G'da Y'all, I inherited a 1980 MF 210-4, made in Japan by Hinomoto and imported to Australia in very small numbers. Also badged as Hinomoto E23, Allis Chalmers 5020, Simplicity 9??? and possibly others. While this has been a mighty little tractor, (22ish HP, FWA, 12 FWD, 3REV gears. Also a 210 2wd model) I've found purchasing/finding spare parts virtually impossible. Most dealers I speak with haven't even heard of it.
My immediate problem is front-end parts, the RHF axle housing was broken when crown wheel came adrift and broke large piece out of housing. The operator at the time, in his infinite wisdom threw crown wheel away and the piece of housing was never found. Hence it has been 2wd ever since. Ultimately I'd like to replace the parts I need but hold little hope of that. I would also gladly convert to 2wd if front assembly was available.
This is where I need help, if anyone may have suggestions, clues or ideas where I might look. Or what alternatives I could explore It would be greatly appreciated, yours truly, me.

Welcome to the forum from NW Florida. I can't help with your problem, but if you would re-post with a more descriptive title you will have better luck getting folks to read it. Good luck.

G'day mate and :welcome: have you tried any dealers/wreckers in a market garden area up there? I know down here in Vic that most of the ag dealers don't want to know about the smaller stuff same with Iseki parts ( which Massey were importing at one stage ) so I have found that the dealers near the market garden areas seem to be a bit more helpful BUT in saying that massey in Aus are not supporting a lot of the odd models they brought into the country as far as spare parts go. Don't be afraid to ask a wrecker if they know of any one that specialises in that type of gear as they are the ones in the know.

Best of luck with it.
