Hi there.
I needed a tractor for mowing the lawn at our new house so blindly bought a MF130 - only to find out that in the english speaking world they are scarce and nothing like a 135!!! Already done the brakes - ridiculously easy - but nightmare replacing the starter which burnt out - An old CAV which shredded itself when the ancient ignition jammed on. Found one the same size off an old Fiat but had to get pinion changed over and only the top bolt hole lines up - it works though. Good old 4 cyl Perkins running like a dream but now joined this site to try and find out how to replace my gear lever which snapped off at the ball (very bad weld by a previous owner)......the joys of old tractors!
