The scope of this Massey Ferguson MF 600 Series workshop manual extends well beyond routine maintenance. Each of the eleven parts is built around numbered operations that guide you through disassembly, inspection, repair, and reassembly in the correct sequence. Torque values, clearance limits, and adjustment procedures appear at the point of use, and special tool numbers are called out wherever they are required. The engine section alone covers three Perkins power units in detail, with full specifications, service limits, and step-by-step overhaul procedures for cylinder heads, pistons, liners, crankshafts, and balancer units. The hydraulic section explains the Ferguson system from first principles — draft control, position control, response control, and pressure control — and then takes you through pump servicing, lift cover removal, ram cylinder resealing, and the internal and external adjustment procedures that keep the linkage operating correctly.

IMAGES PREVIEW

For tractors equipped with four-wheel drive, Part 11 addresses the Category III and Category II front axles, including planetary reduction units, differential overhaul, crownwheel and pinion backlash setting, and the hydraulic clutch in the transfer gear box. The electrical section provides a full wiring diagram for the negative-earth system along with component-level test procedures for the alternator, battery, starter motor, and every switch and gauge on the tractor. The cab and sheet metal section covers everything from the front grille to the rear window frame, with removal and refitment procedures for panels, glass, seating, heater components, and trim.
