MF-50 and more
Hi,I'm new here,from Trinidad in the Caribbean,I'm a heavy equipment and general contractor,I own a couple pieces of equipment,including excavators,backhoes etc. I recently took an old MF-50 backhoe off a guy's hands .I was really trying to keep away from such an old piece of equipment,but needed something to work as a part time loader/ lift at my yard,did'nt want to invest too much on a dedicated yard dog and someone told me the MF's are basic and good for my tasks. Strangely enough I have been bitten by the restoration bug,I have re-sprayed her and built a canopy to replace the rotted canvass thingy. I saw a vid on youtube where a guy converted one to 4wd,it looks amazing,I tried contacting him,but to no avail,can anyone advise me on what front end would be the most compatible and easy to do the mod,and please advise on all hardware requirements.There are many scrap 4wd Cat 428's and JCB 3CX's here,also many,Ford and other MF farm tractors in 4wd that I might be able to get a front end from...please advise accordingly,check out the link below,,,thanks!!
