Help Id'ing this MF backhoe

[tonyseahawk]

Hey all. thanks in advance for the help. We just bought a mid 90's MF backhoe, but I cant find the model anywhere on this thing. The only serial number tags I can find are in the cab (probably for the rops). I have a couple leaky cylinders on the Hoe that I need to replace the seals on, but without knowing which one this is, I cant even get a parts book to begin the hunt. Anyone know which one this is? And will it have to be year specific for the seals, or did MF use a standard set across the board on each model? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

To TBN Tony. So, are you on the Texas mesa or in Mesa, AZ? I assume the later. I can't help with MF but I am sure some of the MF people can.

Mesa Az my friend. But I own and operate many turquoise mines in central Nevada. Thats where this MF is heading. But I'd like to shore up some leaks on it first.

It is some variant of the Massey Ferguson 50HX as the 60HX does not have the door on the left side of the hood. These were very popular in Europe, however rather rare here in North America.

Ya that is what we were thinking. Do you know if ordering ram seals is going to have to be year and model specific, or just model specific? It seems when looking up seal kits, the kits for each ram fits several models. Does that sound right with MF?
