    Need help: MF35 sputters and stalls

    I've got an old MF 35 that usually runs well enough, but recently it sputters very badly as soon as I start it. It will stay running if I work the choke in and out, but if I let the choke back in, it will sputter some more and then stall. Any thoughts?

    MF35 TPH won't go down

    Hello, I have a FEL on my MF35 and it works fine, but the TPH will not go down. Right now I have a backblade on it so there is plenty of weight. I read through some of the post. I was wondering if someone here could shorten my search on what might be the problem,, Thank you for your time,, Blackfoot

    MF35 tractormeter cable

    I've got a 62 MF35 with the a3.152 diesel. I need to locate the correct tractormeter cable. My serial # is SNM 229613. All the cables I find listed are for tractors starting with a later serial number. The cable wasn't on the tractor when I got it but I think a 27" cable is correct. Also if...

    Will an MF35's hydraulics run a posthole borer?

    Is there any way for a little MF35's on board hydraulics to run a hydraulic type post hole borer if I mounted one on the front loader arms? Could you run an axillary pump off the PTO instead, just using the on board hydraulics to control the loader? If so, what do I need please? Thanks.

    MF35 cuts out after warm

    As the title says, my MF35 cuts out after it warms up. When mowing at full throttle, it runs fine until the engine warms up. After that, it will hit and miss. That is, runs up to full RPM, then cuts out until RPMs drop to around 1500 or so. Then it kicks back in, runs up to full speed and cuts...
