Massey Ferguson 3115 clutch bleed

[harryt2000]

Hi All, new to the forum and after some advice on an MF3115. I recently purchased it with a known clutch issue and that you have to pump the pedal in order for it to work. I believe I’ve found the problem with a pipe. I’ve sorted that and just wondering how to bleed it? It is a 1991 model.
Thanks in advance
Harry

There will be bleed screw at slave cylinder get person in seat and person with spanner at bleed screw. Push clutch down then slacken bleed screw slightly to let air out then tighten bleed screw and let clutch up. Repeat this until theres no air bubbles comin out and the clutch pedal feels correct

I can only find the master cylinder on it...any idea where the slave cylinder is?

Bleed nipple is on side of bell housing near the steps, cannot remember which side. Slave cylinder is inside the bell housing

Bleeding clutch on MF 3095

Hi there. I'm really struggling to bleed the clutch on my MF3095. I've read a couple of forums and have found the bleed nipple and done this numerous times but I can't get it to work. I've read about clamping the pipes but I'm not sure which pipes to clamp and can't find a picture of them...

I’ve read that post but I can’t find the bleed nipple on my machine, anyone know where it is?

Am I right in saying that the 31 had a pull clutch and not a push type or was that the 36? Is the flat face bleed nipple not on the R/H side same as 3000 series? @masseybreaker will know!!!

This explains it better, unless it's different on a 3115

Yes it was 3100 series with a pull type clutch. Iirc bleed nipple is in same place as 3000 series ie on th side of bell housing. Look on lh side of bell housing. You will see 2 hoses coming down from the bulkhead. Clamp some mole grips on the lower pipe to block it. This will force more oil through the master cylinder and down to the slave cylinder. You could also try slackening the pipe coming out of the master cylinder. You will probably get somec air out of there. Run engine at 1500 rpm and have oil hot.
