    Lower link support pin loose, hydraulic leak

    I just got this tractor (MF 135 Diesel, 1970 model) running and there is a leak around the lower link arm. In the photo, the entire support pin moves and spins freely. What kind of repair am I looking at? I am likely going to need to do a pump rebuild, so I'll be opening it up.

    MF135 Diesel maybe engine stuck

    Looks like you made your own seal/bushing install tool. I am limited for materials and fabrication/welding skills. If I bought this set, I should be able to use. Or is there a better suggestion? https://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200379083_200379083

    MF135 Diesel maybe engine stuck

    Great info. What is the easiest way to tell if I have independant PTO? From just looking at it, since obviously, I cant test with the clutch.

    MF135 Diesel maybe engine stuck

    I am going with replacing the clutch. The tractor is 4 hours away and I can only work at it on weekends. I got some contacts for local machine shops for flywheel resurfacing (small town). I have the new clutch assembly, drive disk with pilot and release bearing. It's probably for the best. I'm...

    MF135 Diesel maybe engine stuck

    Thinking about this even more, correct me if I am wrong, but if the clutch plate is stuck, then when I try to crank the engine, the starter would be essentially trying to turn the entire transmission, drive the back wheels, etc. The engine itself could be free. All of the advice here is very...

    MF135 Diesel maybe engine stuck

    I think this is a good approach to try this weekend. If it's not stuck to the flywheel, the tire should turn freely. If it is stuck, turning the tire should turn the engine, correct? Ideally, I want to diagnose the engine before breaking it apart. If the clutch breaks free and it won't go out of...

    MF135 Diesel maybe engine stuck

    It’s 4 hours away and I can only work in it weekends. I can return the clutch if I abandon the project. What should I look for in the engine? The oil dipstick showed black oil with no other discoloration.. I’m guessing if a resurfacing is needed I’ll need to remove and take to machine shop

    If it is stuck to the engine flywheel, will the flywheel need. Resurfacing? Or replacing? So far I’m looking at this https://www.yesterdaystractors.com/Massey-Ferguson-135_Clutch-Kit-11-inch-Fine-Spline_12121420.html%3Cbr Untitled URL Link

    If I ordered this: https://www.yesterdaystractors.com/Massey-Ferguson-135_Clutch-Kit-11-inch-Fine-Spline_12121420.html It looks like everything i would need, or are there other things i need to consider once i have it open?

    How do i know if i have a single or dual clutch? Looking at the parts book now.

    MF135 Diesel maybe engine stuck

    Good idea. But the gears shift fine. I assume if the clutch is stuck in the lower position, the friction plate is not against the flywheel so it wouldn’t turn the engine. Or am I overthinking this?

    MF135 Diesel maybe engine stuck

    I am making a guess that the water got in prior to me putting a tarp over it last year. Probably through the gear shifts. the rubber boots are in bad shape. I looked down into the opening for transmission oil and could see no rust at all. I went through all the gears and they were smooth and i...

    MF135 Diesel maybe engine stuck

    I’m definitely leaning the way of whole new clutch. I’m wondering how water got in. It’s been in a slope with the clutch side downhill. Maybe at the brake lever. I don’t know how any would get in the engine itself

    MF135 Diesel maybe engine stuck

    Yea I’m not sure how the water got in. It sat for maybe 5 years. I drive it before that. There was an ongoing hydraulic leak when it was used. The gear compartment looks pristine. Problem is I need to unlock the clutch from neutral to rock the tractor and try to turn the engine. Or is there a...

    MF135 Diesel maybe engine stuck

    So I took off the clutch inspection plate and it was full of water. Looks like a lot of rust. Took some photos, sprayed it out, took some more. I didn’t have a way to jack it up and secure it so couldn’t look directly. Any ideas what I’m looking at? Can I about splitting it up maybe and replacing?

    MF135 Diesel maybe engine stuck

    Thanks. It’s not MP. I just got the new front tires on and will try rocking it tommorow. Found the plate and will look at it too. I looked in the small inspection hole near the shifter and watched the gears change and it appears clean. There was a hydraulic leak when it was parked so I have to...

    MF135 Diesel maybe engine stuck

    Thanks, that is helpful. What is meant by multi power? Yes, there is a small plate next to the gear shift I can remove. What would I look for? I have the manual but it’s a little overwhelming

    MF135 Diesel maybe engine stuck

    1970 MF135 has been sitting for few years. i hooked up the batter y. when i pressed the clutch, the clutch stayed in the depressed possition. i was able to put the gear in neutral, and move both gearshifts freely. When i tried to start, the starter engaged, but the crank shaft never turned, no...
