Recently purchased a MF 35 gas, 1963 model, it was vandalized, wiring messed up, gauges busted, been sitting for a while. Got it running this weekend, have a couple of questions:
The key switch has 4 "on" positions. I assume one for ignition, 1 for lights, what are the others?
The PTO lever. grinds when engaging, with clutch in or out, in gear or out, I feel sure the power is "live" but the grinding when engaging does not seem right.

I looked at my MF65 '59 replacement switch and it had 4 distinct positions. It has off, on, on/lights and lights only. There might be a position for worklights but mine does not have this.


Good luck.

Your -35 has a live pto which means it has a two stage clutch. Maybe your pto clutch needs adjusting. You'll need a shop manual to tell you how to do this so if you don't have one, then get one.

The simplest way to get the pto into gear without grinding is to shut off the engine, engage, then restart.

Alternatively, you may find it will pop in more easily if you rev up and drop down to idle quickly. A little grating shouldn't hurt anything. These machines are pretty tough.
