MF 1010 Price check and parts availability...

buck boost · Nov 16, 2014

Hi everyone! I have a chance to buy a MF 1010 2wd, gear, with a 54" MMM. It is very clean, and it was always stored inside. Not sure on the hours. I know the mid PTO that drives the MMM is broken, and I don't know what is exactly wrong.

I know it is 13 PTO hp, so not really a powerhouse. How is part support on this older machine? I don't need it, but I could buy it to fix, then resell. I have heard that there is very little part support though. And I don't really know how involving of a repair the mid PTO might be. Any thoughts and/or advice on what it is worth broken? And what it is worth repaired?

Does the mid PTO dump when you step on the clutch like the rear PTO?

Should I stay away?

Any advice would be appreciated.

IIRC those models no longer have any parts available for them unless you can find a junked one with a good part that you need. Even 5 years after the model year, no parts were available so not a good choice.

I hear ya Gary. Doesn't sound like a good choice at all. Sounds like a major pain to screw around with. Thanks for the info. 5 years after the tractor is built/sold and no part support, equals very bad juju...

I think I'll pass on this one...
