Hi everyone, first time posting here. I'm excitedly going to be taking my father-in-law's MF 65 off his hands and it's moving over to my lot for the rest of it's life. I'm looking to do a front pump hydraulic setup for the loader, I picked up a used pump assembly with the mounting flange, shaft and pump already. I've been told that I need to install a new modified drop arm for the steering so that I don't lose the ability to turn fully in one direction. Nobody has been able to tell me what part or part # I need to get exactly or where I could possibly find it. Any ideas from you guys?
 
I actually bought these two steering arms to do the same thing. Mine is a gas mf65
that had manual steering so I bought these parts from used tractor parts place. I
ended not using these parts- I have them on Craig's list:

Thanks for the response! How'd you find these part numbers? Mine is a gas model with power steering, are you saying that you did not need to use the brackets because you had power steering? I don't have the tractor on site yet, and I don't want to start the project until I have all the parts. Thanks for any information!
 
You should be able to look thru the opening where your shaft would run thru, while you have someone turn steering wheel. If there is any obstructions, you will need the steering arms like I have on Craigslist. I think the earlier models of the mf65 in the year they were made, you need the steering arms. Later in that model year,the steering arms were changed. This is steering arms listed on craigslist:
