The engine in a MF 135,is only a smallish engine and can be man handled without hoists, although not all together a light weight. Firstly though, these engines were built to last, and I would advise, `don`t fix it unless it's broken' Also back in the 1960s when these tractors first come out, `and I know I'm going to take some contradiction here`, but some farmers around here had a run of early MF 135s and MF 165s break in half at the clutch housing. My understanding was that this problem was rectified. As for myself, if I had one, I wouldn't put a big bucket on the FEL. Otherwise a good work horse.
