Aye it was the easiest way to drive the barrow for the job I'm using it for. 10 minutes would have it back on a tractor doing it's intended job.
As for the disc, I think they came with Massey stickers as well or so I was told if that's any help.

10-1-1-4-1-2-1-1, get the Q on a treble if possible. Qashqai would be better.

Once again it's that time of the year,
Open the Ford up and see what's wrong.
In fairness to it it's never been split and the flex plate is breaking up. It started leaking oil, a lot of oil during the harvest and a local authority on these 40 series categorically stated it was the flex plate failing was the issue. He was correct. Over 12k hours on it now. One of the packs in the front is I reckon within a thousand hours of failing also. The teeth are gone sharp on the friction discs. If you zoom in on the last picture you'll see what I mean. The teeth should be square with sharp corners.

Is that the forward/reverse hub.

It's a manual shuttle tractor. Tbh I'm not sure what the second pack does. The worn one is I assume the clutch.

There was no manual shuttle in those from memory, even the sl had F/R clutch packs

Mechanical shuttle I should have said. I don't see why it would need a forward and reverse pack but I'm open to correction on that.

If you press the button on the F/R lever you can change without pressing the clutch pedal.

True but there's still a clutch pack disengaged to allow the direction change. I was asking yer man who I got the parts off about it today and he said there's a much bigger pack further into the gearbox that acts as the clutch.

How many MF combines is that now.....a Wexican combine too? I do recall seeing a MF 625 Super 2 parked up in a shed very near to the rock of Dunamase that hadn't been used in several years. I bought a drill from him and he reckoned no one but the Byrnes would be interested in the 625 but it looked OK to me.
