    Loader identification.

    I have a loader that doesn't appear to have any stamps or markings. I don't see a plate of any kind or any numbers. I'm not sure if it has been repainted but it is in pretty good shape. It could be that there is etched in information that I just can't see. I was wondering if any of you might...

    Adding a quick connect to a Massey 255.

    I could use a little advice. I'm adding a quick connect to my tractor as I didn't have a bucket and skid steer buckets and attachments are cheaper than a regular bucket and less fabrication. I spent $350 for the bucket and $200 for the adapter plate. I had a hay spear on there and used for...

    Massey 255 fuel gauge and sending unit. Aftermarket and troubleshooting.

    So, I bought a 255 recently and the gauges weren't working, so I'm fixing them. The tach was missing a year in the drive, a new drive and I had that going. The gas gauge didn't work, there was no power to it. It runs off the oil pressure gauge which powers everything only when it has oil...

    TO35 Clutch problems

    I have a 50s TO35 with the dual clutch/live PTO. Gas engine. I started her up after winter, everything worked fine, I parked it after using it for a hour or two. The next day I went to start it and the clutch didn't work. I figured it might be stuck, so I drove it around in high gear...

    What are the attachments points for a bucket called?

    Not the universal skid steer quick attack stuff but the regular bucket attachment. My hay spear has like double L bracket pieces on either side. I tried to look for universal ones that are like factory bucket attachment point. I'm talking about the ones that are like a pipe.

    New Massey 255.

    So, I upgraded to a Massey 255 with a 2425QT Bush Hog loader. It only came with hay spears for front and back. I've got no use for these, so I'll be selling them off. I ordered a universal skid steer attachment point that I can weld onto the brackets that hold the hay spear. It was just the...

    MF255 vs a MF35?

    I think I might be a Massey guy. The thought of getting another brand makes me uneasy. I love my little MF35 and I feel comfortable that Massey made a reliable tractor after having been through this one. Brand loyalty I guess? I have a TO35 with a loader. I have enjoyed working on it and...

    Adding a skidsteer style quick connect to a tractor.

    I'm looking at some industrial tractors like the MF 2200. One of them doesn't have a bucket but it seems to be in really good shape. It has a hay spear that appears to be 2 pieces of angle iron on either side. Looking through specs I see the loader pump pushes 17gpm. This seems like enough...

    How far would you drive a tractor home vs a trailer?

    I'm looking at a MF135 that is about 10 miles away. I doubt anyone would trailer a tractor that was a mile away. What is the distance you'd feel comfortable driving one home?

    What models will a MF35 loader interchange with?

    I have a MF35. I like it a lot and the loader works but it is heavy without power steering. I'm looking at getting something bigger and swapping the loader over. I assume it will bolt to a 135. Given that the 150s are similar, it should fit that too, right? There is a 3 cyl gas 135 and a...

    A little advice.

    I'm hoping some of you can help me make a decision. I bought a TO35 a few years ago that wasn't functional. I went through it and fixed everything necessary to make it reliable. The problem is that I have a lot of trees, hills, and there is no power steering. When using it for my main...

    Massey TO35 1959 Deluxe Draft Control linkage question

    I installed a new boot, plunger, yoke, etc. I tightened the plunger to where I understand it needs tightened to. I set the draft and speed controls to their respective position(fast and the arrow between the dots) I have a good inch or more before the rod contacts the plunger. Unless I'm...

    Draft control plunger/bolt.

    I wanted to replace the draft control boot. No biggie, right? Hah. Anyway, I got it out. Getting it apart is another matter. I have a impact screwdriver but the bit isn't big enough to work in this. I have an old screwdriver that fits it really well but I'm not having any luck in a vice...

    Massey lift ring/piston question.

    I put a new piston and rings in a new lift cylinder on my top cover last week. Today, I was installing the linkage, putting the PTO shaft, etc in. I've got the draft boot to do(I didn't even know what the draft nut was, I just ordered it with the boots. Glad I did, it is pretty beat up). I'm...

    1959 TO35 Hydraulic pump upgrade.

    I have the new style pump without a filter but the price to replace was pretty cheap and I wanted the filter so I bought the new pump. It is identical aside from the filter and the filter housing. I'm having no luck getting it in though. Do I need to remove the filter first to get it in or am...
