Replacement Parts

[Mike Eagle]

Just reading the March issue of "Compact and Utility Tractor News". The picture of the MF tractor in the lead article looks exactly like mine, a 1964, 165 diesel. Does anyone know where I can purchase some of the body parts? MF usually has replacement mechanical parts but a tree fell on the front part of the hood and I would like to repair that. Tractor runs great and I want to maintain it for my grandkids. I also need to replace the fan belt. The tractor has a FEL with a secondary hydraulic pump directly coupled to the front of the motor drive shaft. It looks like I need to remove most of the front end of the tractor to get to the fan belt. Anyone have any experience with this problem or can offer any suggestions?

I would call my dealer and ask if he knows of a 'tractor junkyard'.........I bet he does.

For the fan belt, look into using a link belt. They can be made to fit any length and come apart easily.Vibration Free Link Belt
