Help Identify Front End Loader

[waskeyc]

I have a Massey-Ferguson 165 with a Front End Loader (FEL). The FEL has the Massey-Ferguson brand on both sides indicating that it was produced by MF. It is pretty old, perhaps original to the tractor. There are two cylinders to rotate the bucket, which is 5 feet wide. The hydraulic pump is attached at the front of the tractor (independant of the transmission and 3-point lift), and the reservoir is a large rectangular tank off to the right side of the tractor. The spool is two levers (not a joystick) and does not have a float function.

I have no way of knowing what parts are original to the loader and what parts were modified or added later. I would like to identify it so that I can find parts, if necessary. I'm particularly interested in the hydraulic pump, which squeels under load and doesn't produce as much power as I'd expect (still adequate to do most anything I need it for).

Thanks for any help.

A picture would be very helpful. This is a MF(Davis made) model
101 102 loader on our 35. Is yours similar?

Yes, mine is similar, but not exactly. The upper beams on mine turns down abruptly towards the bucket, whereas the picture of yours shows a radiused transition.

Also, I can't tell for sure, but your controls look like they might be on the left? Mine are on the right, next to the large (maybe third-party or homemade?) hydraulic fluid tank.

I don't see a hydraulic pump on the front or your tractor either, but maybe your grill and weight rack are hiding it?

If I can't get a definitive answer in a day or so, I might put a picture up. I don't have a picture, and it's dark outside right now.

The hydraulic pump is a Massey original part and should be serviced by whom ever is now carrying the repair stuff if anyone.

It could be either a MF 100 or MF 200 loader. This one has a 4 bar linkage. This is on a 68 MF 2135 (industrial version of MF 135). Front pump, controls on right side, hydraulic tank on right side in loader frame.

Thanks for the responses so far. It's probably not that important, as a lot of the parts are likely generic. However, I'd like to have a model number. Attached are some pictures of mine.

The first shows the controls and hydraulic tank.

The second shows the pump mounted on the front, near the power steering.
