MF85 3PT hitch

[Torpex]

Hi, does anyone have pictures or know how the 85 stabilized the 3pt hitch? I've searched and cant find anything standard or OEM setup. I have the chains already in place but they dont really stop a seed spreader or a Bush Hog from moving side to side.
Thank You!

The MF85 used their two stabilizer bars on the INSIDE of the lift arms, not outside like other MF models do. Should be shown in the owners book if you have one.

Thank You I will check....kinda forgot to check there!

If you are looking for stabilizers that will work for it, I bought a pair from All State. Others have them as well but this was the best price I found. Hopefully this link works.

Thank You Spencer! Thats a Great Price. And they worked without modification on your MF85?

Thyanks Dieseltech! The Book does show them. My Book the connection points are a little grainy but i think i understand. My tractor does have a swiveling clevis inside the main arms, must connect there.

I actually used them on a Super 90 but everything is the exact same on the hitch. The pin wholes are slightly bigger than the originals but its only 1/8th if I remember correctly. So far it they have
worked out fine but havent put too much on it yet. Ill try to get a picture of it tomorrow for you.

Great Pic! Thank You! So no modifications necessary? They Look OEM!

Nope, no modification at all! Definitely the closest thing I could find to OEM. If a person wanted to take out the play in the pin whole, I thought about making bushings that would fit but have since decided that I probably have more play in everything else and probably wont worry too much about it.

Sounds Great, I ordered two! Thank you so much for all the help, Ill post a pic when mine are installed.
