    Massey-Harris 35 pull type combine, or Massey 300?

    Thanks all for the comments. I'm not totally sure that it is a live PTO. (Nor am I sure that it's an independent). However, there is a lever by the left foot in mine, and a cover plate, and the lever's placement on that cover plate is quite far forward. I've also seen a photo and caption...

    Massey-Harris 35 pull type combine, or Massey 300?

    Hi all, We had an amazing first year homesteading and are looking at scaling up our farm a bit. We've only got 4 acres though. While very small, at the price points I'm searching in (Under $2,000), between the time savings for harvesting, winnowing etc. and the fact that we would have to buy...

    MF 135 Diesel wont start

    Bearn's advice is spot on. You need to bleed the injectors, all three of them potentially.. Bleed the one closest to the wheel first - if you can get fuel squirting from it with no air bubbles, then tighten down the bleed screw you may be able to start the engine and clear out any air...

    135 diesel stopped running

    MF240 - ran out of fuel.

    Air is in your lines. You need to purge it. If you're lucky you may be able to get away with just loosening the nut on the injector closest to the driver seat then operating the manual fuel pump lever a few times. Have someone else watch for fuel spraying out. It will come out with a lot of...

    MF135 - Live or Independent PTO & Hydraulics creep?

    Hi, I have what I believe is a Canadian 1968 MF135 Deluxe model with pressure-control, diff lock and light dimmer switch with backlit gauges. The information / serial number plate is long gone so identification is tough. The tractor was maintained and cared for very well until the last few...

    MF38 loader on a 135 - lift capacity / unloading impleme

    Hi all, I'm new to farm stuff so apologies in advance if this is a ridiculous question. We recently acquired a 1968 MF135 with a Perkins diesel and a Model 38 trip bucket loader on it. See attached photo. It looks a bit beat up but it starts and runs perfectly. The handmade wood cab is...
