MF 180 frame rail Wanted

lineman71 · Feb 14, 2015

I am in need of a frame rail for the right side(brake side) of my 180. It is the piece of channel shaped steel that bolts to the front of the engine and runs along the side then bolts to the transmission housing. Its about 2 1/2' long and 6" tall. I am looking for anyone who might have one or any info where I can get one. Anyone parting out a 180?
Thanks for looking

If you have the old one, have a machine shop make you one. If you have a metal scrap yard in your area, they may have the metal. If fastener ends are needed, make a pattern, bolt hole, etc out of cardboard and have the fabricator punch the holes and weld them on.

I would try one of these salvage yards:
TMS Stoller Tractor Inc. - Used Tractor and Combine Parts - TMS Stoller Tractor: Used and New Tractor and Combine Parts

Yeah my cousin has a machine and fabrication business. I was hoping to get a factory piece before it came to making one. I've been trying some salvage yards with little luck. One guy said he could get one and I said let me know who to pay and where to get it. I could even pick it up if he wants to get it and I'd pay him cause I'm not too far away. But he won't return my email now. I'll try some of the other yards you listed, Thanks!
