I have the 6(?) speed transmission. 3 forward 1 reverse X High/Low. I went to bush hog a ring around my hayfield and I couldn't get it out of reverse. I put it neutral, and pushed the tractor forward, then drove around in Reverse to see if it would loosen. NO LUCK. I did a google search...

I need to haul a new holland square hay baler down here. Anyone got any suggestions on an economical way to do that?? Its too wide to drive down and the tires are really made for the road.

I have been told its close to tire changing time on my 135. Rims are rusty and have some curled edges but the rubbers are seeing a fair amount of rot. Where do you go to look at tractor tires. We have some MF dealers (far away). But I there are some tire places closer that sell 18 wheeler...

I am having some work done on my MF 135 and I need to know where I can get good parts. I am looking for a wiring harness, guages, and the "O" rings to stop the fuel leaks. I have done some searches here but I must not be putting in the right buzz words b/c its not been successful. Thanks

Sorry for a silly question but I am just getting my 135 running after it has been down for over a year. Where do you refill the hydraulic fluid at. I have the repair manual but it doesn't give any info (that I could find) on where the refill point is for the hydraulic system. I found the...

I bought a 50" Befco RFM for 450 Sat. And I bought a Leinbach 9" auger for 300. Were these decent prices? The mower has its original paint but minus the driveshaft and two of the original wheels (has some other ones that you can tell arent' the same), and the auger is brand new with everything.

I was told by a local guy who refurbishes old Masseys that I could use diesel fuel to clean out the hydraulic fluid. It is extremely contaminated with water and looks like vanilla milk. I just drained the fluid out but now I am wondering if I should have left it in and added the diesel...

Does anyone know where I could order a bolt on ROPS for my 135? I am new and would rather play it safe while I am learning.

I have read some of the other posts about rear finishing mowers. I was wondering if they are worth the money? And can my MF 135 pull a 7' mower. I have about 2-3 acres to mow and it is wearing out my little 38" riding mower. I have been wondering about these mowers for a while. What is the...

Where can I find the serial number for this tractor? I don't know how old it is. I looked on the steering column and its not there. Where else can I look?

I bought one at auction for $2300. It is a diesel MF 135. It needs new tires in front, and I am thinking of getting turf tires for the rear. I will use it for mowing and some augering for fence posts. If anyone has any model specific information please spill the beans. The current rear...

I have an chance at bidding on a MF 255 1978 model with almost 1700 hours. Are there any known issues (problems) with this model or with MF in general. I am a noob and not brand loyal to any make, I would like just a dependable older tractor to bushhog, move dirt and do a little augering and...

This MF is coming up for bid this weekend and I was wanting to bid on it--but I don't know what would be the top price for this tractor and implements. Any help from some of the pros at this forum would be appreciated. I live in East Tennessee at the foothills of the Smokeys if geographic...

I am wanting to buy a tractor. I am new to this forum and to farming in general. Here is my situation, 9 acres mostly cleared, two creeks and a large depression in the middle of my field that stays wet.( I think it just doesn't drain to the back creek--or could be high water table...
