    135 Fuel Problem

    This gas tractor runs fine for about 10 to 15 minutes and then simply acts like it runs out of gas. After a few minutes it starts fine and runs a few minutes and repeats. If I mess with the choke it runs longer. Any advice about the carb would be helpful. Thanks

    MF 135 Mower capability

    Will a MF 135 gas tractor pull and spin an 8ft agri-cutter mower. I mow on nearly level ground in pasture type grass? Should I look for a smaller mower?

    MF 135 Steering Box Lube

    My manual tells me that on the 135 w/o power steering to maintain fluid to the rt. pittman arm but I can"t figure out how to check it or fill it. Also, I"m considering purchasing a grader blade and mower for the pasture. What type of mower is best? Brush cutter, rotary or what? Also, is...

    MF 135 hydraulics problem?

    When tractor is shut off with hydraulic arms up, they ease down over the course of a few hours. That"s without an implement attached. My manual does not address this problem. What could be some likely causes? Also, could someone explain the locations of drain plugs and fill plugs for the...

    MF 135 Electrical Question

    Nevermind. It's amazing what happens when you gap points correctly. After posting my question, I read the correct way to do it under "Tune-up Guide" on this site, and bang, a good spark. Seems I gapped the points when they were closed on the flat section instead of the raised lobe section...

    MF 135 Electrical Question

    Me again, the newbie. Please help. New switch, coil, plugs, plug wires, distributor cap, points, condensor, and rotor. Properly gapped plugs and points. Turns over but no spark at plugs or coil wire. I"m sure I have juice to the points because I double checked the gap with the key in the on...

    MF 135 Electrical System

    That's true. It also reminds me of another question. Does the type of 12v coil I run matter since the tractor was originally 12v and not converted from 6v? I've read a lot about internal ballist and external resistors. Just wondering.

    MF 135 Fuel System

    Thanks, that makes sense. I just have so little experience with this type of engine it's all new to me. I've ordered a carb kit so that'll be my next project.

    MF 135 Fuel System

    Please don't laugh. Should a Z134 Continental Gas 4 cyl. engine have an inline fuel filter. I've yet to find one other than the sediment bowl. Also, where is the fuel pump? Does gravity simply allow fuel to flow to the carb? Thanks for all your help.

    MF 135 Electrical System

    Thanks guys. Maybe I"m just reading to many different people about 6v to 12v and assumed since I had a generator I had 6v which didn"t make sense to me with a 12v battery and coil.

    MF 135 Electrical System

    Me again. The newbie. I"m confused about the whole alternator/generator conversion. My tractor appears to have a generator but the battery is 12 volt and the coil is 12 volt. I guess from what I"ve read that the generator was used with a 6 volt system. Wouldn"t that need a 6 volt battery...

    Massey Ferguson 135 firing problem
