    Massey 35x / Deluxe brakes

    Yes, I can. It lifts but sets back down (lower than the other one). Not sure there's a way to reset the position of the arms (the main one by the engine/transmission) that crosses over to the right side of the tractor is keyed and cannot be reset to a different position. I adjusted the linkage...

    Massey 35x / Deluxe brakes

    Following up on my own thread: took everything apart and figured out the spring on the brake shaft is OK. Took the shaft of the cup in the tractor body (sorry language is not precise) and removed some rust, added an anti seize grase, pedal seems to move freely, has better feel but is still not...

    Massey 35x / Deluxe brakes

    Hello all, Working on my Massey 35x / Deluxe. I followed a couple of helpful videos and replaced the wheel seals and got everything back together. I adjusted the brakes and everything seemed ok. Quick test drive reveals problem with left side brakes. Basically, the pedal doesn't want to return...

    Compact tractor hunt

    Good question. I have some 3 pt implements already (post hole digger, box blade, grading blade, etc). Aside from those, the main task would be to drag trees out of the woods and lift them onto my sawmill. Size is a limiting factor because of the slopes but also room between the trees. I don't...

    Compact tractor hunt

    That's good to hear. I'm looking into options. it's not just the emissions control function, it's the amount of stuff that's in the way. Coming from a perspective on modern diesel trucks vs. mechanical diesels, it's night and day with the amount of 'stuff' in the way for any little upgrade. A.

    Compact tractor hunt

    Yup, certainly a concern. Size of the tractor is a limiting factor for some of the tasks I'm wanting to do. the 1K lbs mark is a rough marker/target. A.

    I appreciate the perspective. I have worked on hydro tractors, just not a fan. Thanks A.

    Massey 35x (deluxe) loaders options?

    Hello all, Have a 35x Massey with the Perkins motor. Anybody else have one of these? With a loader? I'm thinking about looking for a loader, wondering if others have them. This is such a nicely balanced tractor, would hate to ruin it with the wrong loader. Appreciate any insights. Thanks A.

    I prefer manual transmissions, more control, less expense to maintain. A.

    Compact tractor hunt

    You're happy with it? Aside from some limited experience with made in India steel and motors, this may be total bias on my part but I'm hesitant to buy a machine made in India. I guess I should go to a dealership and take a good look. A.

    Compact tractor hunt

    I'm shopping for a new compact tractor. I'd like to get something that's diesel powered, 4wd, has a loader rated to lift 1,000 lbs., and comes with a manual transmission or shuttle shift (no hydros). Shouldn't be that hard, right? Because I don't do this all the time, I didn't know that some...

    New (to me) 1960 Massey Ferguson 35x

    Thanks i'm a little weary of adding too much weight but will think about it. Glad i didn't fixate on the diff lock, this little tractor is going to do a bunch of work for us. We have a lot of downed trees in the woods, it's just money sitting out there. Hopefully I can get them out even if I...
