I take it the 1300 were genuine ,
And the 850 spurious ?
Id go with the genuine .
1300 was the price the mf dealers quoted me. For that money you would be expecting it to be genuine.

Doesn’t allow the engine to cool down either.Stopping without idling before hand also doesnt allow the turbo to cool down a bit, which can 'cook' the oil forming shellac like substance that can block oil galleries.
How did you get on after, sourcing a turbo?1300 was the price the mf dealers quoted me. For that money you would be expecting it to be genuine.

Have you tried Conaty or Ned Murphy tractor parts?
Those turbos would be a purchased part by Massey Ferguson, more than likely made by Garrett.
If you aren't caught for time and can locate a part number for the turbo, you stand a good chance of getting a genuine part from the original manufacturer, considerably cheaper than going through the main dealer.
Clifford Tractor Parts in BallymacElligott, County Kerry could well be worth a call too.I have rang murphys and they quoted me the same price that the dealership quoted.
I also rang conaty and before he left the phone down he said that there was two different garrett turbos for that tractor so I got no price from him.
I could do with the tractor working but I can manage away without it. Once things quieten down a bit I will get back to it.
