    431 -- Loader and grapple?

    I have a 431 2wd with only 622 hours on it. I'm considering purchasing a FEL and grapple for it... don't anticipate doing a lot of FEL digging, primarily scooping and spreading... but really need a grapple... we have a lot of downed/damaged trees on our 7 acres as well as 2 hunt properties from...

    MF431 Fender Swap

    I have a 431 with the clam-shell style fenders and I was wondering if the square top fenders would swap on? If so, what year would swap over?

    MF 431 Intermittent Problem

    I've been having a problem that is intermittent. The tractor has 540 hours on it, and it winds up just shutting off. Last year while cutting food plots and shooting lanes at the hunt lease, it just died... all lights flashed and then it went cold, wouldn't turn over, and nothing would come on...

    Change Oil?

    Ok, was on hunt lease this past weekend cutting food plots and shooting lanes. When I 1st got started about 100 ft into cutting a access road, the tractor died. Well after fiddling for about 2 hours, turns out I had a bad electrical connection somewhere in the wiring harness... long story short...

    Last hunting season when cutting shooting lanes on the hunting lease I ran into some lighter stumps. Unfortunately I was cutting new lanes in brush that was thick and about 4' high and ran into 2 different stumps to the point where the cutter went 90 degrees straight up. Well, the damage was...

    MF 431 Parts online?

    I just recently bought a MF 431 and will be selling the old 135. I'm big on searching the internet and buying parts online as its to get by the dealership during normal business hours.

    Different 2615's??

    I was at the local MF dealership over the weekend and looking at the 2605s and 2615s. They had 2 2615'sin 4WD and I noticed that the front axles were different on both of them? The dealership was closed so I wasn't able to ask.... was wondering if maybe they were different years of manufacture...

    451 vs 461

    I've decided on a Massey after looking at the Mahindras fro a while. Finally got to operate them right after each other... compared the mahindra 4530 to the 451... figure these are about as comparable as I could get. The MF just felt like it had more oomph, could be the extra cubes. Looking at...

    MF 135 wheel seals

    My 67' 135 diesel is leaking hydraulic fuel out a rear wheel seal and down the rim. I've been quoted about $150 per side for the dealership to do (stated a lot of labor... pressing etc) does this sound right? Is it a do-it-yourself job without owning a press? What would be involved?

    Correct info on TNs

    Hey guys.... anybody got the real skinny on the future of the TN55? I've actually been looking at one real strong to replace my MF135. I've got one dealer that says the TN55 will be replaced with a TN60 and another that says they will only have a TN65/70/75. Supposedly they are supposed to have...

    Tractor Decision

    Hey guys... new here. Been visiting for the last several days and am impressed with the site and members, so I joined. It's come time for me to upgrade from a MF135 and I've narrowed down to 3 tractors (4wd): Kubota M4900, Mahindra 4500/5500, and the Massey 451. I live in N Florida on 7 sandy...
