Description

When your three-point hitch starts acting sluggish or won’t lift implements evenly, there’s a good chance this shaft inside your hydraulic lift assembly needs attention. Your lift arms take incredible abuse – supporting the full weight of implements, absorbing shock loads when you hit obstacles, and constantly flexing as your hitch raises and lowers. This 35mm hydraulic lift shaft with its precision 2-hole configuration is what transfers that hydraulic pressure into the lifting motion that gets your plows, cultivators, and bush hogs up and down smoothly.

What You’re Getting

35mm diameter shaft machined to exact specifications for proper fit and smooth operation
2-hole mounting pattern that matches your original Ferguson system perfectly
Heavy-duty steel construction built to handle the constant stress and torque of hydraulic operation
Precision-machined surfaces that work smoothly with your hydraulic components and resist premature wear
Direct replacement design that installs without modifications or custom fitting

Built for Real Farm Work

Essential for the legendary Massey Ferguson 35, often nicknamed “Gold Belly” due to its distinctive bronze finish, which became massively popular and sold across the United Kingdom, Australia, Ireland and the United States. It could handle plowing, planting, harvesting, and hauling, making it an all-in-one workhorse for small to medium-sized farms. These versatile tractors continue to serve in modern farming operations, hobby farms, market gardens, and restoration projects where their proven hydraulic system reliability and simple maintenance make them invaluable for implement operation, loader work, and specialized agricultural tasks.

Made to Last

The hydraulic lift system on the MF35 was renowned for its smooth operation and precise control, setting the standard for three-point hitch performance in its era. This cylinder maintains those original specifications, ensuring your tractor retains its excellent hydraulic characteristics. This shaft is manufactured from quality steel with the proper hardness and surface finish to handle years of hydraulic cycling without wearing out prematurely.

Installation Notes

This shaft fits right into your existing hydraulic lift assembly, but you’ll want to drain the hydraulic system and depressurize everything before starting work. Clean hydraulic connections thoroughly before assembly to prevent system contamination. While you’ve got things apart, it’s a good time to inspect the other components in your lift system for wear – they all work together, and replacing worn parts now can save you from doing the job twice.
