[AT] MF 230 loader hydraulics

[Chad Stansbury]

Hey All,
With all the Massey talk going around lately it reminded me of an issue with my Dad's MF230. The 230 is mid 1970's and still has the transmission driven lift pump. His tractor has a Bushhog loader mounted with the hydraulic supply coming from the selector valve mounted on top of the transmission. The oil return is piped in via galvanized pipe fittings that are adapted to the oil fill plug next to the shifter. We'd like to find a better way to pipe the return line and allow for the placement of quick-connects so that the loader is really quick-attach. Can anyone point me in the direction of a return port on the rear of the tractor? I have pics. available showing the current configuration if that would help too.
Regards,
