New member, first thread, though I've been lurking in the background trying to gain info on Massey Ferguson's MF 300 loader as well as other general info as this is my first track loader and I'll be using it for farm work, these M/C I know a great farm units, so many uses especially with the 4in1
Now I know parts for these M/C are rare, but she runs and has has really good undercarriage and was going cheep. I had a mechanic check it over and he couldn't belive how good the undercarriage was though he did pick up 3 links on one side and two on the other were old worn links and should be replaced, I plan to use m/c while I try to source more links. He also owns a mf200 and told me someone nearby had paid close to double for another MF300 and the undercarriage on it was pretty much totalled.
Here are a couple of shots when I first went to have a look at her
So after some deliberation the sale was made and transport was arranged
Here's what I knew was wrong with it at this point
Chain links 5 needed
Also one sprocket looks to have been cut and reheard, don't know why other side is not the same and if sprocket chain size has been changed, she tracks ever a slightly to the right
4 in 1 not open closing-split hydraulic line seller said
Tracks needed some tightening
No brakes-mechanic managed to get some brake and that it just needed some adjustment
That about it I think for now
About a week later it was on my property- 100 acres undulating with some steeps
