Massey Ferguson 573 Extra Coolant Notes
| Engine horsepower | 72 hp | 53.7 kW |
|---|---|
| Engine displacement | 4.4 L | 268.6 cu in |
| Capacity note | For the Massey Ferguson 573, the listed cooling system capacity is 12.5 gal | 47.3 L. Buy slightly more coolant than the exact capacity so you have enough for topping off after air burps out. |
| Mixture note | Use the coolant type listed above and match the antifreeze/water mix to the operator manual and local freezing conditions. |
| Radiator cap note | The radiator cap pressure listed for the Massey Ferguson 573 is 10 psi | 69 kPa. Do not replace it with a random cap unless the pressure rating matches. |
| Refill note | Refill slowly, run the tractor until warm with the heater circuit open if fitted, let it cool, then recheck the coolant level. Never remove a hot radiator cap under pressure. |
Massey Ferguson 573 Coolant FAQs
How much coolant does a Massey Ferguson 573 take?
The Massey Ferguson 573 takes 12.5 gal | 47.3 L of coolant. That is well above the normal utility tractor benchmark shown here, so treat it as a full cooling-system service job, not a quick top-up.
Is 12.5 gal | 47.3 L a lot of coolant for a Massey Ferguson 573?
Yes. For this tractor category, 12.5 gal | 47.3 L is well above normal. This is the sort of refill where you want all coolant on hand before draining, because stopping halfway through the job is annoying and messy.
How many coolant jugs do I need for a Massey Ferguson 573?
Do not underestimate this refill. A 12.5 gal | 47.3 L system needs about 13 one-gallon containers if you are using premixed coolant. If using concentrate at a 50/50 mix, plan on about 6.2 gal of concentrate and 6.2 gal of distilled water. In metric terms, that is roughly 10 x 5 L containers for a full premix refill.
What coolant should I use in a Massey Ferguson 573?
The listed coolant is 50/50 ethylene glycol-based coolant. Ethylene glycol tells you the base coolant, but the additive package still matters on diesel engines, so match the manual or an approved equivalent.
Can I use a different radiator cap on a Massey Ferguson 573?
The listed cap pressure is 10 psi | 69 kPa. Use the same pressure rating when replacing it. The cap is part of the cooling system, not just a lid, and the wrong rating can cause boil-over, leaks or pressure problems.
When should the Massey Ferguson 573 coolant be changed?
The listed interval is every 500 hours. Hour-based service matters most on working tractors that spend long periods hot under load.
Mistakes do happen. Coolant specs can change by year, engine, market, radiator option and coolant chemistry. Check the operator manual, parts book and official masseyferguson.com website before draining, flushing or refilling the cooling system.
