MF 135 original wheel centers

[The kid]

I'm surprised that the vendor your dealing with doesn't use the AGCO parts book. The snippet I posted has the part number to the right highlighted in red. AGCO makes that site available to nearly all. Some countries are blocked for some reason. But the site is an enormous help when needing parts. You can lookup the steering column section for your tractor there and see what I was speaking of on the spring. The site may not tell you how to disassemble and reassemble but it will show all the parts by looking at different levels of assembly. The AGCO site has helped me tremendously identifying parts and part numbers. Some parts are not made. Then you set out on a quest contacting several MF bone yards throughout the country. I've located several hens teeth for mine this way. That shaft cover and spring should be able to locate a used one at a salvage yard. I've bought several items from Tractor Parts ASAP which has several salvage yards in the states. Part of the fun in restoring one of these treasures is the hunt for parts. :smile: -kid

Let me know, I have access to some parts that we have sitting in a bin. Our grills have been retrofitted over the years, let me know the part (or send a pic) and I would be glad to look.

Murph if I had it to do over again, i would only use "used" sheet metal parts. Period. Reproductions are nice but I haven't found any that fit right. you have to rebend, drill new holes, anything but direct fit. my nosecone had severe rust through and the front grill was badly patched and damaged. buying a new hood is not always as it seems. there are two types. Perkins and Continental one opens on the left, and one on the right. it makes a difference when buying new replacement parts and side pieces.

Well mine is pretty messed up so i'm looking.

Perkins parts are easier to find. I have a door that's in pretty good shape I'll give you for shipping. When I get a change i'll take some pictures.

Yes I have. The guy sold me a Perkins hood when I was wanting a Continental one.
