    what is this ?

    This might be a stupid question but what is the metal rod with a loop on the end that is situated right behind the shuttle shift lever. Far as I can tell it does't do anything. But I'm sure it's there for a reason. Ok, I'm ready to feel foolish now, ha! Thanks, Mark

    floating toplink?

    Thanks for the ideas so far. Do you think one of those 3 point quick hitch adapters would work? Kind of a Y shaped gizmo that goes between the top link and the implement.

    Hello, I have an M5660 that I want to use a 3pt no till drill(Genesis) with. Beings it is a 3ph drill I would like to have a way to make it float some. On some other forum I saw a slotted top link that would allow it to float some. It was for a Mccormick 250 they said. But I am not able to...

    Hey guys, I lost my fuel cap the other day; yep, forgot to put it back on after refueling. Retraced where i went but could not find it. Anyway, I called my local dealer and they want 30 dollars for one. It won't break the bank but, the principal, you know. Anybody have any more reasonable...

    3 pt lever problem

    Hello folks, I have a M5660 SU . It only has 54 hrs. on it. Last time I used it the 3 pt lever started malfunctioning. It will not stay in the raised position. If I let go of it, it will go right back down and the implement with it. If I hold it up manually the implement will stay up...

    First 50 hour service overkill?

    So if I want to reuse my hydraulic oil (50qts) do you think a Mr. Filter would be a good way to filter it? Any tips or tricks are welcome. Thanks, Mark M5660 / gear tranny/ shuttle shift

    hydraulic filters change (M5660)

    I have the M5660 and I'm wanting to change the hyd. filters without replacing the oil. Does anyone know how much I have to drain out so that no more leaks out when removing the filters? I figure I can catch it in a clean tub and put it back in using a filter(Mr. Filter?) of some sort to insure...

    oil change on M5660?

    I have an M5660 and I was ready to change oil today. I noticed that the oil sump is split because the front drive shaft runs through it. There does appear to be a drain plug on each side which would make sense. But the owners manual makes no mention of a split sump or extra drain plug. Is...

    3 pt hitch won't go down

    Ok, sound good. Just wanted to make sure because it's still under warranty, so didn't want to tell them the wrong thing. Hopefully I can fix it myself if it's the feedback linkage. If not, I guess I'll have to call the dealer.

    3 pt hitch won't go down

    So do you think the fact that I had left it in the raised position for 2-3 days had anything to do with it, or is that just a coincidence?

    3 pt hitch won't go down

    3 pt hitch won't go down

    I purchased a new M5660SUHD in May 2017. It now has only 38 hrs. on it. I used it for a couple hrs. the other day for some fel work. I put it away and went home that evening(75 miles away). Later that night it dawned on me that I didn't let the 3ph down when I parked it. It kinda bugged me but I...
