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 !

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
