I've got a '67 135 with Cont. engine....and yes, I changed out the water pump....It is the same amount of work/disassembly of the tractor no matter which..so just do the pump/pulley together....you will note that the pulley (as well as I remember) is pressed on...so get it all together at the...

Well, lets just agree to disagree, I actually did work in a rock quarry, and do know what mining equip really is...to me, 1/2" is HD, not mining standards.

No matter which you pick, if the "side Plates" aren't 1/2" thick, it ain't heavy duty...Mines 84" wide with 1/2 inch side plates, has Cat. 1 and 2 hitches. Couldn't ask for a better unit....BobG in VA

I'm with you...my "newest" tractor is a 2002 Mahindra 6000 (4wd/front loader/backhoe). Pretty much no electronics, just guts. My "daily driver" is a 1967 Ferguson 135 with the Continental Z145 gas engine. That thing starts on the first crank every time...I bought it about 13 or so years ago...it...

That's what I thought...I've got a Mule Pro FX...good running engine...

What engine does the 835 have in it???

Hey, any of you folks out there with a Mule Pro FX eps (with the 815cc 3 cyl eng.) figured out how to get to the oil filter? I'm guessing some covers have to be taken off, but thought I'd ask....thanks BobG in VA

I've got a '57 Farmall 230 with a bent push rod...anyone know where to find replacements/?? thanx... shrps74

I've got a '57 Farmall 230...it has set for a number of months in my barn...I finally started it a couple of days ago...had a miss in one cyl...after checking everything out, I surmised that I had a stuck valve...pulled everything off and sure enough...it was...a bunch of PB Blaster and an amber...

This sounds crazy even to me...I've had this 6000 since new in early 2003....as you sit in the seat on the left side down and back from the "power beyond" lever is a second lever that goes into the trans/differential...To my knowledge, I've never used that lever at all...I've looked it up in the...

Hey folks...always watch this forum, don't usually post here...however, I did something today that merits a post...and possibly some help..I've got a CS-6700 Echo (todays CS-680). I bought it new 30 years ago and it still runs as strong today as it did when it was new...I did a tad of tuning...

I took this about 4 or so years ago...its a 135 with the 4 cyl Cont....its my "daily driver". Oh, and the '79 F350 with the 7.3 diesel...lets just say, I really like the Massey, but I love the truck...BobG in VA

Well,,, couple of things...for the first time that I can remember, here in central VA the temps from last Friday till today have not seen a minute over the freezing mark...further, on Sunday and Monday mornings, it was -1 degrees..(I keep the 135 Massey in the "basement" garage for pulling the...

My '02 6000 is acting like the starter is getting "weak"..ie. won't turn the engine over fast enough (when cold start) to fire it up..the battery is new and the alternator is putting out 14 volts. Once its started, it will restart..but has anyone had a starter refreshed at an auto electric...

I've got a '74 Farmall 140 with the key start...well, the key broke off in the switch...I have hotwired it from the 12v battery to the coil and jumped it with a screwdriver (pos. to the solinoid on the solinoid)..starts and runs fine that way, but....does anyone know if the switches are still...
