Is this site still active? I have just bought a 1969 MF135 diesel, and have set about replacing some of its most worn or rusted parts. It has been used for some years as a haul out vehicle for a fishing boat, so the rear stabiliser brackets and rear rims have rusted and the transmission oil had water in it. Otherwise it runs like a dream and responds well to some love and care.
We have a 20 acre block and plan to use the MF for a wide range of jobs. I am suprised at the availability of parts here in NZ and at the very reasonable price for varous bits and pieces.

I have a question, when reading a MF 135 Serial Number does the “1″ at the beginning (after 9A) look similar to a “T”?

I am working on Massey Ferguson 135, 1968 tractor and the identification plate is missing. Is there any where else the number might be stamped on the body of the tractor? If not how do I go about getting it registered for vintage shows and road runs.

Hello, My neighbor has a 1974 MF 135 which is uses to brushhog.
When he raises the brushhog up off of the ground, it keeps bumping against the drive shaft of the tractor continuously. What could be the problem?
Also, we are not certain what the inside lever by the seat it for? Help.

Hi Steve

Great finding your site this evening.

I am based in South Africa and have an MF 135 which we use for grass cutting on our farm. It’s been a real workhorse and in the past 4 years at any time I could jump on it and start it, even in mid winter. This year however a lot of dirt that had accumulated in the diesel tank started a series of fuel supply problems which I have slowly been ironing out.

In the process of working on it I’ve taken an added interest in this tractor and its history and that’s when I found your site after a bit of Googling. I would love to know this tractor’s age but I simply cannot find a serial number plate on it anywhere. There are numbers in various places on the engine block but none of them match up with any of the serial numbers on your site. How else could I go about identifying my Massey 135? I could take some photos which might help to narrow it down.

The restoration bug has bitten me a little and I’m keen to start replacing little things that are missing on it.

The fuel tank problems resulted from a missing fuel gauge on the tank. It had a big hole in the tank where the fuel gauge is supposed to fit from the time we bought it. I originally took a piece of rubber and siliconed it over that hole but over time it peeled loose and let a lot of dust and muck into the tank. Ultimately I’m trying to find a second hand fuel gauge so that when she comes back from being reconditioned I can fit that and actually have a working fuel gauge.

I’ve pretty much ironed out the fuel problems and she’s running strong. Under load (driving with pto driving slasher) the motor dies and it seems air was getting into the fuel system somewhere so I replaced all the fuel lines to rule out any possibility of a cracked pipe somewhere. Just need to replace a copper washer on one of the banjo pipes on the CAV injector pump which has a very slow drip and then I’ll fire her up again and test her under load. That’ll happen in the next day or two.

I’d love to get hold of a workshop manual for the MF135, do you know where I can get one? Preferably in PDF format. Could you also recommend any sources of Vintage parts for the MF 135? Over time I’d love to see her fully restored with all the missing bits and pieces that seem to have disappeared during her life before I became the owner.

If there is some way I can start off by identifying it’s year of manufacture it might help me along the road with restoration.

Kind Regards
Mitchell
