Moline Jetstar 3 question

Olly525 · Feb 24, 2020

I have a 1963 MM Jetstar 3 that I would like to put a front end loader on. What model MM or possibly Oliver loader would bolt up?

Not sure if MM even made loaders for their tractors back then, but many loaders were made by 3rd party vendors with adapters for various tractors. These are difficult to find for relatively obscure tractors like Molines, but you might come up with something. First, put your question on the MM board on this site- then go to the "unofficial" website for the brand, www dot Minneapolis-Moline dot com.

A good first step would be to subscribe to one or both of the magazines for the brand. They will have ads for folks who deal in parts, and that may help you along. But you'll probably end up taking measurements on your tractor on loaders that might fit, then fabricating adapters.

i have a minnie big mo 500 loader backhoe combination. i believe the jet star 3 is similar to the big mo. look at the photos in the archives of both tractors.

Later Moline loaders (L800) were made by Schwartz. Oliver and white 1610? were basically the same loader. I think brackets are all pretty much the same on them, with the exception Jet 3 would use a flat plate that goes from bell housing to steering gear to act as a frame rail to mount the loader bracket to. They are a decent lighter built loader. Sized well for a Jet 3 or U302. I have one on a M670 Super, need to be a little more careful. Probably will move it over to my U302 when I get it finished up.

Thanks to all of you for responding. The
Minnie Mo site mentioned would be a good
starting point also.
