I know this seems a bit dumb but I decided to give my 165 a real good workout with a plough yesterday. Used 3/4 tank diesel in 5 hours; now finished that job; the motor sounds good, but the multipower (which I used plenty) doesn't.

When engaged in low goes OK, but shift to high it is making strange sound and is not engaging quickly.

It is an early 1970's model with 212 Perkins, done about 5000 hours, mostly by previous owner. Motor is good, hydraulics getting tired - 3 point linkage struggles to lift 3 furrow plough when oil is hot.

Any ideas?

Davids point of checking the linkage is good. A
laymans way to adj. is to snap the lever upward
to high range. Then loosen the linkage clamp on the rod coming out of the trans and move rod to
it's lowest level,level the linkage clamp and
re-tighten. Not professional terms but has worked
on a few hundred tractors. Chuck

Hi,
Check that you have the correct amount of oil in the transmission.
Check the linkage between the MP lever and the point that it goes down into the gearbox casing for any loss of movement.
On the noise; The MP pump is driven by a plated drive unit mounted on the front of the Ferguson pump. Wear in the gears would cause noise as would a badly worn pump allowing the gears to run out of line. If you can remove the left hand side cover after draining the oil to the level of the bottom bolt and disconnecting the aux pipes you may be able to 'feel' your way forward to check if the pump is loose. The unit is held in place by special nuts on the front of the Ferguson pump which engage the rear plate of the drice unit which is retained by circlips on the nuts. These do come off or break occasionally.
If the pump assy is loose you will need to remove the cover to rectify it.
