    How to wire a potentiometer to the fuel gauge

    This is in response to an earlier question about a MF135 fuel gauge. The original setup used the 4th terminal of the voltage regulator with a resistance to lower the voltage to the gauge. I learned this the hard way when my original voltage regulator failed and the new one was all solid state...

    Fuel Guage

    Your tractor originally came with a Delco 10DN alternator and external voltage regulator on the dash next to the battery. The voltage regulators 4th terminal supplied the voltage to the fuel gauge. That 4th terminal had a resistance in it to lower the voltage to around 4 to 5 volts for the...

    Massey Ferguson 135 block

    A year ago I replaced the original diesel rope seal block in my MF 135 with a lip seal block. I ordered a new short block kit out of Canada that came with all the parts to make the conversion. The parts were from Vapormatic of the UK. I believe Vapormatic has bought the rights to make the...

    Electronic voltage regulator

    I also have a MF135 and have had to replace the original mechanical voltage regulator with an electronic one. The mechanical regulator had a resistor on the 4th terminal that cut the voltage to approximately 4 volts for the fuel gauge. You cannot just hook the fuel gauge to 12 volts as it will...

    old MF-135 diesel - constant blue smoke

    I have a MF135 that I bought that had about 100 hours on a new overhaul. It had 4200 hours on the engine. It smoked some for being a new overhaul but the rest of the tractor was in such good shape and a good deal that I bought it. Over the next 13 years of using it the smoking got...

    Homemade Clutch Alignment Tool

    For those that have the dual clutch there was a post by Aaron Ford back in 2006 about a homemade clutch alignment tool made out of sockets. I have included the original post where he made it out of a 6" x 1/2" carriage bolt with the end sharpened off and jammed into a 7/16 socket followed by a...

    MF-135 engine block

    Thank-you everyone for the advice on the engine block in the message I posted earlier. I contacted a local tractor salvage yard and he is in the process of locating a usable block for me. I was afraid that was the conclusion after I saw how much damage there was. You are right David. I...

    Question for David P. and other diesel experts

    I have a 1973 MF135 diesel with the AD3-152. I bought it 13 years ago with about 200 hours on an engine overhaul. I noticed it smoked some then, but it started immediately and had good power. It still starts immediately but has progressively gotten much worse with oil smoke to the point I had to...

    subcompact stability on hills

    Bryant, I can offer my experience with a JD 4100 subcompact tractor that my parents purchased in 2000. We had a IH H sized tractor growing up and I presently have a Ferguson TO-20 and MF135. The 4100 has fluid in all the tires and the wheels are turned out as wide as they will go. Even at...

    MF 135 fuel gauge

    The fuel gauge on my MF-135 diesel was not working so I got a new gauge and new tank sending unit. However it does not register on the tractor. I touched the 12 v positive post to the battery and the gauge registers to full. The gauge is supplied with power from one of the terminals on the...

    Ford-Dearborn Plow Brochure

    Hank: I would be interested in those shares as I have a Dearborn plow that they would work on. If there is a way I can get a hold of you, email, phone, etc. please post it and I will reply.

    Question for The Old Hokie

    Some time ago you showed pictures of an offset front mounted hydraulic pump driven off the crankshaft pulley that did not require cutting a hole in the front grill of an N tractor. How is that project progressing? It appeared to be very neat setup. Thanks for any information.
