looking at a Massey Ferguson 1540

[taem]

I am checking out a quite used MF 1540 compact tractor. It looks to be in reasonable used state, but I note that it has no hydraulic SVC hookups. Is there a straightforward way to plumb in a valve and outlets to let me run a tedder with hyraulic lift arms. I can't see any current setup for plumbing a loader either, but that is not my current need. Thanks

There is always a way to do that. More than one usually. What you do and how you do it are totally up to you. Some people insist on using all "factory colors" and "by the book" components. That works, if the parts are still available and in any way affordable. Others get "creative" and use whatever aftermarket parts will fit the application and/or budget. It's often a matter of matching your wants, needs, and skills that determines what sort of finished product you end up with.
