Not trying to tell you what to do the MF178 is awesome. I get to drive one to but when your doing that you want low ratio gear 3 Then get the revs higher then what you had and put the leaver down and off you go Cause it needs a lot more torque

That's a lovely fergie Dan, I've never seen a four wheel drive one before, an appreciating piece of kit.

Hi. Im a farmer from South Africa. I also own a massey 178 but the 2x4. If you get wheel slip while subsoiling, then use your draft lever in down position. And your position lever in up position then the "auto depth control" kicks in.

Lovely old tractor and noticed it was a multi power, great invention but a lot of accidents with the free wheel in low multi on steeper ground up here in Scotland 🤔

Nice tractor, I drove a 2WD with a loader for a while, the power steering was weird it worked really well one way and hardly at all the other!

That's the valve out of adjustment. Not difficult to sort, just fiddly.

Is it easy to get parts for the front axle if you needed them? Looking to buy a 188 4wd

Don't know I'm afraid, I've never needed any.

It looks more like a MF 188 because of the center mounted 4x4 and wet brakes. Normally the 178 has dry brakes and 4 x 4 mounted as the 165 in left handside. But nice tractor. :-)

It's a factory built 4wd, left hand driveshafts were after market conversions. Square axle but still dry brakes.
