My family has a Massey Ferguson 135 my grandpa's brother purchased new and then my grandfather purchased it from him back in the early 80's. We took the tractor in to have the rear engine seal replaced which is a perkins diesel engine, and a steel line for the power steering motor. So I am...

I've owned the massey since 2009. Got stung. Engine ran good with no noticeable noise. Radiator low on water, didn't think it was a problem. Got it home, changed oil and filter, filled radiator, and started it. Water blew out the radiator cap hole. Blown head gasget? no big deal. Pulled the...

Hello everyone! I just purchased a 135 Massey Ferguson Tractor Z134 gas 4cyl with 6 foot brush hog. After getting it home and trying to cut my field the tractor was amazingly under powered. It seems the governor was not working. Further inspection reviled that I was missing the Governor...

Many years ago (1960s) I was familiar with MF 35 and 135 tractors in the UK. At the moment I am in South Africa staying at a friends vineyard. He has a MF135 and the 3pt lift arms have stopped working. The suggestion is that the hydraulic oil filter may be blocked and I would like advise on...

The front end on the Massey 135 I purchases last year is need of a rebuild. The spindles on each side travel up and down about a 1/2" in the axle extensions. I don't think the main axle has much play in it, it just seems to be the spindles on each side. Can I just replace the bearings and...

Based on the recommendations of a lot of neighbors, co-workers, friends, etc. I sought out a MF 135 and found this one about 45 minutes from my house. Came with a 5' Howse cutter. No idea on hours, the tach/hour meter isn't hooked up and only shows 79 hours, so it is neither original nor...

does anyone have a simplified wiring diagram for a 1967 135 with 3 cyl perkins

I just purchased a MF 135 at auction. It has an oil leak that appears to be right behind the crank shaft pulley. I assume this is the front crank seal leaking. Does anyone know of any other possibilities? Also how difficult is this to change. It has the perkins 3cyl gas enigne.

Hi Everyone, I am going to look at a MF 135 diesel next week and want to make sure I understand the differences in the models and difference between model years. Were the 4 x 2 transmissions optional or standard after a certain date? Do all the 135's have a generator? What about...

I just purchased a massey 135 and I believe there is something wrong with the 3 pt hitch. The tractor does not have any remotes. The position lever does not have any response on the lift moving up and down. The only way the lift will move up is if I move the draft control to the highest...

Hi Guys Hope you can point me in the right direction. I have a massey 135 and I need a new flail mower to replace my votex topper (180cm). I am about to purchase a Geo 175cm which weighs around 340kg (750LB). Will my tractor be powerful enough to run this flail? I appreciate long grass would...

Was the 6 or 8 speed transmission in the 135 synchronized? In other words were any built to be shifted on the roll? I seem to remember someone stating that on the 8 speed transmissions, that 1st and 4th were synchronized. I also thought I saw parts available for a "constant mesh" 8 speed, as...

Hello All, I have a MASSEY FERGUSON 135 and have spent out on a 3 point hydraulic log splitter. I have one hydraulic hose/pipe set up, and I have to attach the return hose to the tractor. I have been told that it is to be attached in the hole on the right just behind the pipe - now I am sorry...

Hi, I opened the two bolts on my diverter valve which is located on the rhs just in front of the seat. There is a long pipe/cylinder going down in to the transmission. After I bolted it back in place it does not work, the lift arms won't work any more. It feels like it is not sitting exactly...

I just bought a 1970 135 with a 3 cylinder Perkins gas. The fellow I bought it from had already broken it down ready to rebuild it. Obviously, I bought it in several hundred peices. It came with a new rebuild kit including new pistons, sleeves, rings, rod and main bearings, and gaskets. It...

Massey Ferguson 135 emblem, hood, and headlight differences. Why are there two different models of the 135? One has the grill headlights, 3piece hood, and 135 emblems up front. The other (the one I have) has a one piece hood, headlights on the side, and 135 emblems at the rear. What痴 the...

I don't know the year because I can't find the S/N but it is a n AD3 152 Perkins Deisel. We need to rebuild this but can't find the S/N to find the year. I have been told a by few that it is under the steering wheel under the gauges but I don't find any numbers. Is this on a plate or what...

Well guys, finally got the 135 running. Its still not pretty, and needs more work. The first main goal was to get the motor together and running. I still need the proper carburator (see the vise grips holding on the wrong size carburator! lol) The guy I bought it from ran it like that for years...

Im ready to put the timing cover back on. When I bought this thing, the governor was not hooked up and apparently had not been for a long time. On this Perkins 3cyl gasser, how important is the governor? This tractor will be used primarily for mowing pastures, box blading on occasion. The...

I just purchased a Massey Ferguson MF 135 and would like to identify the year. It's a Perkins diesel engine. I found the identify tag/plate with the serial number on it. The location of the tag/plate was on the side of the battery holder near the air cleaner. The serial number on the tag...

Does anyone know what the correct temp. thermostat is for a MF-135 diesal. I have a 130-140 thermostat now, I don't believe this is the right one.! When I replaced a head gasket, the company who did the head sent me a 130-140 thermostat, and know I have blown a hose. Should the thermostat be a...

Hello folks, first timer here... I'm looking at a 135 that the local dealer has. It's a 1972 I believe with the Perkins 3 cylinder gas engine. Has locking diff., full set of working gauges, power steering and a factory bucket. Runs good and the tin is in good shape, but it needs a fresh paint...

I was wondering how safe/feasible it would be to put a universal PTO backhoe implement on the back of my 135? Would it be prudent to fabricate a frame for it?

Hi Folks, I am a newbie. Just acquired the above tractor(1969). Somebody else loved it once but then some idiot used it for pulling boats out of the sea. A heresy! Still it could be in worse condition and I have a mind to make it nice as a partner for my 1953 TE20. Advice appreiated, perhaps...

I purchased a 1967 MF 135 not too long ago, and I absolutely love it aside from a few small issues (leaking oil pan and wiring). I am impressed with how easily the little perkins starts up and how well it runs. I started it today in 19 degree weather with no issues (like a gasser) and plowed...

For those of you interested in more pictures, I finally got the motor of of the tractor today and took a few pics. The more I took apart, the more money I will apparently be spending! It seems that my bell housing oiling system is working great! lol. Clutch is shot, outer timing cover will have...

I have a (I think 1972) Massey Ferguson 135. 3 cylinder gas (2wd). I have been having trouble with the rear lift arms raisin and lowering. They seem to have slow and weak operation. Lifting them with blade/mower attached doesn't seem to make much difference. The fast/slow lever on the right...

Having to rebuild this Perkins 3cyl gas motor. Thought someone might be interested in a few pics of the progress.

I saw some posts mentioning "Big Dean" as a good source of Massey info. Does anyone know if he has a web site? I guess as far as that goes, know of any other web sites with tech info on them? Thanks

Whats anybodys general opinion of the Massey 135? I found a 1971 model with a 4 cylinder gas motor. The motor smokes some but runs good, everything else works ( pto and hydro). I guess its the Continental brand motor (at least thats the only listing I could find that listed a 4 cyl gas...

I recently purchased an aftermarket hydraulic control for my 135. I have put it on, taken it off, etc because I can't get it to work properly. Apparently I don't know how it properly fit the metal tube that goes down into the transmission. I have tried it fitted into the bottom of the bolt on...

I have a 135 Perkins Diesel with no power steering and only a 3 point lift. I would like to use this tractor to rake hay with and have the other baling behind it, but the rake I bought needs 1 remote. I have read the manual, and it appears that you can take a hydraulic line off the 3 point...

Hello, I have a Massey Furgeson 135 with the 3 cylinder Perkins Diesel and am having Diesel in the Crank Case. I ordered a new lift pump ($37) and will be replacing that as a start. I am assuming the diaphragm may be broken as a source for the diesel in the crank. Any advise on replacing the...

I am thinking about buying a 135 diesel from a friends dad? It has been a while since i have seen it but i know it has a FEL and might come with a couple 3-point attachments. I know it has not been started in at least 12-14 years (maybe 20 or more) but has been kept in a closed barn since the...

After a couple of months use, I'm convinced I got the right tractor when I purchased my 135 diesel. My other tractor has a hydrostatic transmission and this one takes some getting used to to make speed changes using the throttle, but I'm getting the hang of it. The 135 will idle down real slow...

I removed my lift cover to fix a problem with my position control linkage. I fixed that but I found a crack in the cylinder wall. Is it difficult to replace the cylinder ? I'm concerned about any adjustments after replacement. I assume I should replace the piston and rings as well? I don't want...

Howdy all. I found a pretty neat little 3 cyl diesel MF-135 at a local tractor seller. It has the 3 speed transmission and manual steering. It had been sitting on his lot unmoved for 4 weeks. It started right up. Has 1988 hours on it. I drove it and all gears worked properly. Only one rear brake...

My 1964 MF-135 diesel is showing unusual oil pressure fluctuations. Oil pressure before this problem arose stayed in the 50-60 psi range constantly. Now after engine start the pressure rises to 30 psi at 1300 rpm, fluctuates between 20-30 psi for 7-8 minutes and then drops to zero or near zero...

My list of vintage balers for the 135 includes the MF-3, MF-35, NH-273, JD-14T and the IH-46. Are these the correct size balers for a 135-size tractor? Any others come to mind? How about availability now on the used market? Which of these old balers are numerous, which are rare? I'm in...

Since I got the 1964 MF-135 diesel about 18 months ago, I haven't used the pto at all. I noticed when I bought the tractor that it was hard to shift into the engine pto range but it did shift into that range after a lot of fiddling. The 135 has the manual 2-stage clutch and a 3-position pto...

Been looking for one of these for nearly a year. Plan to start haying 7 acres next year. This one appeared in Thursday's classified ads. Six foot sicklebar with hydraulic lift. Paid $150 for it. Good rubber on tires, drive belt and hydraulic lines. Some surface rust on the sickle bar. Paint...

My 1964 MF-135 diesel needs it's fuel line rerouted to eliminate an interference with the new vertical exhaust line I'm installing. The original exhaust was horizontal (the 135 is an orchard tractor) and I need it vertical to work in my hayfield. Here's a photo of the existing fuel line and the...

Engine is overheating after about 10 minutes of operation. Coolant coming out of the radiator overflow. Temp gauge in the red. I thought the crud on the radiator that was severely restricting the airflow was the cause. Cleaned the radiator thoroughly. Checked airflow with a piece of paper. It...

My 1964 MF-135 diesel has been retrofitted with an adapter that handles a spin-on oil filter, replacing the original cartridge type. I remember visiting a website that handles spin-on adapters for the primary and secondary fuel filters. Unfortunately I can't locate that site. Anyone out there...

Got this baby last July and finally have the time now to clean it up, repaint and rewire. While detailing the engine I discovered the ID tag under a thick layer of grease and grime. The tag is located under the battery tray on the right side bracket supporting the tray. The S/N is...

A few weeks ago my neighbor dragged this pull disc over to my place. It measures about 6-ft between the outer discs. Has disc scrapers too. Looks to be in pretty good condition considering it hasn't been used in over 10 years. Not a lot of rust. Hope a little Liquid Wrench and some grease will...

My neighbor says I should attach a few salvaged diesel engine heads to the front end. I've seen hunks of railroad track used as front end weights. Anyone out there have other innovative ideas for front end weights that I can pick up cheap at the junkyard (not including suitcase weights)?

I'm getting ready to change all the fluids in the 1966 MF-135 diesel that I'm fixing up. Changing the fuel filters requires bleeding the air from the fuel lines. That's an easy job on my 2005 Kubota B7510HST--just crank the starter. Question: is bleeding the lines a slam dunk or a big...

Anyone have a photo showing how the frame that comes with this kit attaches to the tractor?

Anyone out there know what this bracket with the spotty red paint is used for?

Anyone out there know the answer?

Has anyone out there rigged up auxiliary hydraulic ports on the MF-135? I have Big Gene Austin's CD on the MF-135 and it includes a ton of info on remote hydraulics. I haven't had time to wade through all of it. Just looking for info from someone who's actually tried to do this. Is there a...

My newly-acquired 1966 MF-135 was retrofitted with an alternator years ago. It's a Delco-Remy 12-B single wire unit. There's no external voltage regulator. Anyone familiar with this particular alternator? Is it related to the very common Delco 12SI? Output amps? There's a -60-0-60 amp ammeter...

Hello, I have a friend who is looking at a Massey 135 . How do you tell the diffrence between the US verses the UK version of the 135. And are the UK versions hard to get parts for.

What would be a fair price for a MF 135 all original with 3000h??

Dad finally decided he is going to tear down his old MF-135 and rebuild the motor as the plugs keep fouling out so bad and it doesn't have the power it should. He tried using the sleeves but they didn't help. Anyone have any tips or suggestions on this project? It is the 3 cylinder gas which I...

Ok, dealers are sparce here in SE Alabama. So, my options are a little limited. I can get a 1968 MF-135 for $5000 with 2150hrs. It has a PTO that stops when it gets warm that the dealer will fix. Or, I could go for a Chinese (Nortrac) for about $6000 that is new. So, seriously, what would...

The local dealer wants $5000 for a MF-135 with 2150 hrs. It's a 1968. The back tire has some cuts and the fronts are pretty worn. The PTO stops when it gets warmed up but he said he'll fix that. Otherwise it seems OK, for a 37 year old tractor. So, am I being suckered? This is in SE Alabama.

What horse power was this model. I know they had several different engines, but the one in question has a 3 cylinder gas engine on it. Thanks.

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 am new to old tractors. Is the MF 135 a good tractor........what for series is it close to in features?? thanks

Does anyone know if the MF 135's ever had soft or hard cabs, and/or if such things are available any more? It sure gets cold up here in Canada, when I'm out blowing snow. Many thanks. Peter H.
