    MF 135 Lift problem, again.

    Last weekend I did as David suggested and flushed the tractor with diesel. I pulled the filter and found it to be badly clogged I cleaned the filter and refilled with fresh UTF to just below the inspection covers and ran the tractor, working the lift up and down. It looks to have fixed...

    MF 135 Lift problem, again.

    Hi guys, it's been a long while since I posted. Looks like my 135 has lift problems again. This time it will lift all the way up, but slowly on a cold startup. After about 10-15 minutes of running, the lift is so slow or doesn't move at all. I removed both left and right side covers today...

    135 starved for fuel

    I'm almost sure I've got a Wix filter on it. Can't remember if I put the O ring on the top or not. I remember it looking funny if I did that over a year ago. I'll tear into that first. Thanks for posting PT

    135 starved for fuel

    First, I know I've got some minor fuel leaks in a couple of places due to bad pipe sleeves or olives. I've got a full set of replacements on the way and will methodically work my way from tank to CAV pump to seal everything up the way it should be. But one thing I find troubling is that I...

    135 Lift Arms act weak/Master Control Spring issue?

    Ok looks like a false alarm, it started working, lifts it nice and high so i think we're good. Now on to the fuel system losing prime all the time issue. Save that for a new thread if i can't figure it out. Thanks guys! I'd be lost without you.

    135 Lift Arms act weak/Master Control Spring issue?

    Well I've finally got the new lift cylinder mounted and new piston rings as well as a new pressure relief valve for the pump. Got it all put back together and worked the position control yesterday and it was going up and down easily but had no weight on it. Got the brush hog hooked up and...

    Thanks Rock. Do i need to pull the pump to change the pressure relief valve? I may do it just to get a better look at it. Jeff

    135 Lift Arms act weak/Master Control Spring issue?

    I think I found the issue with my lift not working now... The piston looks ok, no cracks. I will get new rings though because this tractor would never hold an implement up in the air for long when turned off. Here's some more pictures of the linkage and inside the case...

    135 Lift Arms act weak/Master Control Spring issue?

    Checked the nuts and 1 was slightly loose. No cracks in the lift cover and the bolt/stud that this loose nut was on wouldn't turn, not sure if that's significant or not. Lift cover removal starts tomorrow, I'll report back with lots of pictures and questions for all you good folks I'm sure.

    135 Lift Arms act weak/Master Control Spring issue?

    It does have spring tension. It does not raise the arms however. Still not seeing any hydraulic fluid spraying or leaking anywhere inside. Hoping thats a good sign.
