MF 135 Emblems

[ohio cuda]

I'm rebuilding my MF135 and need some help on the rear 135 emblems. After searching blogs it appears the USA 135 emblems are different mounting, who makes these? My pin to pin is 3-1/4 center to center and runs right down the middle north to south and 4-1/8 diameter. The emblems for sale have offset pins. Does anyone make the USA version? Thanks Jon Here are some pictures

Sorry. Can't answer your questions? AGCO now owns Massey Ferguson so I'd start there.

That's one great looking 135 restoration. Looks like you grit blasted the whole tractor.

I did a similar resto on my 1964 MF135 diesel with Multipower.



Post more pictures as your project continues.

Good luck

Those are some meats on the rear flusher. Old tractors are fun to play with and get a little work done in the process. I found this MF135 near Ashtabula Ohio. It spent it's life on a farm growing grapes, 2100 hrs on the Perkins Diesel, 8 speed.
The family retired from farming and stuck her on Craigslist. She runs great but needed a little makeup so we blasted off the years of battle scars. I'll keep you posted.

Those are 18.5x16 tires (16 inch rims). According to the previous owner he bought them used from a farmer who had run them on his combine. The PO used that 135 with the wide tires in his olive orchard to mow and disc between the rows of trees. It squats real low to pass under the tree branches. The front spindles were shortened to keep the tractor level.

It's fun to drive. But the "power assisted" steering is not that good--you get a nice upper body workout muscling that 135 around the hayfield. There are aftermarket kits available with a hydraulic ram to get true power steering on the 135, but I never got around to doing that upgrade.
