How does a loader normally mount on MF50?

[fatoldfool2]

Any chance of finding a loader for my MF 50? I have a loader that is a bit too heavy, I think it came off a 185. The bucket is made of 1/4 inch steel. I would settle for a trip bucket loader!

I have seen loaders mounted on small Masseys in different ways. There are 2 mounting pads at the front just above
the front axle on each side. There is also the place under the bell housing where the inspection plate is. The 3rd.
spot is under the rear axles where the fenders mount. I had a 165 with a Massey loader that was mounted to the
front pads and under the bell housing. I have seen others mounted at the front and rear.

The loader frame is still on my MF50, but the lift arms and cylinders have been off for at least 30 years. Factory loader, not of much HD farm use. Would be OK for odd jobs, maybe even handy, but the front end was too light and so was the rear end. MF factory loader mounts were just behind the radiator in front and n the rear axle housing rear. I may be able to send a photo if it would help, but I bet the Agco parts site has the diagrams.

Do you want to sell it, and how far are you from southern WV? Loader was my back saver till my son talked me out of it. used for lifting mowers, posts, general light use.
