Massey Ferguson 253 And Box Blade

[@travisricks3436]

Can’t beat a Massey Ferguson! I have a 1998 MF 231 and love it!

[@StNixFarms]

I really like this tractor.

[@phillip745]

Can you go over the draft and lift levers? Also how to level a brush hog and finishing mower . Thanks.

[@StNixFarms]

I level front to rear with the top arm of 3 point hitch and right to left with the adjustable arm of 3 point hitch.

I have a massey ferguson 253 with a front end loader. I bought the tractor used about 1 year ago. I have been looking for a paper service maunal for my tractor. Any ideas where to find one?

[@StNixFarms]

There are some online, but you may have to pay for them.

[@travisricks3436]

Are parts easy to get for this tractor?

[@StNixFarms]

Some yes but also some no. I needed an exhaust manifold and ended up having to have mine welded.

[@travisricks3436]

@@StNixFarms same as my 231. Some parts are readily available and some are no longer in production.

I have that same tractor, but my box blade keeps wanting to dig in or if I raise the blade just a fraction it comes up to high! What adjustment do you have yours set to?

[@StNixFarms]

Jim I’m back and forth the same as you.
