Do you think I should be worried

[CowboyRam]

WE took our MF 1135 in to have the hydraulics worked on, and have the clutch replaced. This is what they found when the dropped the filter out of the tractor. I did notice that the last time I ran that tractor, if you push hard on the brakes you can hear some grinding, but I am not sure what side. Dad runs this tractor more than I do. The mechanic was going to clean out the filter then retest the pressures. Be fore they were only getting 7psi, I guess they are supposed to have 11psi.

It looks pretty bad to me.

I think the Marvel mystery oil will fix it no problem!!

I would be concerned.

Looks brass like a bushing, thrust washer, syncro, etc.

I wouldn't let that leave my shop until I knew where it was from, replaced it, all the debris was removed, oil and filter changed, and tested out.

No was I could stand behind my work if "I just cleaned the filter, put oil in and tested pressure".

That looks like a suction side hyd strainer. Does it not have a replaceable paper/fiber filter as well?

I don't know. I would think it should. I didn't take it apart. I also have not heard from them since they took that picture. They were going to make sure we had enough pressure before we went any father on this thing. They thought the charge pump was probably ok. I am hopeful that it is, getting parts for a 47 year old tractor might a challenge.

This!!

Something is broken. Needs fixed .
Changing the fluid ain't gonna fix it

Iam No mechanic but why would you put it together and run it more with that much metal in it? It sure aint right, tear it down before that metal goes thru more parts IMO.

 

[dcarp]

I agree with the above posts. Don't put it back together and run it. More damage will result. Keep looking for what caused that mess and fix it.

The mechanic wanted to make sure that the pumps was good. He is pretty sure it is in the transmission. I'm not sure we want to put that much money into a tractor that is almost 50 years old. I would hate pull it apart and not be able to find parts for it.

If it's like my Massey, that's the only hydraulic filter

Fixing it will likely be cheaper than another used tractor of unknown condition.

 

[Little Joe]

Fix it, old equipment and trucks is where it's at. Cheaper to repair and simpler, and for the most part more reliable.

 

[cfpinz]

That's gonna get ugly if left alone. Nolt's Equipment in Pennsylvania is where I'd start as far as parts go.

I have had good luck with Wengers in Meyerstown PA for older used parts also.

Why i never bought a tractor at auction and jockeys make my stomach turn.

Put some saw dust in it, and sell it on Craigslist.

Put some saw dust in it, and sell it on Craigslist.

Sawdust (lumber chips)
Hamburger

The parts to fix are probably cheaper than either of those right now...

 

[sim.-ang.king]

Saw dust is cheaper than having it repaired.

It is going to go down the road. We are in the process of looking for another loader tractor. I have a 2015 Massey Ferguson 6615 located in Colorado. It has 5400 hrs on it, but I think it is priced a little high; $59,000. It looks like a pretty clean tractor. We are going to go back to see if we can make a deal on it later this week.

I looked at a 5250 Case IH, and it was hammered; I could not get the front end to engage, and the grapple was not even hooked up. The seat was broken, the bucket was very wore. It looked like the maintenance was lacking. They wanted $37,000 for that POS.
