I have a 1965 Massey Ferguson 135 with the Continental 4cyl gas engine. It is pretty much in original configuration and is in good shape. I use it quite often throughout the year. But, I am thinking about selling it to upgrade to a newer tractor. How do I find out what a fair market price is for...

I have a 1965 Massey 135 that runs real well and I use quite often. It is pretty much all original as tractors go and it does what I need it to around the farm. However, it is older and I want to move from a gas engine to diesel. I know of a nice Ford 2810 that is for sale for a good price with...

I have a 1965 MF 135 with the Continental Z145 engine. It has been giving me fits trying to figure out why it runs well for about hour then starts missing so badly I have to shut it down. It still has all the original equipment on it (Generator, original gauges, etc.). I have even moved to...

I rebuilt the carb on my 135 Z145. The rebuild went great and the tractor runs a lot better. But it idles real high and the idle adjustment screw doesn't change it. I've checked the linkage and it seems to be ok. Is there something in the rebuild that I may have done wrong? It cranks right up...

I have a 1965 MF135 with a Z145 engine. Today was the first time I used the tractor with an implement. I was using a scrape blade that weighs about 500lbs. The hydraulics worked really well smooth and no problem lifting the blade. But as I was using the tractor I noticed a knocking sound under...

I have a 1965 MF 135 with a Z145 Continental gas engine. I am in the process of tuning it up and have run into a problem. I can't find the timing mark. On the block there are marks labeled TDC and I think I can read IGN on the other one. But I can't find any timing reference mark on the...

My 135 has a continental Z145 engine in it. It runs rough and I am going to tune it up. I don't have manuals yet and want to check the carb adjustments. Anything I should be aware of when adjusting the carb. I am familiar with adjusting auto carbs but this is my first tractor. I'm thinking they...

I need to give my 1965 MF135 a tune up. It has a Continental z145 4cyl. Where can I find good quality parts? Can I just go to NAPA? Are there any part number issues I need to know about? Also, I was told it would be better to use diesel grade oil. Where can I get this type of oil? I assume...

I'm new here and to tractors as a whole. I have a lot of auto experience so mechanical things come fairly easy if I understand how it works. That's my problem with MF transmissions. I am seriously looking at buying a MF 165 with multipower but I do not know what to look for in proper tranny...

As I have said in another post I am shopping for my first tractor. I really like MF's. I've been looking and learning about MF 135's and MF 35's because that is what I saw for sale most. I found a MF165 in my local area (yeah, no driving) but I haven't seen or heard much about them. Are they...
