New Topic

[Floydferguson]

I was told to post a topic about a tractor that is not mine by Jim? What does that mean? I thought this forum was to help each other out on their questions about their tractors? No wonder why i do not see any late post but only see years back when i look for post on my Massey Ferguson. It seems that i see a lot of information on specs that do not fit.

Hi Floyd, Jim was wanting you to start your
own topic that hopefully would have a title
related to what info you are looking for.
This allows for anyone who may have some
helpful info know what you are looking for.
Not everyone looks at every topic and more
don't read every reply. Your topic labeled
new topic doesn't tell us what you are after,
and neither does your comments. If you edit
your post include exactly what it is you are
wanting, what tractor it is for, and any
other information that you feel might be
helpful for someone to help you

Good morning,

13fx pretty well summed up why I suggested you start a new post about your tractor and its problems. The post you first tagged on to, referenced an engine like yours, it was about a different tractor. The parts connected to the engine might not be the same. And someone with MF135 interest might not look at the MH444 post and see your problem.

I gave you a link to the Agco parts book for the MF135 in my reply to you in that post. Have you looked at that parts book to see if it can shed any light on the parts you are looking for? I posted some info I came across related to the flywheel studs and bolts you asked about. Did any of that help? I will say it is possible the original studs may not have been equally threaded on both ends. If there was a shorter thread on one end it might have gone into the crank hub to bottom out and leave the correct protrusion on the flywheel end, just a thought. The drawing in the parts book shows studs or bolts were used. From the post you made about your flywheel and clutch (along with the oil filter change you are looking at) I think you solved the flywheel stud problem but I am not sure.

In the post yesterday evening you attached to another thread it looks like you are now having problems with the pressure plate to flywheel bolts. The 135 used at least three different ones depending on the type of PTO. Basic single stage clutch for a transmission PTO (PTO and travel stops when the clutch is disengaged). Two stage clutch for a live PTO (Pushing the pedal down about halfway stops the PTO without stopping travel and pushing it fully down stops the PTO and travel. The PTO lever may have 3 positions Engine, neutral, ground). A split torque clutch was used with the Independent PTO (PTO has a separate hydraulic clutch to operate it separate from the mechanical travel driveline of the other type PTOs. It would have a PTO lever on the dash). The pressure plate bolts vary with the clutch. I recently put a two-stage clutch in a 135 (Perkins, so the flywheel to crank connection is different). The pressure plate bolts (5/16 - eighteen TPI) had shorter than standard thread length and longer than standard shanks if I remember right. I think they were about 1-1/2 long but am not sure on that. Which clutch do you have? Are you working around the pressure plate to flywheel bolts evenly, in stages, as you tighten them? I have seen them bind if unevenly tightened in, as it cocks the pressure plate.

Be patient on getting answers, responses may not be immediate. Break your information, problems, needs into paragraphs. Ask specific questions. Some of us are getting old and slower and the better things are separated and laid out, the easier it is to understand and help you. There is a lot of guys here with more MF knowledge than me, who will be along to help, it just might not be immediate answers.
