My 1961 MF35 (with a Perkins) has also been a pit (of sorts)... I paid $3500 for it (in running condition w/5' brush mower)... I thought I got a pretty good deal... Less than 10 hours later (after re-working the electrics and buying some 'stuff' for the 3-point and mower), I've got about $5000 in it and it is puking trans/hydro fluid out the front inspection plate (we're talking gallons/minute)... Oh, and both clutches are slipping... So now it's got to be split and new clutches and transmission seals installed... I don't have the time or equipment to do this myself... I shudder to think what I'll have to pay between now and mowing season (which, according to the way the weather has been lately, is only a few weeks away)...
P.S. It also needs new rims/tubes on the front and the steering is pretty sloppy... :oops: On the plus side (knock on wood), the engine seems to be running just fine... *fingers crossed* I already have one dead, kudzu covered, tractor on the property... I don't need two! :lol:
