Hi, I bought an old ** wheel loader but very little information about it was available. Maybe someone can regognize this model?? Powered by V8 presumably made by Perkins. Any info is helpfull! Thank you!
It's an MF55. Was the first ** designed and built articulated loader. Engine is a Perkins AV8.510 V-8 rated at 138 flywheel HP. Standard bucket is 2 1/2yds. with 12,450 lift capacity to full height and operating weight a little under 30,000lbs. with the cab. Bucket on your machine does not look original especially being a spade nose. Spade nose are usually used on much bigger loaders. 2 speed powershift with high and low in each range. 21.1 MPH top speed. Were a decent loader in their day but difficult to find parts for today. May have a rear axle disconnect for roading. https://www.agrimanuals.com/massey-...mf55-brochure---black--white-1969-18512-p.asp https://www.ebay.com/itm/Massey-Ferguson-**-55-Wheel-Loader-Shovel-Brochure-Leaflet-/392314065933
Thank you so much for your reply! I had a suspision that if i need parts for this loader it won't be easy.. Especially here in Finland these ** loaders are rare. Just wondering does this has anything to do with Hanomag?
I don't know much about these, but it looks like an awesome piece of machinery. What type of work are you going to use it for? Nice wheel loader!
Thanks! I bought it since it was close by and the condition for it's age was fairly good. It's used for moving scrapcars and scrapmetal on yard plus snow plowing at winter.
It was before ** bought Hanomag. The later 55C is a Hanomag but completely different.
