Transmissions
8 x 2 Manual gearbox .. ...................................................... The eight speed Manual gearbox has 8 forward and 2
reverse speeds. This is achieved by using a four forward
and one reverse gearbox, no synchromesh is provided.
This is compounded by a two speed range gearbox and
controlled by centre shift levers. Reverse is available in
high and low ratio.
Number of gears forward ................................................ 8.
Number of gears reverse ................................................ 2.
18 x 6 Speedshift gearbox .................................................. The 18 Speedshift gearbox has 18 forward and six
reverse speeds. This is achieved by using a three
forward and one reverse speed gearbox with
synchromesh on all gears. This is compounded by a
three speed range gearbox to give nine forward and
three reverse speeds. At the front of the gearbox there
is an electro/hydraulically operated Fast/Slow Speedshift
unit which doubles the number of speeds to 18 forward
and six reverse.
Number of gears forward ................................................ 18.
Number of gears reverse ................................................ 6.
12 x 12 Shuttle gearbox ...................................................... The 12 x 12 Shuttle gearbox has twelve speeds forward
and reverse. This is achieved by using a four-speed
gearbox, compounded by a three-speed range gearbox
to give twelve speeds. A forward/reverse unit is situated
in front of the gearbox, all gears are synchromesh. A
creeper attachment is available with this transmission
with a reduction ratio of
4.7 : 1.
Number of gears forward ................................................ 12.
Number of gears reverse ................................................ 12.
12 speed shuttle creeper gearbox...................................... The creeper reduction unit is a self contained set of
gears mounted in the front section of the gearbox above
the forward and reverse shuttle gears.
Application....................................................................... Tractors fitted with 12 speed shuttle gearbox.
Speed reduction ratio ...................................................... 4.7 : 1.
Number of creeper speeds ............................................. 4.

12 x 4 Synchromesh gearbox............................................. The 12 x 4 synchromesh gearbox has 12 forward and 4


reverse speeds. This is achieved by using a three
forward and one reverse gearbox with synchromesh on
all gears. This is compounded by a two speed range
gearbox to give six speeds which is further doubled by a
manual selector lever situated to the right of the drivers
console. Reverse is available on all gears.
Number of gears forward ................................................ 12.
Number of gears reverse ................................................ 4.
8 x 8 Shuttle gearbox .......................................................... The 8 x 8 Shuttle gearbox has eight speeds available
forward and reverse. This is achieved by using a four
speed gearbox compounded by a two speed range
gearbox to give eight speeds. A shuttle lever to the left
of the steering wheel provides easy forward to reverse
gear changing.
Number of gears forward ................................................ 8.
Number of gears reverse ................................................ 8.
Range gearbox .................................................................... The range gearbox is directly bolted to the rear of the
main gearbox forming an integral unit. It is fitted with
either a two or three speed unit. It also provides the drive
to the front four-wheel drive axle.

TRACTOR IDENTIFICATION

TL 3518

Fig. 3

SERIAL NUMBERS - TRACTOR


The serial number of the tractor forms a very important
part in the identification of the tractor, when it was made
and the components included in its build. The serial
number MUST always be quoted when communicating
with Massey Ferguson or the Dealer.
The location of serial numbers and serial number plates
are shown in Fig. 3. The serial number is stamped on the
right-hand side of the front support casting (1 Fig. 3) and
detailed in Fig. 4. This information is repeated on a serial
number plate located on the rear of the tractor (2 Fig. 3),
and detailed in Fig. 5.
The cab compliance and serial number plate is located at
the rear of the cab (3 Fig. 3). The front four-wheel drive
axle serial number plate is fixed to the rear right-hand side
of the axle (4 Fig. 3), and detailed in Fig. 7.
The tractors are numbered systematically and the
number gives information on machine build, engine, TL 3637
transmission, when it was built and year of manufacture.

The serial number information is as follows:

TRACTOR IDENTIFICATION AND HEIGHT – CAB TRACTORS


The 4200 series tractors come in various types starting with the 'Standard Tractor'. This has a standard cab with a flat
floor and standard roof with the heating and ventilating system installed, the hood is a normal type and size. The cab is
set at two heights depending on the model and size of the rear wheels. The basic structure of all the cabs are the same
size from the six cylinder down to the three cylinder.
The next type is similar to the first with a sloping hood used for loader and front mounted implement work.
The third type is called 'Lo-Profile', the cab is set lower on the chassis and in the cab there is a tunnel around the
transmission. This build only comes with a sloping hood. As an option, it can be fitted with a flat roof which further
reduces the overall height of the tractor.
The last and fourth type is for tractors with three cylinder engines, it is only available with the Lo-Profile cab and sloping
hood, the cab is set lower for the small wheels. It is also available with a four cylinder engine (4225). These models are
available with a standard or flat roof cab for working in low buildings.
The following illustrations show the visual differences between the types of build and the changes in height depending
on model and tyre size. The height of cab controls the size of fuel tank fitted.

*** NOTE: Use these values when any of the following conditions exist:
1. Possible damage to the joined members of the assembly may occur.
2. Thick and/or highly compressible gaskets are used between members.
3. Non-flat unmachined seating surfaces for bolt head (or nut) occurs.
4. Non-flat or non-parallel joint faces are encountered.

**** NOTE: Use these values when ALL of the following conditions exist:

2. It is desirable to use this higher clamping force to ensure tightness.
3. Fastener thread is not lubricated prior to assembly.
