Massey 565 and 80 loader

[Massey_3115]

I have been trying to hunt down a 2 or 4wd 4 cyl Massey 3000 series to put a loader on and enjoy some comfort and speed on my small holding, but still feeling the scars Of having a A - B gear box repair on an old 3090 many years ago, it has put me off the older 3000 series so I think I'm rightly or wrongly going to put an 80 loader on my spanner fixable 565. Unless everyone shouts keep searching!?

I have a couple of q's, does anyone know the bolt sizes that I will need for the underbelly brackets front and rear?

The second question is spool valves. The 565 only has 1 At present. I have some spare slices that came with the loader, is this much of a job to fit and add on?? Can I do it from underNeath? Or do I need to take the seat base etc out?

Thank you for your help in advance

The bracket under bell housing will have bolts there already, but maybe you need longer?
Think you can add more slices to spools, well you can for sure, I done it on my 398, I needed a spacer but don't think you will. Pretty sure spools just under cab like on 600 series
Nothing wrong with 80 loader. Do you have auxiliary pump?

Probley easier to take the seat base out ,see what go,s where better .
The 80 loader we had was on a 675 ,fitted from new by the dealer ,,one splice to feed the lift under left hand step and the two feeds for bucket ram under right step ,just standard push fit couplings for quick detachment of the loader .

I don't think there is an auxiliary pump.

There is only two bolts in bell housing holing plate on at mo - I'm sure I will need longer. I can't see what thread of length the front bracket would be

I was just looking at the same thing

My front brackets are nothing like that, I just welded them to the weight frame

Just take one out n get four the same but an inch longer

they should be studs and nuts under the bell housing 5/8" unc tractor end, unf nut end, about 3" long. front plate bolts are 5/8" unc about 2" long or longer if you have a weight frame. need to remove seat and floor to fit spools

Pretty sure mine are bolts under the bell housing, is that okay or do I need to change them?
