The T3 Diesel has been specifically designed for a powerful and forceful tractor pulling capacity. The dual high capacity fuel filters are much useful in fuel cleaning and oil refining. It provides both hand and foot engine throttle control for an easy regulating engine speed. It also provides hydraulic liquid functions like draft control, position control, response control, and a constant pumping system. The water-cooled oil-cooler effectively cools down the heated internal combustion engine for less fuel emission.

Method and Benefits of Filling Water in the Tyres
| The probability of tires to slip increases when the tractor is light and is operating on hard ground. It reduces the performance, which cause increases diesel consumption. Experiments show that proper tire grip on the surface, tractor performance increases by 10 to 25 percent. To increase the surface grip in the rear tires, filling water in the tires is recommended. Below is the method to fill water in the tires with a simple instrument.
Water Can Be Filled In the Tyre Using the Instrument

Proper Air Pressure in the Tyres and its Importance
In order to get proper performance out of the tractor, the proper air pressure in the tires is very important because engine power is wasted when the air pressure is low or high, and required productivity is not obtained, either. It is important for every tractor owner to have an air gauge and a manual air pump handy. Improper air pressure can cause the following harm:

Use the instructions below to maintain proper air pressure in Massey Ferguson tractors
VERY IMPORTANT If there is additional load on the front part of the tractor, as the front-end loader or front blade is used, inflate the front tires to 40 psi. Using oil or grease to clean the tires reduces their life. Water is sufficient to clean these. |

Battery Care of John Deere, New Holland and Massey Ferguson Tractor
Maximum benefit can be obtained from the battery by following the instructions described below.
Often farmers leave the engine running during meal breaks when the battery is weak, which wastes a lot of diesel. The tractor battery should always be well charged, because high power is required to start the engine. If the battery does not have the required power, the engine starts with difficulty, which also wastes diesel. |

Checking and Changing the Steering Oil and Filter
MF-350/260
Mechanical steering has been installed in this tractor, in which to check oil in the steering box, remove the plug located on the steering box. Make sure the oil is completely filled with oil. Replenish if the oil level is low and tighten the plug back on.

MF-385/375/385 4WD
Power steering has been installed in this tractor. To check the oil in this unit, remove the oil reservoir plug located next to the steering pump at front of the engine. If the oil trickles slowly out of the hole, place the plug back in and tighten. Replenish if the oil level is low.

| How to Remove Power Steering Oil
Remove the bolts located behind the steering box, remove the filter etc and drain the oil. How to Replenish Oil Remove the plug on the reservoir. Start the engine. Straighten the front wheels and then turn the steering clockwise one complete circle. Turn off the engine and replenish oil. Oil Capacity The steering pump reservoir in MF385/385 4WD can hold up to 2 liters of oil. Change the power steering oil with the filter after every 250 hours. |

Hydro-Static Power Steering System
|
This system is installed in the MF385/385 4WD tractors, which allows the driver/operator to control the steering system with ease. Hydro-static power steering system is a complete power steering system in which there is no mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the front wheels, which allows the steering wheel to be turned with only one or two fingers. This tractor is especially suitable for working with front-end loaders. In this oil system is supplied to the steering control unit through steering pump, due to which controlled quantity of oil reaches the right and left sides by the steering cylinder when the steering wheel is turned; and when the steering wheel is straight, the steering unit bypasses the oil supply.
|
 |
NOTE:Always use the reputable and reliable oil in MF350/260/375/385/385 4WD Tractors |
A. Neutral Oil Flow When Tractor is Moving Straight |
|
This is the neutral position of the steering unit. In this position the oil flows from the hydraulic pump to the steering unit, and because of the oil spool and sleeve hole being in straight position the oil returns to the steering pump. In this system two shock valves and two suction valves are fitted on the right and left sides of the steering unit. Shock valves are used between the steering rim cylinder and steering ring control unit to protect this system, whereas the suction valves are used to compensate any shortage of oil in the system.

B. Turning of the Steering when the Engine is Running |
|
On first movement of the steering wheel the right and left turning holes become straight with each other, so that oil can be supplied to the oil hand pump. Subsequently, the second movement turns the steering and the hand pump. Simultaneously, the hand pump measures the quantity of oil and pushes it back towards the spool and sleeve. The oil coming back enters the spool valve through the grooves, which connect the holes together straightly so that the oil could go to the direction in which the steering wheel was turned. With the spool valve and sleeve holes being face to face with each other, the oil coming back from the steering cylinder returns to the circuit. The relief valve between the inlet and the spool inside the steering unit, which protects against the high-pressure created inside the pump, for example, due to an obstruction while the front wheels are turning. From the steering pump to the steering unit, there is a check valve installed on the way. This is a one-way valve that prevents high-pressure while the steering is being turned.

C. Turning the Steering when the Engine is OFF |
|
The pump stops working when the engine is turned off, due to which the oil starts to pass through a bypass valve installed inside the steering unit between the supply and return holes. As the pump starts to function, the oil pressure shuts off the valve by pushing it onto its seat. When the pump cylinder is low, the oil returning from the steering cylinder towards the valve inlet side is bypassed. With the help of this function, the oil can move from one side to the other inside the steering cylinder to maintain uninterrupted steering control.

Checking and Changing the Transmission and Hydraulic Oil for tractor
- To check the transmission oil, it is important to park the tractor on a level surface and turn off the engine.
- Remove and clean the small gauge (dipstick) under the driver seat with a cloth.
- Reinsert and remove the gauge and hold it tilted to check the oil level. In case of low level, replenish the oil.
- If you plan to use the tractor only to plough or pull trolleys, then maintain the oil level anywhere in the zone marked on the gauge as XX, as shown in the picture labeled ‘B’. if you wish to use the oil in the gearbox to operate any external instruments, for example front blade and tipping trolley etc, then in that case the oil mark should be at the ‘Max’ level ‘C’; as shown in the figure.
Very Important
- You must have the transmission oil changed after hours from a reputable workshop.
- Not changing the oil allows the iron dust, mixed with the oil, to ruin the gearbox and the hydraulic system parts.
- After the first 600 hours, have the transmission oil changed by a recognized workshop.
- Changing the hydraulic oil after completing every 600 hours, and clean the hydraulic pump filter with diesel.
- MF240/350 has a capacity of 33 liters for the transmission/hydraulic oil, whereas MF260/375/385 can hold 36 liters, and MF385 4WD reservoir can hold 42 liters.
- For external hydraulic components in the MF240/350, the oil capacity is 36 liters, whereas 39 liters in MF260/375/385, and 45 liters in MF385 4WD.

Storing the Diesel
|
If diesel is to be stored in drums, then tilt the diesel filled drums as shown in the picture below. Front end of the drum must be 3 to 4 inches higher than its rear end, so that all unwanted deposits like sand, rust, dust settle at the back end, and clean diesel comes out from the front.
