MF35 Hydralic Question

I have a 1961 MF35 Deluxe. On the left side under the seat is an elbow, about 3/8" that is currently capped. There is a similar elbow on the right side slightly further forward. Are these the feed/return for using auxillary hydralics?

I'm considering mounting a 3pt backhoe for some trenching work. So far the SMC and Bradco seem to be about the best. Any advice would be most appreciated.

Jeff; Do you plan on playing or paying? If the setup is for light duty amusement you should go ahead. If you don't overdue it and work slowly I suppose it may do your job or job(s).
When things start braking or baking it might do you well to hire a hoe to get a few things done
rather quickly. When that rig drives off you won't need to spend anymore cash on a ho Good luck

Russ, after talking to several other people that said about what you did we've decided it must be true. After talking with our accuntant we've decided to purchase a new loader/hoe after the first of the year and save the wear and tear on our beloved MF35. We're a general contractor that builds primarily spec homes, and we'll save enough on what we're paying an excavation sub to make it worthwhile. The tax incentives to buy new equipment with the bonus depreciation make it attractive, as well as the section 179 deductions for new or used equipment.

Best bet is to use a PTO mounted pump that uses hydrolic tank mounted on the backhoe. I use this set up on my Bushhog brand backhoe. Bushhog is good and Woods is probably better. I have done good work with mine.

Jeff, the one on the left is the pressure side, for hooking up a pressure guage to check the hydralic pressure. Forget about using that little small volume pump to run a backhoe, plus when the cylinders are extended your transmission housing will be almost dry, and I believe you will be dissapointed with the setup. alvinnms

Thanks Alvin. Should I plan on using the auxillary pump that runs on the PTO to run the backhoe then?

Any thought on a good brand of hoe?

The PTO pump's a great idea since you won't be using any rear end implements when the hoe is mounted.

Merry Christmas

A front mounted pump is even better, with an oil reservoir, ever hear of hydralic dieseling, and oil thats too hot?? Jeff, those are fine tractors for what they were designed for, but digging gets serious almost immediately, and by the time you go to the exspense of rigging up a MF35 with a hoe you will have payed for a good used industrial tractor, ready to start digging. If you can find a good Dearborn slip scoop, you would be going far as a MF35 should be enhanced for digging. Alvinnms
