Is this a scam? tractor check

Bob I really want a Perkins diesel, power steering, 6+2 trans, 2 stage 3 point.

Not sure if central KY too far but here are a couple of Perkins 135's:

Massey Ferguson 135 Diesel -- Power Steering

135 Massey Ferguson

Prices seem a little high to me but I am not an expert. They look like they are in real good condition and maybe if hours are low enough they are worth it. I will tell you they have been listed multiple times on CL. Not sure why. May be just not willing to deal any.

Both of those look good to me. I like that old iron! What's the interest in the 135 specifically Murph?

I wanted to make sure you weren't getting rid of that DK40 already, was going to tell you that you could send it north! Been cleaning out the barn at the farm, so I got plenty of room for it!

As far as the welding, that's a long story for another time.

Need someone in Tennesse to checkout this Tractor sales place. I am told that the 135 was last produced in 1975 and this one is listed as a 1991 with 46 hours for 5500.00. Please help so I don't go down there for nuting. http://www.tractorhouse.com/listingsdetail/detail.aspx?OHID=7065805&

Just by the picture Murf, it has all new sheet metal. New, hood, sides, front nose, fenders. Looks to have a bad PTO leak. The angle shows it has new gauges which explains the low hours. New Proofmeter/tachometer. 46 hours since all the work done maybe. Price is way out of the park. $3200 maybe.. if.. if the engine checked out. BTW the sheetmetal looks to be poorly fitted.

MasseyVW is correct about the age judging from the vertical mounted air filter.

They used that same air filter setup on both Perkins and Continentals.

The engineers where idiots when designing it. What the problem with that air filter is when you remove a heavily soiled filter, dirt would fall down into the chamber and would be sucked into the carb the next time it was started. Thus redesigning it and mounting it horizontally. Just a bit of history there. The birth year is anywhere from 1964 -67 Too many red flags, and too little info. My advice is to pass. -robert :thumbdown:

Jon that 135 in Kentucky is another window dressing job. New metal on it all around, poorly fitted. Price is way out of the park. Way out.:thumbdown:

Not too many diesel Perkins in this area. Plenty of Perkins and Continental gas 135's. Keep shaking those bushes. One will turn up to your liking. -robert
