What MF -135 mfging year with Serial # 9A I05824

[DeerNightmare]

Trying to find the mfging year for my MF 135 having a serial # of 9A I05842. Can I assume the " I " means 'initial year' since it seems that the MF 135's started in 1967 with the "9A" prefix.

Your "I" is likely the number 1.

These are the starting serial numbers for the Massey Ferguson 135 for each year of build. Production ran for 11 years between 1964 and 1975, with many of the tractors still in use on farm today. The tractor identification plate that has the serial number stamped on is located on the instrument panel, just below the steering wheel.

YEAR SERIAL NUMBER
1964 641000001
1965 641001909
1966 641014871
1967 9A10001
1968 9A39836
1969 9A63158
1970 9A87325
1971 9A107519
1972 9A128141

1967 same year as mine

I have a MF-135 with serial number 9A 166376. Would it be safe to say that this tractor was built in 1973?

Right, so the OP's tractor is a 1970 year. 1967 is one digit place short.
