    MF 135 lift arm bush

    Yes, still interested in the wheels. Email .. [email protected] I've been using a Rothenburger torch with mapp (yellow) gas. I'll try that tomorrow. I've got some pieces of railway track left over from years back (70 years +) when they were used for the uprights on the Dutch barn. Just...

    MF 135 lift arm bush

    I'm replacing the lower 3 point hitch lift arms but having a problem seperating the levelling yoke fork from the worn out lift arm. The bolt was easy enough but there is a steel bushing that had defied all efforts to remove it. The centre hole in the lift arm was sleeved to take the yoke fork...

    Draft control at the top link

    Hi David The rear centres I have are useable but pitted, the rims on the rear are "see through lace". The front tyres, the left has less tread than a racing slick but the right isn't too bad. They all hold air but that's about the only good point. I've tried 'brass rubbing' the rears to read...

I want to understand things before I try to repair, restore or replace in the hope that I do a better job that...

The >Hi David, I've been working away on the back of the 135 and have reached the top of the lift cover. Read everything about the draft control spring I can find but still not sure how it works. I...

    MF 135 swinging drawbar frame

    [Thanks, I'm hoping to release the lower frame, remove 50 years of rust, treat and paint Renew the small retaining pins and their chains plus the rear pins that set the amount of swing for the drawbar. The drawbar is also missing the clevis(?).I'll treat the base that bolts onto the tractor in...

    MF 135 swinging drawbar frame

    Thanks for your replies. Am I correct in thinking that the rear (on the tractor) cross pin is released allowing the lower frame to pivot down. The drawbar is inserted between the two rear pins, slides to the back and then I'm not sure what happens.The large vertical pin at the engine end of the...

    MF 135 swinging drawbar frame

    Thanks, that's perfect. Now I can see how it works and presume it fixes to the underside of the tractor through those four holes in the top part of the frame. Can only see two fixings but I haven't been able to release the lower half yet thanks to rust and guess the front two are hidden until...

    MF 135 swinging drawbar frame

    Can anyone confirm the best way to remove this from the belly of the tractor. There appear to be 2 bolts towards the rear locating vertically and two bolts towards the front of the frame fixing horizontally into each side of the transmission. I've yet to work out how the drawbar locates to the...

    MF 135 brake cross shaft assy

    I now have the two brake drums removed and hopefully ready to start replacing everything. When the drums came off there was a large mix of retaining springs, adjustors, brake shoes, pins/washers, rust and compost. The back plates are badly corroded, the alignment adjusters are wasted and...
