MF-135 front weight kit

[flusher]

Anyone have a photo showing how the frame that comes with this kit attaches to the tractor?

Heres a couple of pics showing a homemade one, "courtesy of David jp. South Wales from YT". Factory ones mount in a similar manner to the four mounting holes under front end. JJ.

By frame do you meam the front bumper?
On my 135 there are four bolts on the underside of the front of the tractor that hold the bumper to the bottom of the front.

Don't know. Just saw a paragraph in the MF-135 operation manual describing a front weight kit, but with no photos or drawings.

My guess is that the frame looks something like that thing under the FEL bucket on the front of that 1965 MF-135 in the attached photo.

That little bumper would never hold any weights. The weight mounting frame is heavier and allows for the hanging of suitcase weights. Go to this link 1964 MASSEY-FERGUSON 150 40 HP to 99 HP For Sale at TractorHouse.com, it shows a 150 with the weight mounting frame on the front.

Want a combination of the two? (weight bracket AND bumper?) Here's O.E.M. weight bracket with the commonly available style of grill guard that attaches using existing holes in that weight bar. They're still available through most any good dealer. Weight bracket and bumper combined add approx. 85 lbs. Weight bracket will hold 6 suitcase weights. (Bracket and full rack of weights adds a tad over 600lbs)
