Hello, first post and I need the advice of the wise. I'm contemplating buying a MF 35 Deluxe in extremely rough shape for $200 from a fellow down the street. The elderly gentleman who owns the tractor said he had a fuel tank problem years ago and just never fiddled with it again. I suspect it sat outdoors here in Indiana for 20 years or more judging by its condition. It is a 4 cylinder Continental with dual stage clutch, and comes with a bush hog.
I partially drained the oil - about a quart of water drained before I saw any oil. The oil was black and thick. The radiator is dry. Didn't check the hydraulic fluid. Couldn't move the fan. I'm pretty sure everything is seized up. All of the components appear to be there, however.
My question is can this tractor be restored to run again for use on a hobby farm? I realize something like this would be expensive, but I'm in it for the long haul and the pleasure of making it run again.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
