Newbie here, new to the MF forum because I have just acquired a MF 135. I have visited the Ford forum as I have a 1949 8N.
Of course I have questions ! I have recently purchased the 135 as a pig in a poke, it may end up being more of a pig than I had hoped!
It is a 3 cylinder Perkins gas, tractor serial number 9a 164524 the engine serial number 152AU 23849A.
It did not run when I got it and I am now in the process of replacing ignition parts (weak/no spark) and going thru the carb. My main concern right now is I cannot get the shift lever to move in any direction, it is really tight with very little movement. previous owner said he drove it under the shelter about two years ago and had not started it since. Any info on the tractor would be nice and any ideas about the shiftier would be great!
