Hello.
I have an 82 mf 250.multipower. it's great.torquey little beast.
I have a light which has started to come on more frequently. Is it an air cleaner or hydraulic light.
Air cleaner is clean.
Here is a picture.
Thanks.

hi ,from memory i think the warning light you are showing has 2 functions,1 the air cleaner and 2 the rear transmisson,ie the back end filter ,do you know when it was last cleaned rear oil changed ?

Yes it is the air cleaner warning light BUT the bigger tractors at that time had the hyd filter blockage indicator linked to the same light it was a case of disconnecting the wire to the hyd filter to determine which filter was the problem the wire comes up the rh side of casing near where the transmision dipstick is . @MF-ANDY has a better memory than me.

Ok super. Interestingly the hydraulics are a bit judders when cold.light goes off after an hour or so. The filter underneath was changed bout cant remember years ago.could be that then.?

Why does it get bunged up. always clean oil going in,no crap falls in,is it just a very fine gauze type thing? and,is it just specific to the 200 range. i have a 135 which doesnt have it or is it internal on those ones. thanks.

Ohh and 1 more thing please,what is the capacity of the backend, Multi power works good btw.

Yes its a fine gauze type even with the utmost cleanliness when toping up the oil will eventually be contaminated with very fine particles worn from the gearbox and back end. The symptoms you describe with hydraulics being slow and hesitant when its cold point to the hyd filter more so with the light going out as the oil warms up. Am beat with the oil capacity sorry.

It was only the later 500 and 200 series that had the extended filter and warning light but as there wasn't a space for a separate light on the dash it was piggy backed into the air filter light. The 600 series had a dedicated light
