What loader model is this? Will it fit on a 135

An MF20 is an industrial 135 so should fit or fairly easy to adapt. It might have even come off an MF20. It's off an industrial tractor. All the tractors in that size range are very similar. 202, 2135, 20, 135, etc.

That's correct. In fact, look at the pic in this link with the loader attached ... looks very similar.

Just asking, what makes these masseys "industrial" . One for sale around me. I think they want 3000 Canadian for it. I think its early 60s or earlier then that. MF30.

I reckon they were beefed-up with the relevant framing for loaders and back-hoes, and generally more heavily built anyway. as such were intended for earth-moving, military or civil works applications. Whereas the alternative model line-up were "Agricultural" and a bit lighter, but with the facility to add weight if needed. These were also much more readily available with such equipment as PTO and 3PL. They may also be equipped with a smaller and lighter-framed loader, probably with hay forks etc.

Yeah, they look beefy. Fellow would be better off with the industrial version for logging with a tractor. I looked at one picture, it seemed like the rear end was much heavier in appearance. The loaders on those look really strong too.

I see a great example of that here with my 135 & MF40 parked side-by-side. They both have basically the same 3cyl Perkins diesel, same gearboxes too. But the '40 has a rear axle similar to a 65 or 165-188 ag tractor - much heavier, a bit wider, has two pairs of mounts for backhoe/loader frame, and with final drive reduction boxes and inboard multi-disc brakes. Front axle is also stronger box-type with power steering, and all wheels and tyres are larger. I'll try to take a pic, but it's difficult to show the difference.
