Tommorrow, there is a Massey dealership that is having a going out of business auction about two hours away. They have NOS Great Bend Loaders model 330 and a 360; one of these has no mounts and one has mounts for MF 175. Would MF 175 mounts be easily adaptable for MF 65 (my tractor)--i.e. simpley drilling new holes in the mounting brackets?
They also have a New Westendorf TA26 loader (with no mounts--I believe they are around $1,000 new) that the Westendorf website says is compatible with Massey 65 WITH front weight brackets (of which mine does not have and google is not turning much up).
My other courses of action for getting a loader include 1) The local massey dealer has a used Westendorf TL21 with mounts that will work for $3000.00. 2) A business in South Missouri that specializes in old loaders has several Massey OEM loaders that will work, the Quick Detach models are $3200 and the nondetachable models (mounts under the fenders) are priced at $1800.00.
The loader folks in South Missouri recommend a MF loader and a front pump ran off of the crank shaft. I had been planning to get a PTO Pump and mount a reservoir under the floor board (old gas/oxygen bottle?). If I were to go with a MF loader, I understand that the reservoir is in the body of the loader?
I would like to install at least 1 more valve for an add-a-grapple. It would also be nice to be able to plumb several of these to the back for implements.
Any suggestions or advice? I would very much appreciate it.
Thanks
