Capacity note
For the Massey Ferguson 1140, the listed cooling system capacity is 1.8 gal | 6.8 L. Buy slightly more coolant than the exact capacity so you have enough for topping off after air burps out.
Mixture note
50/50 antifreeze and water.
Radiator cap note
The radiator cap pressure listed for the Massey Ferguson 1140 is 7 psi | 48 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 1140 Coolant FAQs
How much coolant does a Massey Ferguson 1140 take?
The Massey Ferguson 1140 takes 1.8 gal | 6.8 L of coolant. That is below the average compact tractor benchmark, so it is not a huge coolant job, but you still want spare premix for topping off.
Is 1.8 gal | 6.8 L a small coolant capacity for a Massey Ferguson 1140?
It is below average compared with the benchmark on this page. That makes the job cheaper, but it does not make coolant choice or bleeding less important.
How many coolant jugs do I need for a Massey Ferguson 1140?
This is a manageable refill amount. A 1.8 gal | 6.8 L system needs about 2 one-gallon containers if you are using premixed coolant. If using concentrate at a 50/50 mix, plan on about 0.9 gal of concentrate and 0.9 gal of distilled water. In metric terms, that is roughly 2 x 5 L containers for a full premix refill.
What coolant should I use in a Massey Ferguson 1140?
The listed coolant is 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. The listed mix is 50/50 antifreeze and water, so do not run straight water except as a short emergency move.
How much concentrate and water does a Massey Ferguson 1140 need?
With the listed 50/50 antifreeze and water mix, a full 1.8 gal | 6.8 L refill works out to about 0.9 gal of antifreeze concentrate and 0.9 gal of distilled water. If using premix, do not add extra water unless the product label says to.
Can I use a different radiator cap on a Massey Ferguson 1140?
The listed cap pressure is 7 psi | 48 kPa. That is a lower-pressure cap, so do not upgrade it to a higher-pressure cap just because it sounds stronger. Too much cap pressure can stress hoses, radiator seams and older seals.
Official information note
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.
