    Clutch not disengaging on MF135 diesel

    Thanks, I'll have to figure out some way to block the pedal down. I did drive it around a while, but only in first gear low, which doesn't put much strain on the clutch. Someone else recommended that I hold in the clutch and rock it back and forth (engine off) in high gear - easier said than...

    Clutch not disengaging on MF135 diesel

    My '72 MF135 diesel has been stuck in the mud since December, and I finally got it out today with a 12000lb winch that I mounted on the front (I broke an 8000lb comealong trying to move it a few weeks ago.) Getting it out was a little scary, because the clutch stopped working. As soon as I pop...

    Yes, though I'll keep looking for a better copy, you can barely make out what the pictures show. Scan of a bad photocopy, unfortunately. Scott in Penfield NY

    Massey Ferguson Hydraulics Manual for MF130 thru MF180

    I found this after EXTENSIVE searching online, only to lose it in a hard drive crash. I've found it again (after another DEEP search) and figured I'd make it available to all. This is the Massey Ferguson "Operator's Manual Basic & Auxiliary Hydraulic Systems For MF 130 Thru MF 180...

    First tractor - MF 135 Diesel (yay)

    The Perkins diesel in these 135s is well thought of, and I was surprised to learn that the gas motor is built on the same block, same crank, etc. I would guess that if it's well-built for a diesel, then for gas it's overbuilt! It should take any abuse that comes its way, without breaking a...

    I just got an Operator's Manual from eBay, here it is!

    I found a factory manual for the 135 online: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3bwzubbm6ecM1M2bE53SXNQNU0/edit I hope that link works, let me know if it doesn't. I don't know how complete this is, but it's over 400 pages. Worth a read. Scott in Brighton NY

    Want to mount Western Unimount snow plow on MF 135

    There's really no place on the front of the 135 to mount the plow frame, so the subframe idea is great. In fact, because my machine is a vineyard model, it may not even have the bolts that I see in the regular models' "front axle support" that bolts to the front of the block. I planned to use...

    Sales Literature for MF 135, 150, and 165

    Someone pointed me to some great brochures that were posted as images on a site in Europe somewhere, and I learned a lot from them, so I thought I'd make them into PDFs for easier viewing. The dates are just my less-than-educated guesses, so more accurate dates would be welcome...

    I just got an Operator's Manual from eBay, here it is!

    I just bought this old original 1974 Operator's Manual from eBay, a little greasy but complete, so I scanned it and created a PDF file. It can be found here: http://www.fidello.net/scott/Massey%20Ferguson%20MF135%20Operator%27s%20Manual%20%28from%201974%29.pdf HUGE help in understanding...

    Want to mount Western Unimount snow plow on MF 135

    I definitely would like to see more pics, and higher resolution, too, if you have them. Thanks! I've done more searching, and it seems that although a truck mount bolts under the front frame of a pickup truck, with a tractor, you want the pushing force to come from the rear axle, not through...

    What size tire will these chains fit?

    With tire chains that are 9 feet long by 15'' wide, what size tire will they fit? Is there a reference anywhere that anyone knows about that would give me this information? Will they fit on a 12.4-24 tire? Thanks, Scott in Brighton NY

    Want to mount Western Unimount snow plow on MF 135

    I'm sure this has been done before, so I don't want to reinvent the wheel. I've got a couple Unimount plows (have the lights and plow hydraulics and pump all together on the plow) and I also have most of a late '80s Ford F250 frame mount, which I had cut apart to rework it to fit a truck...
