    Massey TO35 bellhousing to oilpan question

    Thanks, that worked. I didn't see the inspection plate because this has a loader on it and they put the loader crossmember over the plate. Thanks for the help.

    Massey TO35 bellhousing to oilpan question

    We just bought a Massey TO35. The engine is locked up and part of the bellhousing is cracked. It looks to me like the old starter nosecone grenaded and parts fell down in the bellhousing, jammed into the ring gear, and is jamming everything up. This is on the continental Z134 gas engine...

    Independent PTO speed without hydrostatic?

    It's a Massey TO35, high/low range, with a 5 foot Land Pride brush hog. It's definitely underpowered in the thick stuff. My last tractor was a 1963 Ford 4000 with Select-O-Speed. I loved the size of it, and felt that with a high low manual it probably would have done okay, but I was surprised...

    Independent PTO speed without hydrostatic?

    Eldon, Doing some reading on the Power Director of the 175, it seems like it's not that great for constant back and forth shifting. As someone that loves theirs, is that true? I'll be putting a loader on whatever I get, which means lots of back and forth quickly. Is that easy to do and...

    Independent PTO speed without hydrostatic?

    Is that an Allis Chalmers 175? How much are you charging per hour? I've been charging $50 to mow with the TO35. I noticed it took 7.5 gallons on a hard 5.5 hour job. It's a gas.

    Independent PTO speed without hydrostatic?

    TO35. But yes, need more power.

    Independent PTO speed without hydrostatic?

    Actually I mention both twice on the first and second page, but there's 4 pages now. I'm using a Massey Ferguson TO35 right now. I like the independent PTO for emergency stopping of the PTO, but it's too small and I know it. I'd like to get a 50 to 60ish HP instead, but before I do I'm trying...

    Independent PTO speed without hydrostatic?

    Show and JM, I'll look into those Kubota's, but I'd really like to stay away from Japan and stay domestic. Is there anything offered domestically? And preferably older, affordable and reliable. Dean, When I said between SOS and Hydrostatic, I realize they aren't related, I mean...

    Independent PTO speed without hydrostatic?

    Dean, do you think there's anything between the old Ford S-O-S and the new Kubota Hydrostatic that gives the same sort of control as the hydrostatic, without actually being hydrostatic? And is reliable? My Ford 4000 was either a 1963 or 1964 and the SOS was giving me troubles right away, so I...

    Independent PTO speed without hydrostatic?

    That's the exact tractor I have right now. Well, I believe mine is like a 196x, but same model. I like the live PTO, but I still have the problem of granny (it's a high-low) being too fast sometimes. I borrowed the neighbors hydrostatic and the ability to rev the PTO independent of the...

    Independent PTO speed without hydrostatic?

    Right now I'm using my father's Massey TO35 to mow his field, the neighbors, and my own. I'd like to bump up to about 50HP, but before I do I want to know what to look for.

    Independent PTO speed without hydrostatic?

    I briefly had a Ford with a Select-o-Speed, it wasn't very stout though and I sold it before it started having too many problems. If it's the same type of system you're talking about, were there any systems (powershift?) that were reliable and not a nightmare to work on?

    Independent PTO speed without hydrostatic?

    I'm not exactly sure how to phrase this question. Were there any older tractors (1960s to 1990s) that did NOT have hydrostatic, but still allowed you to adjust the power and speed of the PTO without worrying about what gear you were in? If I'm mowing with my rotary mower, and I'm in 1st or...

    MF TO35 overheating

    It appears that the problem might be the fan. Not too long before it overheated a stick jammed up into the fan shroud and put a dent in it, which the fan was scraping against. Pulled the stick out, straightened the shroud, and didn't think anything of it. It looks like the fan does not have...

    MF TO35 overheating

    Oops, yeah it's the gas engine. I checked the lower hose, it has the springs in it and when it was the hottest was still fully open. I didn't think to check the top one. No squeaking from the fan belt, it looks tight, I'll check it. I'm running a fan shroud. I have the factory grill...
