My 1972 Massey Ferguson 135 diesel

[Norwegian]

There are four large bolt holes at the front, on the front axle underneath the front panels. Does any one know what bolts will go there?

On the axle it self ?

The bolt holes are located on the frame in front of and below the axle, not on the axle itself as I wrongly stated.

I couldn't find a better picture but the holes are seen in between the red frame in the front.

I assume the holes are for mounting front weights?

This front weight option is very rare on 135 sold in Norway, mine has power steering and that wasn't common on a 1971 modell, most all where very basic.

That is for the weight bracket. Looks like a bumper

Exactly what I meant

I'm going to make a new arrangement for stiffening the FEL arrangement, by bolting a frame to the front. Therefor I need to know what bokts to put in

I'm 99% sure they're 3/4"UNC thread. I shall check tomorrow and edit this post if that is incorrect.
Each of our tractors had a 3/4" thick plate mounted there with about 1m of heavy railway track bolted across the front of it - I miss having that handy piece of hardware and wish I knew where either of them went, all that's left is only one of the mounts.

Hmm, it says the bolts are 5/8" NC in this thread:
