MF 35 Loader

Hello all, I just recently bought a house on 5 acres and piced up a mf 35 to help with the maintenance. It has a loader on it with a small trip bucket but I want to swap it out for a fully hydraulic loader with down pressure. The reading I have been doing seems to point to the mf 100 loader, is that what I should be looking for? My tractor is a diesel with fluid filled rear tires and power steering. If anyone knows of any other options im all ears. I'd rather not modify something to fit and would like to look for a correct application. Thanks in advance, Randy.

A few things to consider as you undertake your search.

The model 100 is an old loader, hasn't been built for years, and chances of finding one complete, in good condition, with the mounting brackets, pump, and all the parts you need to mount it on a 35 are likely slim.
You may find a loader but be sure the mount kit, pump, and all the parts need to mount on a 35 are with it if you don't want to have to fabricate. The mounting parts are often missing from used loaders and it may have been on a different model tractor so if there are brackets with it they may not fit.
You may need to look for another 35 with the loader you want on it, then move the loader to yours. The other options are a new loader, if you can find one the manufacturer makes a mounting kit to fit your 35. Or find a different tractor with a full hydraulic loader already on it and sell/trade your 35.

Best of luck with your search. If you are lucky someone on here may see this and have just what you need. It also might help to tell your general location. Someone may know of a salvage yard or other place within a reasonable distance of you where you could check for one.

Thank you for the reply and info, I am located just south of Green Bay Wi, I will keep my eyes open and if I find anything I will try make sure it comes with what I need.

My 35 has power steering and a ford loader. If you look under the front cradle you'll see 4 bolt holes used to mount the loader along with rear axle brackets that attach with the fender bolts which can be
fabbed.. Mine has the front pump that runs off the crank pulley. Think my loader is a model 98.

We have an MF50 (very much like an MF35) DO NOT PUT A BUCKET ON THE MF35 WITHOUT POWER STEERING. The MF50 (which does not have power steering) needs a gorilla and 3 acres to turn around with a load in the bucket. I know first hand how hard it is to steer. You will work yourself to death using it. The MF35 (I have one, and love it) does not have a strong front end. I would be concerned about wearing the steering out as well as the front pivot pin. Leave your 35 to mowing and light plowing.

Good advice. I have an MF202 that I tried several times to get the power steering to work without gushing fluid out the top of the steering column. I finally gave up and pulled the PS pump and took the drive gear off and reinstalled it. So, in other words I had manual steering. That thing was such a bear to steer. The 202 is the industrial version of the 35 and has a heavy straight front axle made for a loader. The thing was such a bear to steer that I finally put a little money into it and did the modernized power steering that BIGRED1 did. This cost me between $600 and $700 but, now I have a tractor the steers like a Cadillac.

I appreciate the responses guys, while looking for a loader for the 35 I found a case 530ck near me and ended up picking it up, ending the search for a 35 loader.

Tell us a little bit about the 530CK. I have no idea what it is.

Its an idustrial version of the 530, ck = construction king. Its probably early to mid 60's, heavey duty full hydraulic loader, rear remote, 3 point, pto etc.. supposed to be able to lift 3k lbs to full height.

Here's what I found on it. But I thought you wanted a 4 wheel drive? Is it gas or diesel?
