Our church bought a 1959 To35 Massey Fuguson from a widow. The guy who made the deal and wanted to use it to take care of the churches 5 acres, he left the church.
I took over, I've operated tractors but never really worked on them, they where all new and under warranty. I find myself enjoying working on this old tractor. The last owner had started working on it, he got the engine rebuilt and he painted it but he died of cancer before he could finish it.
After resealing the gas tank, replacing the fuel lines, replacing the the intake/exaust manifold, the exhast, rebuilding the carb, replacing the alternator and completely rewiring the tractor, I've got it running pretty well. Now I need to sort out the added on hydraulics.
Now the issues! The control valves leak. I've done some searching on google and haven't identified them. I'd like to rebuild them first if possible. After that I need to replace all the lines. Then I need figure out what I can do to impove the speed of the front end loader and use it without stealing pressure from the 3 point, I'm thinking I can add a front pump, currently it has no fluid resivor(bypassed) and its getting fluid from the case through a valve that lets me switch between the 3 point and the front end loader.
