Ooooooo , I had a MF35 4 cylinder though, at that time so did both the neighbors either side , but I was the only one with a workshop manual ( I'm like that ) it was rarely opened !.
The 3 pont linkage should be capable of lifting just over a tonne , when new , so account for age !
If it is already in good order then its change oil using the correct oil to preserve the oil seals , I did mine once a year for all the work it did , same with the filters oil, air and fuel , keep the backend oil to the correct level and clean.
Oh and buy it a new best friend..... a grease gun ( with grease ! )
When and if you get a book on it write the engine & gearbox numbers and the year on it. Bits are easy to get , advice even easier up here as everyone's father /grand father had one .
The only trouble I ever had was when I first got it and stripped the steering worm housing and lost the ball bearings, thinking all maybe lost I took the drive of shame to Inverurie to the dealer in the vain hope of getting spares for such an old tractor. The parts chap ( aged about 300 ) just looked at me with an expressionless face when I told him what had happened , he dissapeared , shortly returning with a new worm housing and 21 new ball bearings and another somber faced chap.
There then followed a bit of a telling off, then instructions on how to fit it all back together.
I purchased a copy of the dealer workshop manual , but rarely opened it as the 35 is so simple.
Keep the paint work nice too. I regret selling her .
