Massey 35 w/loader front axle swap options

[Zachary Hoyt]

We have a 35 with Continental z134 that got a MF(Davis)101 102 loader in 2008 and now is mostly used as a loader tractor picking up logs and occasionally other stuff. It has the normal adjustable front end and it makes me nervous when I put a heavy load on it. I am wondering if there is a non-adjustable heavy duty front end that would bolt up directly and would be better, and if so how I might find one. I have the impression that the front axle from a 50 or a 202 might fit but I am not sure. Any advice will be much appreciated.

I'm not a expert on this but the axle off the 50 is wider wear it bolts to motor and the radiator sits so the hood won't fit without modifying it somehow. I think if you just replace the axle pin & bushing in the front it should be fine. Never heard of a horror story that the front end broke off.

I think the 202 would fit. I have both a TO-35 and a 202 and they look very similar except for the size of the front end parts.
