Maintenance of Radiator and Oil Cooler in Massey Ferguson Tractors

TPK Admin Tractor Care Tips
Just like the radiator, to cool the oil with air, there is an oil cooler installed in the MF260. In the MF375S/385/385 4WD, oil is cooled with an oil cooler that uses water instead of air.

The radiator and oil cooler grills in the MF260 should be checked frequently. If foreign object / debris is found stuck on them; clean with compressed air or water with less than 100 Psi pressure. When cleaning the grills, make sure the side panels are removed so the dust and debris stuck on them could find a way out. Always use the air / water pressure from behind the grills, so the garbage could be pushed out from the front. Never use diesel to clean the grills. Simple soapy water is enough for cleansing.

TPK Admin Tractor Care Tips

The most important task in maintenance of the tractor is changing the engine oil on time. Change the oil according to the prescribed schedule in the maintenance booklet. Check the engine oil level daily before starting work.  There are two marks on the dipstick; MIN is written on one and MAX at the other. The engine oil level should never be less than MIN or higher than MAX. The tractor must be parked on a level plane when checking the oil level.  When changing the oil follow the instructions given in the booklet for changing the oil; change the oil filter as well.

Important instruction about the (John Deere/ New Holland/ Massey Ferguson) tractor engine

TPK Admin Tractor Care Tips
Optimum performance of the engine depends on its proper use and good maintenance. Proper selection of engine speed and gears is essential for proper use.
 
Proper selection of engine speed and gear can reduce the diesel expense up to 15%. Since the engine continues to consume diesel when running without being used, do not keep the engine running idly for longer periods of time. It is better to shut off the engine and restart when needed again.
 
It has been commonly observed that 75% of the tractors malfunction or breakdown prematurely due to carelessness in maintenance.
