Oil & Fuel 1972 Massey Ferguson 135 - Location of Hydraulic Filter(s)

rlsmith868 · Aug 13, 2015

Can anybody tell me where the hydraulic filter(s) is located and if so how do you get to them? This is for a 1972 MF 135 gas burner w/ Perkins 3 cylinder engine and hydraulic fluid controls the transmission, PTO and hydraulic system.
Or where I can get a manual for it ASAP?

It is located inside the diffhousing . Two methods to get to it .1. If there is a bowlplate under your diffhousing(mounted with 3 bolts) then drain oil and remove that . If not ....2. You will have to remove the topcover to get to that filter .

Thanks, guess I will be pulling topcover then... Any idea where I could get some good manuals?

I just bought a '72 135 diesel.

Here's a link to the pathetic I&T manual. I ordered a printout of the factory manual from a guy on eBay, but the printout he sent had print defects (like from a bad toner cartridge in his printer) and he said mail it back and he'll refund my money. Grrr. I wanted him to send me a better copy, maybe he can't make one. Next I will try a place in Australia that has the factory manual as a PDF, they mail a CDROM. Be careful buying "factory" manuals online, many sources are selling that same I&T manual as "factory".

There's also a collection of MF 35/135 information that used to be sold by a guy called Big Dean (sold on a CD-ROM), who passed away several years ago. Now I've found some of those files (maybe all, IDK) downloadable online. They are very helpful, as Dean knew a LOT about these machines. Feel free to PM me if you're interested in the files, they were really big, but I converted them from .BMP files to .JPG files, and are now 1/10th the size.
