Just bought a MF 135

[Stacks]

I just bought a MF 135 with the perkins 3 cylinder diesel in it. It has a Du-Al front end loader and a Ford backhoe on it. It runs awesome just in rough shape cosmetically. A lot of the tins are missing and it leaks a little Hyd fluid from some of the hoses. The FEL and the backhoe are ran of a separate pump on the front of the tractor. What kind of recommendations for Hyd fluid do yall have since it is a stand alone hyd system.

Can't help with the fluids but CONGRATULATIONS. I grew up on a 135 and 45 yrs later I yearn for another.

First of all, welcome to TBN. Sounds like you have a real workhorse. I'd love to have a front end loader on mine, and with that backhoe you have it all. If your thinking of sprucing it up may require removing both ends. Post some pictures. -robert

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your tractor. The Massey 135 are classic tractors.

You can take a look at this thread for the hydraulic info... http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/.../84414-massey-135-hydraulic-fluid-refill.html

I read that thread before I registered for the web site. I have a separate hyd system aside from the PTO/tranny system. The pump is off the front of the engine. I was thinking I could use the cheaper Napa HO fluid for that hyd system since it does not run through the tranny. I am still going to have to buy some UTF for the tranny also since it is barely on the stick. I will post pics in a bit.

I was also wondering where a good place is to buy all the stuff I need for the 3 point. It is missing all the arms and linkage.

That is a nice tractor. A few rattle cans of paint, and it will look new. You can do so much with a bit of tlc, and it dosen't have to break the bank. Keep us updated on how it comes out! They also have just about every part that you need on eBay, like the lift arms: Hope this helps a bit!
