Loader fluid tank leaking from multiple spots

Hydraulic fluid tank on loader leaks from multiple spots, causing significant fluid loss. User reports the loader arm serves as the tank and leaks like a sieve.

My new (to me) tractor

MF35 that seems to be made from several different tractors and has many mismatched parts. Needs an engine rebuild though.

Massey Ferguson 35 gearbox “problem”
low

I have an Ag spec mf35 that had a new backend/gearbox off of some industrial version or something quite a few years ago and ever since the reverse and 1st gears have swapped places. Does anyone know if there was a difference in gearbox? Not really a problem because it’s funny watching people drive it for the first time. Thanks.

196? MF35 Loader
low

What up guys- have the strange question of the day for ya I am going through enough hydraulic fluid to turn the yard into a superfund site because the fluid tank of the loader is leaking. This would not be an issue but for some reason this seems to use the loader arm as a tank??? And it’s leaking like a sieve from a couple spots Has anyone had luck mounting a proper reservoir to one of these older machines? I mostly use the rear so I want to leave that relatively clear around the PTO. I think 10 gal would be more than enough I am going to be converting to double acting lift soon + I broke the bucket tilt so it’s time to tear down some hydraulics I think
