fix to a 3point system on a M.F. 50

Mike Henry · May 22, 2012

BiL has a MF 50 that he is offering to me. $600. This is what is known wrong. 1 rear wheel and tire 24x14.9. Wheel is rusted pretty bad around the valve stem. Possible weld up? Next and more importantly is the lever that attivates the 3 point has a lever just under the plate that most times shifts to a degree and the system wont activate.Can that be a serious problem or an easy fix. I am new to this breed. Runs good shifts good, sheet metal is good, little paint but not much needs to be done. What do you all suggest I look at closely. Are there any achile heals for this tractor? I am looking for a shorter wide front for my wife to drive on tractor rides. It has to go 10 mph at least to keep up. Anyone got suggestions I would appreciate them.Thank you.

Sounds like a heck of a deal for $600, I'd go for it.
The 3 pt might be something simple but even if it's not you can rebuild the pump and replace a lot of the major parts pretty reasonably. All the parts are available on this site. I just rebuilt the 3 pt on my 202 which is for all intents the same lift system.

Unless you can do the work or if you have a lot of spare cash to pay someone to do the work, run away from it. I believe that is a 2 pump system and you must split the tractor to get at the pump. All fixed up and working good it is only worth about $2500 on a good day. My $.20 cents worth.
