You need to check the variable center sheave on the traction drive. If it gets worn it will vibrate and even chew up belts. The trans will run hot if it is overfull of oil but usually they run a little warm under normal circumstances. They have a oil pump inside if it is the big late style trans. If the variator is ok then you need to do a perpindicular alighnment check of the output shaft in relation to the other tracion drive units and the side of the machine. Your local Massey dealer would have a service bulletin on this vibration problem. It gets very involved!
