What model?

Totally different engine, but I had a similar leak years ago that turned out to be a leaky gasket.

Do you have a picture as to which plug you are missing?

I am unable to upload the file here, but will be happy to send it to you via email. just PM your preferred email address to me and I can send it. My electronic copy does not match what you have as it covers all models up to 1973. Alan

You might try a search for the manual here on the site. I think there are either links or the manual is available. I tried to upload my copy, but it is too big (even compressed) for the site.

It looks to be a 1973 model. Welcome to the forum

My 135 did not come with lights or an alternator or amp meter. All of these are new and the wiring will not match up with what is in the book for the year my tractor was made. If I was rewiring, I would make note (including pictures) of how everything is wired and just redo it. If wire color is...

I'm with pmsmechanic. I would ask the shop that did the work if there is a way to lower the pressure. I have a 135 and have always had problems with leaks. I have done several seal replacements and leaks persist. Others have reported similar experiences. I am resigned to just adding more fluid.

Here is some information on the MF 145 that might get you started: https://tractor-data.com/massey-ferguson-145/ Looks like the 145 only came in a diesel configuration, if that web site is correct.

Would a regular pressure washer and some detergent like Dawn do the same thing or does it need to be hot water?

Welcome. i did a search for your part number 181995M1 (no space) and found multiple sources. As you did not specify a location, I won't list any of the sources here, but you can Google the part number and find them. Alan

I have two dealers each about 35-45 miles from me, but they rarely have the parts I need. I order stuff online. There are a number of places to get parts from. Good luck.

Unfortunately, this is not uncommon with many manuals. Try something ubiquitous like the owners manual for a car and then look at the shop manual and note the differences. I usually ask one of the mechanics or service managers at the auto place on the recommended procedures for the car or...

There is no such thing as too many tractors. Good luck with your new FEL Alan

About 15 years ago I had the opportunity to by a MF FEL from a guy who had it on his 135. When I asked him why he was selling it, he showed me his tractor. The front end was bent pretty badly. Needless to say, I passed as I didn't want my 135 to look like his. Alan
