The Restore Begins

[murphy1244]

Am starting my restore on my 1967 MF135 Diesel Deluxe.

Anyone have a idea how the seat pan pin comes out? Need a way to unload the CaC2 from the rears too.

Looking forward to this.


Did you get the manuals from your MF dealer??

Best wishes. The TBN member - The Kid might be able to help. I think he restored one. I'm not sure.

Take a punch and tap it out in either direction. There is a bent over lock on the rod. Take a lever and pry it up a tad and push the pin out.

Thanks Kid, I'll give it a wack tomorrow. I did look at it in the parts book and I guess they pean it?

Well Kid, I beat on that pin but good and it won't budge. Did pry up that middle catch. Any ideas.?

Well Murph it must be rust frozen. The hinge is basically the rod pushed thru rolled steel linking both pieces together and secured with a metal locking tab. That is if we are speaking of the same factory bucket seat. I recently converted mine back to a factory bucket seat. I just didn't feel comfortable in the ring seat. Put some rust cutter on the rod and let it soak. -kid

I added a picture of those bent over locks. There are two, one short and one long. -kid

It might be buggered up on one end. After prying up the lock try pushing it out in the other direction.
