MF 135 Hydraulics Overhaul Missing Dashpot Plunger

[silverbones21]

There is lots of knowledgeable guys on here and I am sure you will get advice on any problems you may run into. In my case the lift arms where not lifting all the way up and were jerky. It is a pain when you have more than one problem but you have to work your way through them. I have been checking mine with the side cover off and running the tractor. That's how I new the diaphragm was leaking out a weep hole. A pressure check is important as well.

Hi Ralph from a new member,,, really interested to read your thread-from a while ago- regarding mf 135 control diaphragm housing, you had pin hole leaks, this is exactly the problem i have with my 135, it wont lift drum mower, i can see the oil leaking from the diaphragm cover when load is applied, did you manage to replace the housing just from the open inspection cover? many thanks and thanks for posting your comments......james
