60s Massey 35 w/Bucket & Backhoe

This is the little tractor that could. No hour meter but in the 10 years I've owned it more than 300 hours of digging and loading and she still runs like a watch. The loader and hoe are Shawnee and work great. I've had guys who run backhoes for a living say they are surprised that so little a tractor can handle such heavy equipment. Hydraulics are slow and you do one thing at a time ...dig, lift, swing, empty etc. etc. Swing is chain drive. I'm interested in meeting others online with similar interests and seeing their machines too. I could also use advice as to how to improve the hydraulics so that I could do two or three things at once with the hoe like lift, curl and swing all at the same time.
