Just picked this up a couple weeks ago. It's a Utility version with the yellow paint, 4 cylinder gas Continental engine. It needed a tune up, oil change, the carb still needs cleaned, the lights and gages don't work, needs new tires and the hydraulics are pretty weak. Still pretty usable though, I've been using it to haul trailers and large trucks around the property. This old thing still gets around surprisingly well. First tractor I've owned, probably overpaid too but I had to have it.

The bonnet, seat, fenders need to be replaced. Front tires have been orderd should come during wednesday. Rear tires hold air so those we will get later. We are currently waiting on our friend to get an inspection camera so we could see if the engine is good. Hopefully we could get this baby fired up in next few weeks, but we'll see how it goes. I'll probably update you when we get some new rubber for this baby. Also if anybody has a nickname for this tractor I will accept suggestions.

It hasn't been used in last twenty-ish years, Before that it sat in a corner of a field. There is oil in the engine and in the rear and also coolant in the radiator. I have no idea if the tires hold air. So what do y'all think? Anybody want updates on this project?

Hi all, I recently purchased a MF 35 tractor that doesn't run. It has a scrape blade attached to the 3 point, so I need to raise the lift to transport it home. Can I just use another piece of equipment to pick up the blade and chain it up? Will that damage anything in the hydraulic system? Thanks
