Our house and outbuilding were destroyed by a tornado last Friday. My wife and I were home with four of the kids and thankfully there were no injuries. The MF35 Utility survived, despite the building around it being blown away, with the lights broken off and the loader control valve for the...

Hey guys, I recently posted in the Hydraulics forum but haven't gotten replies yet. I'm hoping that by posting here in the MF forum, I can direct some attention to my post over there (click here). My loader valve needs replaced. See the other post for details. Thanks!

I have a Massey Ferguson 35 Utility tractor with a Davis 99 loader. The bucket sags off with any load on it and my testing shows that it's the control valve, not the cylinder. I was reading another thread about running single action cylinders on a double action valve. The consensus seems to be...

I took the fuel tank off my MF35 to (try to) repair a leak. Ouch, it gets expensive when gas is leaking out of there! I see the valve covers are now accessible. Does the gas engine require periodic valve adjustment? If so, I might as well do it while the tank is out. I checked the service...

My MF35 Utility (gas engine) leaks power steering fluid. I suspect it's going into the crankcase. I have googled for a replacement seal but am not sure if the MF35 utility uses the same power steering pump as the regular MF35. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Is it a difficult...

I am replacing the headlights on my MF35 utility. Again. They used to look like this. Then they got crushed when a wind storm blew in the overhead door, which then landed on the tractor and took out the lights. So I bought a pair of these and mounted them in the same place, on top of the...

We got buried last night by snow and high winds. When I tried to start the MF35 utility (gas), I heard a clunk and then after that the starter just spins without engaging anything. I pulled the starter and this is what I see. Am I missing the gear drive from the starter shaft or is something...

I have an oxy-acetylene tank set with a welding torch on it. It's the leftmost torch in the picture, the one connected to the hoses with some pieces of electrical tape on them :eek: I use that torch to heat bolts and such but it's not a cutting torch. I have these two Victor torches as well but...

I've owned this MF35 for 9 years now. It wasn't running when I got it but only took routine things to get it going. Replaced distributor caps, rotor, plugs, and worked with the neutral start switch. I've been using it ever since. Over the years, small things have been breaking. The ammeter...

I have an MF35 Utility with the Continental gas engine. The transmission is a 3-speed with a separate high/low lever and shuttle shift for Forward/Reverse on the steering column. Recently I use High range while moving hay from a neighbors property. Since then there's a steady drip of oil from...

I have a MF35 utility tractor with a front end loader and have been thinking about building a toothbar. It may be that I've come up with a good reason to do so.. We have a limestone driveway that's gotten pretty darn hard since we moved in six years ago. It was built with crusher-run limestone...

One of the power steering cylinders on my MF35 Utility is leaking badly. It's an aftermarket cylinder. I ordered a rebuild kit but can't figure out how to take it apart. There was a snap ring on the rod end of the cylinder which I removed but still, nothing comes apart. Pics are below. I...

My MF35 Utility needs rear tires. I currently have Goodyear Industrial Sure-Grip 14.9x24 R4's, loaded with fluid and iron wheel weights. The tractor is used for mowing the field, moving snow, loader work and plowing the garden (in that order). The R4's I have now have not impressed me with...

I got this tractor about four years ago. The tires always looked funny, though the previous owner said they were new or newer. Now they're coming apart! It looks like the tread is coming off the carcass. I don't know if there's such a thing as retreads for tractor tires but these sort of look...

As the title says, my MF35 cuts out after it warms up. When mowing at full throttle, it runs fine until the engine warms up. After that, it will hit and miss. That is, runs up to full RPM, then cuts out until RPMs drop to around 1500 or so. Then it kicks back in, runs up to full speed and cuts...

I have a MF 35 Utility (yellow) tractor with a Massey loader on it. The hydraulic cylinder that tilts the bucket is leaking and I need to find a seal kit for it. The local dealer asked for the loader model # but I cannot find a model tag anyplace on the loader. Where is the tag normally located...

Hi, I'm the new owner of a MF 35 Utility (gas) with front end loader and flail mower, and I have a few questions. 1. I need some manuals. Is documentation for the regular MF35 the same? I'd like to read about basic operation and regular service (ie checking fluids). 2. Is there a differential...
