Comparison mf 35 or 135

[Arc weld]

The 135 will have the improved Ferguson System hydraulics. Basically better control of the 3 point. Manual steering is not hard to steer and only needed if you have a loader and want to use it a lot. Also a lot more reliable. If you can post some pictures and prices of the tractors you're looking at.

The engine tag is missing from my 135. How can you tell which engine it has without the tag?

Thanks!

If it has a tach./oil pressure/ampmeter/gas guage/temp guage, its the Z145...if it doesn't have a tach, its the Z134. BobG in VA

Check the battery tray. The tag for my 1964 MF135 diesel is located on the right side of that tray. YOu have to remove the air filter housing to see it.

Good luck.

I have a MF 135 diesel and have basically rebuilt it over the past 10 years. When I first got the tractor the ring gear bolts came loose and broke the housing. I replaced the housing and bearings, etc.. at the same time. The good thing is you can still get parts for them and there are still lots of them around. They were very popular years ago and have still survived. I have replaced the hydraulic seals and needed to adjust the top link spring but that doesn't cost much. They are a strong little tractor and start good.
