Engine stops unexpectedly during operation: Incorrect adjustment of fuel injection pump timing. Check the fuel injection pump timing adjustment. Dirty fuel filter. Clean or change the filter. Coolant temperature is low. Warm up the engine.

Diesel starts and then shuts off: Fuel filter plugging. Clean or change the filter. Fuel injection pump is faulty. Change or repair the pump. Clogged air filter. Air filter maintenance required.

Engine overheating: Defective radiator cap or clogged radiator core. Clean radiator or install new cap. Engine has a lack of coolant. Add coolant fluid and inspect the cooling system for leaks. Fan belt is broken or worn. Replace as required. Engine oil level is insufficient. Checking oil level and add if necessary.

Reduced engine power: Fuel injection nozzles fault. Clean or change injection nozzles. Fuel lines or hoses are dirty. Clean fuel hoses and lines. Air filter is dirty. Change air filter element. Cylinder head gasket is blown. Replace cylinder head gasket.

Engine knocking sound or abnormal noise: Low coolant temperature. Engine is not warmed up to the required temperature. Insufficient engine oil. Fill up the oil to required level. Incorrect adjustment of fuel injection pump timing. Set it up as required. Pistons are worn or scored. Replace the pistons as required. Connecting rod is misaligned or worn. Connecting rod must be aligned or replaced.

Engine stalls while idle: Low idle speed setting is not correct. Correct low idle settings. Valve clearance is wrong. Check and adjust as required. Fuel injection pump malfunction. Replace or rebuild injection pump.

Oil pressure is low: Engine oil level low. Checking oil level and add if necessary. Defective oil pump. Repair or replace. Oil filter is clogged. Replace or clean engine oil filter element.

Transmission is excessively noisy: Defective gears or improper backlash. Install new gears and adjust backlash properly. Worn or bent shift forks. Change defective shift forks. Damaged or worn shaft splines. Replace the shaft. Transmission fluid level is low. Fill the transmission housing to proper fluid level. Worn or broken bearings. Change the bearings. Transmission oil contamination. Change the oil.

Gears are hard to shift: Corroded or worn gear shift linkage. Install a new gear shift linkage. Worn or unadjusted clutch. Adjust or replace the clutch. Worn or bent shift forks. Install new shift forks. Gear shifting mechanism is defective. Defective parts must be replaced.

Insufficient transmission fluid pressure: Transmission fluid insufficient. Need to add transmission fluid. Clogged transmission oil filter element (if fitted). Clean or replace the transmission filter. Defective relief valve. Change the valve.

Transmission oil leakage: Worn seals or gaskets. Install new components. Transmission oil level is exceeded. Correct the oil volume.

Massey Ferguson 699 Hydraulic System Troubleshooting

Excessive hydraulic system heat: Hydraulic oil type is incorrect. Pour the correct type of oil. Hydraulic fluid contamination. Change hydraulic fluid. Air in hydraulic pipes. Bleed hydraulic pipes. Main relief valve failure. Replace relief valve.

Low hydraulic system pressure: Low hydraulic fluid level. Checking hydraulic fluid level and add if necessary. Hydraulic oil filter is clogged. Hydraulic filter maintenance required. Leaks in hydraulic lines. Check the system and repair leaks. Hydraulic spool valve is not set properly. Set the spool valve properly. Hydraulic pump is faulty. Repair or replace hydraulic fluid pump. Hydraulic cylinder is faulty. Repair or install a new hydraulic cylinder.

3-point hitch cannot be raised or raising is too slowly: Defective hydraulic pump. Repair or replace hydraulic oil pump. Faulty main relief valve. Relief valve must be changed. Defective hydraulic spool valve block. Repair or replace hydraulic valve. Defective hydraulic cylinder. Repair or change hydraulic cylinder. Hydraulic fluid level low. Checking hydraulic fluid level and add if necessary. Clogged hydraulic fluid filter. Replace filter element or clean if required. Heavy load on the hitch. Reduce the load is required.

3-point hitch won't lower or lowers slowly: Broken hydraulic cylinder. Repair or replace hydraulic cylinder. Not adjusted hydraulic control valve. Need to adjust. Hitch rock shaft is worn. Replace the shaft. Misadjusted hitch. Adjust 3-point hitch as required.
