massey ferguson 135 us
I just purchased a 135 mf Needs tlc but starts good has new clutch . I checked the serial plate it is a 1967 and built in US . The part above the box is pissing fluid as fast as I can dump it in. Power steering parts are hard to find . If i want to change it to standard will the box from a 1965 gas model interchange?? Or can I convert my power to standard , or maybe it cannot be done. this thing is heavy to steer with no fluid .. regards Ron

Been plugging away at the old MF 135- 1967 with power assist steering and differential lock problems. found out the previous owner has the diff-lock engage arm spring stretched and the pedal assy is slipping on shaft , We lubed it up tightened the pinch bolt ,adjusted it and presto, its fixed and works well. have the pwr steering motor apart and waiting for seals , strangely its not leaking as bad, but still does not want to centre . If my searching is right the manual steering and the power have the same sectors which could easily make the box standard by taking the rack,cylinder ,pump and hoses off entirely and still have regular steering if the ,orbital motor repair is a failure. then i could buy the rackstyle kit off e-bay for $585.00 cdn.
then having true pwr steering there is a bit of welding ,but I have my own shop and my son is a professional welder, by trade. have our oun mig and stick welder cant remember when we had the stick going. weather forecast is calling for 15 cm of snow tomorrow and 80 klm winds , and no tractor to go out and play. Oh well the snow does'nt last long now with april coming tomorrowas well . PLease!!!! excuse my punctuation, when i write on the forum.I don't like typing with my cumbersome fingers and tend to just type as I have to keep my eye onthe keyboard.. Surprised I never had a reply with 96
hits on my prev post.
