Massey Ferguson 135 with Continental Engine - Manuals

[CItySquirrel]

Hello, I have been working on my grandpa's 1965 Massey Ferguson 135 with the four cylinder Continental Z-145 engine. I was wondering if anyone has a digital copy of the operators manual and/or service manual that they would share? I have found manuals for the later models with the Perkins engines, but not much out there for the earlier models. Thanks

You're better off just buying the factory service manual. You'll thank yourself later, it's money well invested.

I just ordered a complete set from Agco for my 2135.

One of the best decisions I've made for my MF35 Utility. Nothing beats having a hardcopy on hand for working on the machine. It eliminates the guesswork.

It's hard to go and spend 50 to 75 bucks on a book but you can't really do without it. I understand the spending money. You will learn things that may have been left unattended if not read and will end up causing problems costing a lot more than the cost of the book.
Good preventative maintenance will keep repairs down. The manual has a page or several pages dedicated to regular maintenance..
The c.d.'s cost less but aren't user friendly.

I eventually plan on (for my own use) scanning every page of my factory service manual using the text recognition feature of the scanner at work. That way I can make a searchable .PDF which will make finding information easier if I can't find it otherwise. That hasn't been the case yet, but it's a neat feature.

Lots of places to buy I & T's MF-27 manual.

Some dealers have the series on a rack. It's pretty thorough material if you've ever worked from one.

Thanks everyone, I agree that the factory manuals are the best. I always like factory manuals when possible. I was hoping that maybe someone had a digital copy and would be nice enough to share. Plus I always like digital backups of my manuals.

I use an app on my phone called TurboScan for scanning. If I purchase the manuals I will scan them first. Maybe I can help someone in the future if they need a copy.
