I am going to go out on a limb here and guess your tractor is a diesel , coming from the UK. I ran MF 165 diesel tractors as a youth , and I found that if the tractor has the spin on fuel filter , it is not a big deal to swap the filter and bleed the system , but, if you have the CAV, style filter ,whole new story. The filter assembly has to be leak proof , if it can suck any air ,it will, and the tractor will die after about the period of time you have stated. You can get an adapter kit , so that you can go to a spin on style fuel filter for the 165 Massey. It will cut your frustration level. If the clutch is slipping , it is probably more than just an adjustment to cure. I would guess your tractor will need to be split, and it would be guess work to say what you might find.May need a new clutch assembly , and throw out barring , and the fly wheel may need to be turned . Always a good idea to check the ring gear for wear, and perhaps turn it around , so the starter can wear the other side of the teeth. While your tractor is split , it is a good time to check to see if the main barring seal is leaking oil, and it should be changed if it is. A leaking seal on the main barring , could leak enough oil into the clutch to cause it to slip. So , as I stated , pure guess work until the tractor is split. Best of luck !
