    First time owner - MF 135 is the head gasket blown?

    From what you describe, it sounds like the cooling system is being pressurized by the cylinders. it could be the head gasket. The brown porridge sounds like previous owners attempt to bodge it up to either use it or sell it. Problems such as a blocked up radiator core and then further...

    massey ferguson #3 baler not picking up windrow clean. HELP

When you took the old one out, did coolant leak out the hole where the bulb goes, ive seen them become so encrusted that water / ie coolant dosent get to them at all. If its not...

    temperature gauge

    Is it a capilliary tube type, if so, is the tube kinked, or squashed anywhere along its length. As a rule, I always check those type of gauges with a known temperature gauge in a saucepan of water over a flame with the bulb in, and check where the needle points at 70, 80, 90, 100 C on the gauge...
