MM 335 questions

MBakker · Jan 2, 2013

I recently acquired what I am told is a "63 MM335. I don"t have any way to verify that though. There is a spot on the tractor that looks like it used to have a serial number tag, but it has been removed. Did they stamp that number anywhere else on the tractor?

It also has a 3 point hitch on it. The tractor had sat for a while so I went through and cleaned all the hydraulics up. The lift works fine, but won"t pick up a 5" round bale. Should it be able to do that?

Thanks

the 335's were 56 to 60. A 335 is most likely too small for a 5' bale.

I agree that is alot for it. Just want to add..If your 335 has some external linkage on the upper right 3pt arm and no rate and cycle levers under the seat on the hydraulic reservior more than likely it is an early 335 (1956).

I grew up with a 335 that we bought new & still have. The 335 was the smallest MM of that era, and the last with the 165 engine (same displacement of an "R").
A 335 is WAY too small to attempt to move round bales, as is a 4 Star or Jet Star series. The 3-points were not built heavy enough. You need 5-Star or newer/larger for Round Bales.

If this tractor has pressed steel rear rims and has 6 lug bolts per wheel, you have a 335 utility. I have a 335 utility . Plus a late 335 Ind. It has cast rear wheels and 12 lug bolts per wheel. The drawbar support is one of a kind, used on a 335 only. clint
