    Rototilling Rates?

    Hi All, A neighbor of mine leases his 2 acres of field put to various ethnic refugee farmers (who sell at local farmers markets). His old tenants had an old Allis WD and rototiller...but have since moved away. The neighbor asked me of id be interested in rototilling the 2 acres for the new...

    1970 MF135 Fuel Sender Issue

    Thank you both... The sender in the tank is definitely aftermarket, although, I'm unsure as to its age. When the ground wire is removed from the sender terminal post, the gauge goes clear to "F". The wiring looks to have all been done in just the last few years, as it's all newer wire. When I...

    1970 MF135 Fuel Sender Issue

    I've owned my 1970 MF135 (Perkins Gas) for about a year. The fuel gauge has always stayed right above E, and I finally got around to pulling the fuel sender out today...and it was oriented to the side of the tank, severely limiting the height of the float. Problem solved, or so I thought... So...

    No Oil Pressure after oil change (MF135)

    Thanks again everybody who helped contribute to answering my question. The tactor was just running for a bit, and was showing good oil pressure. I'll be replacing the gauge sometime this week. Hopefully this thread can help another novice tractor owner (like myself) in the future.

    No Oil Pressure after oil change (MF135)

    I'd wondered about that...I've got some Permatex PTFE paste...and I'd also thought about blue (medium/hand tool removable) Loctite...

    No Oil Pressure after oil change (MF135)

    At some point in the tractor's life, someone must have really stripped out the factory drain hole, as there is a threaded bung that's been welded onto the pan and the drain plug is just a steel pipe plug that threads into it. There unfortunately wouldn't be a way to get a crush washer on it, as...

    No Oil Pressure after oil change (MF135)

    Now, I plan to order a Bosch pressure gauge to replace the Chinese one that came on the tractor. I see no blockage in the old gauge, nor is there a blockage in the steel flared line that runs to the gauge. Apparently it just so happened that the gauge gave up right around the time I did the...

    No Oil Pressure after oil change (MF135)

    Thank you both for the recommendations. I noticed there was an adapter on the dash gauge end, so I removed the gauge and threaded the adaptor on the threaded elbow I was trying to remove in the previous picture. I'm quite relieved, as you'll see in the attached image, I do have pressure...

    No Oil Pressure after oil change (MF135)

    Before I go and booger this fitting up trying to remove it from the block, and suggestions on how to get it off? There are no flat edges for a wrench to get a hold on it. I put the closest fitting wrench on it I could find, and it won't budge.

    No Oil Pressure after oil change (MF135)

    No, just was saying this engine was rebuilt not that long ago and I didn't want to risk damaging it.

    No Oil Pressure after oil change (MF135)

    Yep, I've not done that with any of my vehicles in the past, but given the taller filter on this, I probably should have here... Odd thing is that even after I put the old filter (full of oil) back on, the gauge doesn't move (but as mentioned above, I do seem to get strong pressure out of the...

    No Oil Pressure after oil change (MF135)

    Thanks...I just undid the steel tube fitting that goes from the block to the pressure gauge and cranked the engine, a very strong spurt of oil came shooting out...so I'm hopeful this is just a case of a bad gauge. This engine only has about 300 hours on it since it was rebuilt, so I think I'm...

    No Oil Pressure after oil change (MF135)

    I've ordered an oil pressure gauge and it'll get here tomorrow. I assume I can just check the pressure by pulling the coil wire and cranking the engine over? Or do I need to start the engine for a few seconds? I did use a bit of PTFE tape (2 wraps), on the drain plug, as it had some on it when...

    No Oil Pressure after oil change (MF135)

    I've owned this 1970 MF135 (Perkins gas) for about a year. I got around to changing the engine oil and filter yesterday, and when I attempted to start today, I noticed the oil pressure gauge didn't move at all, so I shut off the machine. I know the gauge had worked only a few weeks ago when I...

    Position Control Lever/Shaft Jammed (MF135)

    Thanks Ray... Just to confirm, penetrating oil should go in here where the position control tube enters the gearcase? (Image is from underneath, looking upward)

    Position Control Lever/Shaft Jammed (MF135)

    Sorry, I should have mentioned, that black "stop knob" is not hindering the movement of the lever...as it is loose and out of the travel path. I'm wondering if heating up around where the position control lever enters the case would be worth a shot...although I'm not sure if there are seals of...

    Position Control Lever/Shaft Jammed (MF135)

    Hi All, My MF 135's 3 point hadn't raised up the entire way (loaded or unloaded) since I bought it a year ago. I got looking today, and the position control lever isn't even up all the way (about 3 more inches to go before it's in constant pumping position). I have a feeling this could be why...

    MF135/MF20 Gas Drip Out of Air Intake

    Thank you all for your input. So it sounds like it may not necessarily be an issue with the needle and seat then? Seems the leaking fuel into/out of the intake has always been associated with needle/seat or sticky float on my small engine carbs in the past, but then again I've never experienced...

    MF135/MF20 Gas Drip Out of Air Intake

    Hi All, The last 2 times I've used my 1970 MF 20 (3 cylinder Perkins gas), I've noticed a stain on my right boot. It smelled like gasoline, and sure enough, right above where my right foot is (tractor has a foot throttle) is the air cleaner duck-bill looking thing. When I bought this tractor...

    MF135 Three Point not raising high enough

    Today for the first time, I hooked my Ford 706 dirt scoop onto the three point of my 1970 MF135. I noticed the three point arms didn't raise as high as I expected. They probably come up 75% of the way and for about 2 seconds as the arms were topping out, they made small but fast jumping...
