Before you can open the hood on a Massey Ferguson tractor, you will need to make sure the tractor is in neutral and the parking brake is engaged. Next, stand on the side of the tractor with the brake and clutch pedals and locate the hood release lever. This is usually located to the right of the steering wheel and is typically highlighted with a red or orange label. Pull the release lever up to unlock the hood and then lift the hood to access the engine.
