More brake woes!!
During the end of last year I replaced the slave cylinder seals on the 1200 thanks to now being able to obtain the appropriate rubber seal kits, however my attention now has turned to the master cylinder that was loosing brake fluid gradually over a period of time!
These master cylinders are very difficult to obtain now but not impossible! But they command an eye watering price should you find one, but fortunately when I stripped this one out the barrel was in good order and no corrosion present! As it has not been allowed to. Sit with no fluid in it for long periods!.
So my evenings this week has been took up with this very task.
Removing the fork linkage from pedal in cab was a little fiddly probably less so if I removed the seat!? But this presents other problems so any experience in being an contortionist would be more than handy especially as I'm 6 ft and 17 stone!!
The followi pictures are of the work carried out this week over several short evenings!
once again MF parts guru David at Galaxy Horseboxs supplied the new girling seal kit, also available now is the diff lock seals!!
regards Colin

where is this recycling place? I have a 760 and am looking for a sheet metal grain tank cover like the one on the 860,865. However, I am from Germany, which certainly makes things more difficult

Hi Colin! I'm make modifications for the Farming Simulator game, and would love to make one of these as a project. Is there any chance you could get me some up measurements of your 24? Thanks.
Hello, I have read with interest the story of your MF515.
I have an MF 187 which is in running order and has cut a few acres this year. I am near Andover and have great interest in old combines.
