Richard Farrant Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 The part numbers are shown on the axle casing, so if anyone can confirm this please as I don't have those parts books. Hi Wayne, That axle housing is 165. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Farrant Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Wayne, looking at your attached photo, I think you have outboard drum brakes for the handbrake. Industrials tended to have two independent braking systems to satisfy C&U regs as it was often a highway vehicle. Some of the Industrialised 35 and 135 (MF20 I think), had two sets of shoes, one foot the other hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover8FFR Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 I'll take a chance and say there would be a lever on that shaft for the hand operated diff lock but I can't imagine why it would have had a hand lever and not a pedal. Although as previous I could be wrong... Hair Bear. Thanks. I only have a MF135 and 148 service manual to gleam info from at the minute, but I suspect it is where the diff lock pedal attached. I have an MF165 parts and service manual on the way from eBay which will help with the rear axle and brakes etc. I cannot believe how sparse the info is on this NF2203 model. I will keep looking out there and asking appropriate questions. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover8FFR Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 WAYNE is the missing lever/pedal for the diff lock ? Yes Wally I think it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover8FFR Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 According to my Operator Manual for the MF 2203 it is a hand operated Diff lock, push forward to lock it. OMG you have an Operators Manual? I have only just spotted this comment.... I now have document envy I thought it may be a pedal for the Diff Lock, and now its a lever...... Do you have a picture or image Snort? The plot thickens about info and differences to MF135 / 165's and the like. In the interim thanks for clearing that up.

Rover8FFR Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 Hi Wayne,That axle housing is 165. That's one thing confirmed at least. Also I am sure it had power steering originally, but I cannot establish if the farmer removed during its civi working life as yet. I will take some more pictures as to why I believe it had power steering soon. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
