NOT bypass the starting circuit by shorting across
the terminals of the starter motor to start the engine.
This may cause the Tractor to move suddenly.
Periodically check starting circuit to make sure all
system components operate correctly.
If the starting system does not work, consult your
Massey Ferguson Dealer immediately.

I-3012

FIG. 11

1449560M1
 SAFETY - 7

FIG. 12: DO NOT use starting fluid—Starting fluid

must only be used when an ether-start aid is fitted as
original equipment by the manufacturer or when installed
by a Dealer as an approved accessory.
When Tractors are equipped with glow plugs or other
heating device, these MUST be removed prior to the
usage of starting fluid or ether-starting aid.
Use of starting fluid on engine equipped with glow
plugs can result in severe engine damage.
Make sure there is plenty of ventilation—Never
operate the engine in a closed building.
Always start and operate engine in a well-ventilated I-3013
area.
FIG. 12
If in an enclosed area, vent the exhaust to the out-
side.
Do not tamper with or modify the exhaust system
with unapproved extensions.

FIGS. 13 & 14: Adopt correct driving practices—

On models with independent brake pedals, keep the
brake pedals latched together at all times unless inde-
pendent braking is required. Never use independent brak-
ing during transport.
Always drive at a proper speed relative to local con-
ditions and ensure that your speed is low enough for
an emergency stop.
Reduce speed prior to turns to avoid the risk of over-
turning.
Keep speed to a minimum.
Avoid sudden uphill turns on steep slopes. I-3014

Always keep the Tractor in gear to provide engine FIG. 13

braking when going downhill. Do not coast.
Avoid sudden or heavy brake applications when op-
erating in wet, muddy or icy ground conditions, or on
loose surfaces such as sand or gravel.
Sudden or heavy braking during turns increases the
tendency to oversteer. This effect is more pronounced
with trailed equipment.
Keep a firm grip on the steering wheel at all times,
with the thumbs clear of the spokes when driving
the Tractor.

I-3015

FIG. 14

1449560M1
8 - SAFETY

FIG. 15: Be observant of the operating area and

terrain—Watch for holes, rocks, or other hidden haz-
ards. ALWAYS inspect area prior to operation.
DO NOT operate near edge of banks. Set-back dis-
tance from bank should equal, or exceed, the overall
height of the bank.
DO NOT operate on steep slopes as overturn may
result.
If necessary to cross a steep slope, avoid turning
uphill. Slow down and make a wide turn. Travel di-
rectly up or down the slope, never cross it. Keep the
heavy end of the tractor on the uphill side.
I-4988

FIG. 15
FIG. 16: Remain seated in operator’s seat—When
a ROPS is installed and the Tractor overturns, hold
the steering wheel firmly and do not attempt to leave
the seat until the Tractor has come to rest. Use the
seat belt with ROPS.
DO NOT leave operator’s seat when engine is run-
ning.

1449560M1
 SAFETY - 11

Hydraulic System
FIG. 21: Ensure that all hydraulic connections are tight.
Relieve all pressures before disconnecting hoses or lines.
Escaping oil under pressure can cause serious injury.
All fluids should be handled with care. If you are injured
by, or swallow, any fluid seek medical attention imme-
diately and show the label on the product.
Fluids escaping from a very small hole can be almost
invisible and they can penetrate the skin causing se-
rious injury. Keep hands and body away from pin holes
and nozzles which eject fluids under high pressure.
When checking for leaks always use a piece of card- I-3021
board or wood. Never use your hands to find a pres-
FIG. 21
sure leak.
If ANY fluid is injected into the skin, it must be at-
tended to by a doctor immediately.
When adjustments are being made or attachments
are being fitted to the Tractor or implement (whether
at the front or rear of the Tractor), the operator must
ensure that all persons are well clear before operat-
ing the hydraulics.
DO NOT use the Tractor hydraulics as a jack or hoist
when working on the Tractor or an implement. Al-
ways block securely.

Fuel System
FIGS. 22 & 23: Diesel fuel is flammable and must be
handled with care.
Never refuel or service the fuel system on the Tractor
while smoking or when near open flames or sparks.
Never refuel the Tractor while the engine is running.

TRANSMISSION SHIFT LEVER AND

CONTROLS - HYDROSTATIC
One shift lever is used to select a range of ground 4
travel speed through different gear reductions within
the drive train. A hydrostatic control unit (using a
control pedal and electric control button) allows infi-
nitely variable speeds, from zero to top speed, in each
range. 1
FIG. 61: Range Shift Lever, 1, is located to the left 2
of the operator’s seat, range lever provides two major
speed changes. 3
IMPORTANT: Tractor must be completely stopped I-7942
when shifting.
FIG. 61
Range Change Button, 2. Located on the right side
of the instrument panel, this button electrical over
hydraulic changes the position of the motor swash
plate, this also provides two speed changes. Tractor
can be moving when shifting.
Hydrostatic Control Pedal, 3. Located on the right
side of the platform and it actuates the hydrostatic
unit in forward or reverse travel direction.
Depressing the forward portion of the pedal moves
tractor forward, depressing the rearward portion of
the pedal moves Tractor rearward. As each move-
ment is progressively depressed, a corresponding in-
crease in ground speed of Tractor will be noticed in
the appropriate direction.
Returning pedal towards spring-loaded center posi-
tion, will slow Tractor and stop it when neutral posi-
tion is reached. When pedal is completely released,
Tractor should remain stopped with the pedal assem-
bly in neutral position.
Cruise Control Lever, 4. Located on the left side of
the steering wheel. This lever actuates hydrostatic
control unit for forward travel only. Move forward
pedal down until desired forward speed is achieved,
then move cruise control lever forward to hold this
speed. Move lever rearward to slow down and stop.
WARNING: Cruise control should only be
used in open spaces, without obstacles,
with unobstructed view or traveling on
road.
You should be thoroughly familiar with releasing cruise
control. See operation section.
NOTE: Do not move cruise control lever without first
moving the hydrostatic control pedal down-
ward in the forward position, to prevent me-

Lever stops, 3 & 4, can be adjusted within slot to
limit implement raising/lowering.
CAUTION: use position control lever, 1,
when attaching or detaching implement .
If equipped with draft control, move lower
lever, 2 fully forward when using posi-
tion control.
NOTE: When starting engine, ensure implement is
lowered to the ground and both levers are
fully forward. This reduces load on starter due
to hitch trying to raise when engine is cranked.

FIG. 77: Gear shift lever, 1, provides four gear selec-
tions. These gear selections are compounded by range
shift lever, 2. The range shift lever provides four major
changes in ground speed. Gear shift lever provides
smaller ground speed changes.

I-7933

FIG. 77
FIG. 78: Forward/reverse shuttle lever, 3, provides syn-
chronized changes in travel direction in each gear/range
combination. Reverse travel speed is slightly slower than 3
forward travel in the same gear speed selection.
CAUTION: Reduce engine speed before
changing travel direction. Tractors with

time.
CAUTION: Do not use one wheel braking
at high speed. Always latch brake pedals
together when Tractor is being trans-
ported. Make sure brakes are adjusted I-3071

evenly. FIG. 85
NOTE: When stopping or parking tractor be sure
brakes are locked. With transmissions of con-
stant mesh design or hydrostatic they have a
tendency to creep (particularly with cold oil).
CAUTION: Never start traveling with the
parking brakes applied, brake performance
will be effected as they heat up.
Reduce engine speed and depress clutch and brake
pedals. Position range shift lever and gear shift lever
in neutral positions. Latch brake pedals together, de-
press firmly and press downward on parking brake
pedal to lock brake pedals.
Allow engine to idle several minutes to allow even
cooling. Then turn main switch to “off” shutting off
engine. Lower three-point hitch and remove key from

THREE-POINT HITCH
Three-point hitch combines Tractor and implement
into one working unit. Implement position and raising
are controlled hydraulically. In addition, implement
weight and loads impose downward pressure at Trac-
tor rear wheels to increase traction.

Hitch Controls
2
FIG. 97: Control quadrant, to right of operator’s seat,
controls the system to provide the following hitch
control functions:
Position Control - Maintains hitch position at con-
stant height in relation to the Tractor. As position 1
control lever, 1, is moved rearward, hitch (and imple-
ment) are raised. Moving lever forward will lower hitch
to selected position. Each lever setting provides a
specific hitch (and implement) position.
Draft Control - Regulates hitch height to provide
constant draft, or “pull,” of ground engaging imple-
I-5000
ments (plows, subsoilers, etc.). Moving draft control
lever, 2, forward will provide deeper implement work- FIG. 97
ing depth. Moving lever rearward will provide a shal-
lower depth. As ground contours and/or soil condi-
tions change, the system will raise or lower imple-
ment as needed to keep even load on Tractor.
CAUTION: Use position control lever, 1,
when attaching or detaching implements.
Place draft control lever, 2, fully forward
when using position control.

FIG. 98: Lowering Rate Control - Knob, 3, controls

discharge rate of hydraulic oil to adjust lowering speed
of hitch and implement. Turn knob clockwise to slow
drop rate, counterclockwise to increase drop rate. Turn-

Using Position Control

FIG. 107: Type of Work - Attaching/detaching imple-
ments and other operations requiring implement to be
kept at constant height above ground. Also used with
tool bars having flexible row units and implements
equipped with gauge (support) wheels.

I-7902

FIG. 107
FIG. 108: Lever Positions - Move draft control lever,
2, fully down (not used). Use position control lever, 1, 4
to adjust hitch and implement position. 1
NOTE: Front lever stop, 3, can be set to contact posi-
tion control lever in implement work position.
This enables implement to be returned to identi- 2
cal position after hitch has been raised for turn-
ing, transporting, etc. Rear lever stop, 4, can
be set to limit raising height, if required.
To Begin Work - Align Tractor and implement in 3
field and move position control lever, 1, forward (to-
ward DOWN). Adjust implement height using posi-
tion control lever and set adjustable stops, 3 and 4,
I-5009
as desired.
FIG. 108
When Turning - Move position lever, 1, rearward (to-
ward UP) to raise implement. Finish turning and return
lever against stop to resume operation.
To Finish Work and Transport - Move position con-
trol lever, 1, fully rearward in quadrant.

FIG. 109: Lowering speed can be readjusted as neces-

sary using lowering rate control knob, 5.
CAUTION: When using mounted implements
with PTO driveline, make sure:
PTO drive shaft has minimum 2” (51 mm)
engagement of telescoping sections, at
all hitch/implement positions.
Hitch height during raising does not bind
drive shaft universal joints due to extreme
drive shaft angles. Limiting raising height
may be required.
PTO drive is disengaged during transport . 5

Using Draft Control

FIG. 110: Type of Work - When ground-engaging imple-
ments such as plows, subsoilers, cultivators, etc. are
used.
NOTE: Refer to “Rear Linkage” (fig. 90) for locking
pin details.
CAUTION: Do not use draft control when
precise hitch positioning is required (at-
taching/detaching implements for ex-
ample). Using draft control on non ground-
engaging implements should not be at-
tempted.
I-7902a
FIG. 111: Lever Positions - Use position control lever, FIG. 110
1, to raise and lower implement and use draft control
lever, 2, to adjust implement working depth and system
sensitivity in soil. 4
1
Position control lever, 1, can also be used to prevent
excessive lowering of hitch when low draft areas
(sandy soil) are encountered.
NOTE: Adjustable lever stops, 3 and 4, can be set to 2
contact position control lever in implement
work or raised positions. This enables imple-
ment to be returned to identical setting after
hitch has been raised for turning at field ends. 3
To Begin Work - Align Tractor and implement in
field and move position control lever, 1, forward (to I-5009
DOWN) while driving Tractor forward, lowering imple-
ment. Then adjust draft control lever, 2, until correct FIG. 111
working depth is maintained.
When Turning - Move position control lever, 1, rear-
ward to raise implement and permit completion of
turn. Return implement to work position by selecting
position control lever to previous position against stop.
To Finish Work and Transport - Pull position con-
trol lever rearward fully to up setting.

FIG. 112: Lowering speed can be readjusted as neces-

sary with lowering rate control knob, 5.
NOTE: Changes in soil texture or ground speed of
unit may require slight readjustment of draft
control lever to maintain consistent working
depth as these can have a direct influence on
implement draft load.
If erratic operation is encountered, turn lower-
ing rate control knob, 5, clockwise to slow. Low-
ering top link attaching location on Tractor will
also decrease sensitivity.

EXTERNAL AUXILIARY HYDRAULICS 1

(ACCESSORY)
2
Auxiliary hydraulics can be Dealer installed to operate
implements requiring external hydraulic source for op-
eration. Kits are available as single-spool (one auxiliary
circuit) or two-spool (two hydraulic circuits).
FIG. 114: Control lever, 1, controls implement raising/
lowering when first set of remote couplers are used.
Control lever, 2, controls implement when second set
of remote couplers are used (two-spool kit only).
Control lever(s) are spring-loaded to center neutral posi-
tion, from normal raise or lower positions. I-5014

FIG. 115: Remote couplers are located at rear of Trac- FIG. 114
tor, above three-point hitch. Rear location shown.
Coupler set, 1, corresponds with control lever, 1 (Fig.
115), coupler set, 2, with control lever, 2 (Fig. 115).
Implement hoses must be connected to each coupler
set so when respective control lever is pulled rear-
ward, implement raises and, when pushed forward,
implement lowers. Male coupler tips (on implement
hoses) must be compatible with Tractor couplers and 1
must also be inserted fully and locked into Tractor
couplers to operate correctly.
CAUTION: Always lower implement to 2
ground, shut off engine and relieve sys-
tem pressure (by operating control levers I-5015
with engine off) before connecting or FIG. 115
disconnecting implement hoses.
CAUTION: Make sure all hydraulic hoses,
couplers and cylinders are in good condi-
tion before use. Damaged equipment can
be hazardous to use.
FIG. 116: Most implements require, double-acting hy-
draulics. Each implement cylinder will have two hoses
connected to it.
When single-acting service is required (cylinder with
only one hose), the upper “A” coupler will be used
and selector function, must be turned to the left.
NOTE: For normal double-acting operation selector
function must be turned to the right. I-5016

An optional joystick control (single lever operating FIG. 116

two spools) is available to control the two spool aux-
iliary control valve and provides two double-acting hy-
draulic circuits with rear mounted couplers.

1449560M1
58 - OPERATION

DRAWBAR
FIG. 117: Drawbar, 1, at rear of Tractor allows pull-
type implements to be attached to Tractor. Maximum
vertical load on drawbar must not exceed 880 lbs (400
kg).
CAUTION: Pulling heavy loads will require
extended braking distances. Reduce travel
speed.
Make sure attachment is properly secured and safety 1
chain is used.
NOTE: When using three-point hitch, it may be nec-
essary to remove drawbar by removing clip I-7967
and pin and sliding drawbar from bracket to im- FIG. 117
prove operating clearance. This is particularly
true with mounted implements using PTO drive.

ROLL OVER PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE

(ROPS)
FIG. 118: These tractors are equipped with fold-down
ROPS which can be folded down and tractor function-
ally used in that condition for low clearance situations
such as orchards, vineyards, barns, and chicken houses,
etc. When ROPS is lowered, seat belts must not be
worn.
Always raise ROPS into fully erect position at earliest
possible time and then seat belts must be worn. ROPS
must be maintained in this fully raised position at all
times unless practical operation of tractor dictates oth-
erwise as described above. I-7949

FIG. 118
WARNING: If ROPS is damaged during op-
eration, do not weld, drill, bend or
straighten. Make sure all components are
in correct working order to provide the
intended protection.
Only original bolts and pins, or equivalent
replacements, must be used and tightened
to the correct torque value. Make sure
both “hinge” joints are properly secured.

Air-Bleeding Fuel System

If any of the following conditions have occurred, sys-
tem should be bled:
• Fuel tank has been permitted to run dry.
• Fuel lines, filter element(s) and other components
within system have been disconnected or removed.
• If engine has not been operated for a considerable
period of time.
• If engine fails to start, or if it starts but stops again
after a few minutes of operation.

FIG. 142: Make sure fuel tank is full to provide gravity

flow of fuel to filter. Turn valve, 2, on fuel filter to AIR
position (handle to front).

NOTE: Normally, further air-bleeding is not required
due to electric fuel pump operating when main
switch in instrument panel is ON.
If engine will not start after several attempts,
check fuel pump fuses (see “Electrical Sys-
tem”).
Fuel Tank Filler Cap
When fuel tank filler cap is removed, a hissing or
popping noise may be noticed. This is due to cap
design and is a normal condition. Do not alter cap or
use unapproved replacement as fuel leakage may
occur in event of Tractor upset.
Throttle Lever
FIG. 143: Hand throttle lever should remain in position
selected by operator. Through normal use, friction against 1
lever may decrease, causing lever to move out of se-
lected position. Turn adjusting nut, 1, as required to re-
tain throttle lever in position selected.
NOTE: Throttle lever friction adjustment is accessed
by removing rear steering column cover. I-3131

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Battery
FIG. 144: Battery, 1, is located under engine hood in
front of radiator. If battery requires only minor servic-
ing or charging, it is recommended that hood side pan-
els be removed to access battery. 1
When battery removal, electrolyte inspection or cable
cleaning is necessary, front grille must be removed
from Tractor.
Keep top of battery clean and ensure cable connec-
tions are clean and tight. Debris on battery can cause
discharge of battery and possible source of fire. I-5258

FIG. 144
DANGER: Batteries produce explosive hy-
drogen gas when charged. Keep all sparks
and open flame away from battery.
When necessary to disconnect battery cables, always
disconnect the grounded (-) cable first to prevent short
circuits.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid electrolyte (fluid). Wear
eye and face protection. If electrolyte comes in con-
tact with skin or clothes, wash immediately. Contact
physician if electrolyte is ingested or gets in eyes.

FIG. 145: Tractors are shipped with battery installed.

If battery replacement should become necessary, dis- 2
1
connect negative (-) cable, 1, first and then remove posi-
tive (+) cable, 2. Loosen and remove battery securing
clamp and carefully remove battery from Tractor.
When installing battery, cable, 2, connected to starter
solenoid should be connected to positive (+) battery
terminal first then cable, 1 , grounded to Tractor frame
can be connected to negative (-) battery terminal.
NOTE: Make sure replacement battery is of identical
size and equal capacity.
IMPORTANT: Do not reverse battery cable connec-
tions as severe electrical system dam- I-5305
age will result. FIG. 145

1449560M1
 LUBRICATION & PERIODIC MAINTENANCE - 73

FIG. 146: Water normally need not be added to bat-

tery as battery is of maintenance-free type.
However, electrolyte level should be inspected and must
be maintained between upper limit, A, and lower limit, A
B. DO NOT overfill as electrolyte will spill and cause
corrosion. Add only distilled water to individual “cells,”
when required.
IMPORTANT: To mix electrolyte and distilled water,
Tractor must be operated or battery B
charged. Failure to mix will result in fro-
zen battery in low temperatures.
Should battery performance be questioned, the bat-
tery should be removed and recharged from an exter- I-3135
nal source following battery charger instructions. FIG. 146
Repeated battery charging or electrolyte usage may
be due to a defect in Tractor charging system and/or
a defective battery.
NOTE: When charging battery from an external
source, battery temperature must not exceed
125° F (54°C) If overheating occurs, charge
rate must be reduced or halted.

Starting Switches
This Tractor is equipped with a neutral-start system
consisting of neutral switches and a relay. To start
Tractor, ALL the following is required:
• Gearshift lever must be in neutral position
• PTO control switch must be OFF
WARNING: DO NOT bypass or modify the
neutral switch system. If the neutral start
system does not operate properly, con-
sult your Dealer immediately.
Wiring/Fuse Arrangement
CAUTION: Keep all wiring connections clean
and tight . Make sure wiring is correctly
secured to prevent damage.
CAUTION: DO NOT alter wiring by adding
“homemade” extensions or replacements.
Doing so can eliminate fuse protection
and/or eliminate safety features of the
system.
CAUTION: Tractor is equipped with nega-
tive (-) ground system. Tractor metal parts
provide many electrical connections. For
this reason, all positive (+) circuits must
be insulated to prevent “grounding” or
short circuits and prevent possible fire.
CAUTION: DO NOT replace any fuse with
a fuse of higher amperage rating. DO
NOT use wire (or foil) to bypass fuse
protection. Fire can result.
If fuses blow repeatedly, examine electri-
cal system for “grounded” or “shorted”
circuits.

102 - FEDERAL EMISSION WARANTY

OWNER’S MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR RESPONSIBILITY

As the engine owner, you are responsible for the proper use and maintenance of this engine, as specified in the
Owner’s Manual.
AGCO reserves the right to deny coverage under this warranty if the owner has not properly maintained
the engine.
You should keep the original purchase receipt (with the date of initial purchase), and all repair receipts and
maintenance records, and transfer them to any subsequent owner.
However, AGCO will not deny warranty repairs solely for the lack of receipts or your failure to document the
performance of all scheduled maintenance.
Subject to the limitations above, non-warranty maintenance or repair of emission control parts on this engine
may be performed by the owner, or by any repair establishment or individual, without affecting coverage
under this warranty; however, warranty repairs must be performed by a dealer or service center
authorized by AGCO or the manufacturer of this equipment.
The use of parts that are not equivalent in performance and durability to genuine parts may impair the
effectiveness of the emission control system and prevent coverage under this warranty. If non-genuine parts
are used for maintenance or replacement on this engine, you should assure yourself that such parts are
warranted by their manufacturer to be equivalent to genuine parts in performance and durability.
OBTAINING WARRANTY SERVICE
All repairs qualifying under this limited warranty must be performed by a dealer or service center
authorized by AGCO or the manufacturer of this equipment.
To obtain warranty service, take your engine to the nearest dealer or service center authorized by AGCO or
the equipment manufacturer. If available, bring the original purchase receipt (showing the initial date of
purchase) and all available maintenance records. The authorized dealer or service center will perform the
necessary repairs or adjustments within a reasonable time and furnish you with a copy of the repair order.
AGCO wants to ensure that you receive all the services to which you are entitled under this warranty. If you
need assistance in locating the nearest authorized dealer or service center, or have any questions about this
warranty, you may contact the AGCO warranty representative at:
