HELP!!!! How to get a Massey Freguson 1235 to shop for repair

[joseymack]

I have a Massey Ferguson 1235 which needs some repairs to the 1244 backhoe attachment as well as a frame crack and broken hydro line. The crack in the frame has caused damage to my radiator getting pushed into the fan due to flexing. The problem is I can start the tractor but cannot attach the backhoe due to issues with the boom wanting to swing when connected. I am not sure if it's a hydro leak or cylinder issue causing the swing. basically the tractor only has 500 hrs on it and if those two problems are fixed it will be a beast again. Problem is i cannot figure out how to get it in for repairs. Does anyone know of a way to get something like this picked up and transported, OR do people come out to repair locally on the spot. I am in Leicester ma.

Any help would be appreciated

Have you called the dealer ? Maybe they have a ramp truck with a winch or a tow truck company

Forget getting it repaired on site. This frame crack should be a warranty issue as well as damaged radiator. Call your selling dealer and get them to pick it up. Don't fool with broken hydraulic lines the fluid pressures are very high and if they penetrate skin can lead to need for amputation - stay way clear of that!

I’d contact whom your wanting to take it to for repairs, depending on what all actually need repaired or replaced they very well may decide to do on site, or may do some on site to make it easier to transport.

Start driving by the local coffee shops looking for a parked ramp truck the tow guys use. In Canada, Tim Horton's coffee places are the best ones to find tow drivers

When they are stopped it means they are waiting for business and often will make a cash deal to do a job immediately.

They can winch a dead vehicle unto their truck.

The trick is to find them when they are not doing anything like sitting on the side of a highway waiting for an accident.

Locally my dealer will come pick up if needed. Of course they charge for that. They have a large truck with a big crane on it. So they can do a lot of repairs in the field. Might be they do some right there and get the tractor to the point they can then load on to trailer to take to shop.

I would get some towing company with a "roll back" to haul it. They can get it done with no trouble. I had one haul my allis and it weighs about 10,000 lbs.
