A little over a year ago I purchased my MF 135 with Perkins diesel engine. The fenders and grill were pretty beat up and it smoked a little. otherwise it was fairly decent. It is a working tractor and we put over 100 hours on it in the first year, half of that during haying season.
Since purchase we have put in new sleeves, pistons and rings and lapped the valves. The grill and fenders have been cleaned up and painted.
I have added an auxillary hydraulic valve to power accessories.
Added a light bar (not a ROPS) to hold tail lights, a work light and flashing beacon, as well as headlights and front park lights (including four-way flashers.
Accessories include a post pounder, D100 backhoe, crane attachment, pallet forks attachment and the two blades. I also have a small towable log arch for moving logs.
I have to thanks the members of this form for their help, advice and encouragement, and my friend and Master Mechanic Mark McMillan at Meadow Springs Guest Ranch for his work on my engine etc,
