Hi,
I am looking to buy a loader to help our with building a house next year. I have found a mf30b loader in pretty rough shape. The story is that the owner got sick and passed away. Then his son sold the loader to another fellow with a locked up motor from water getting in the exhaust while it sat for a few years. The new own removed the head and freed the engine and had the head magna fluxed and a valve job completed. He has now lost interest in it because he to busy a work. The price is right under a 1000 dollars
I feel pretty confident about getting the engine going again, but I am unsure of the transmission. It has an instant reverse with three pedals on the right side. I am not able to test the function because of the engine being apart. Does anyone have a opinion to offer on the instant reverse transmission and knowledge of the parts availability for these transmissions. The rest of the tractor seems to have good availability. Also if you have ever used a instant reverse tractor was it a good experience or bad?
