I have a MF that has been painted to look like a 135 but it came from the factory all yellow. The only MF I can find listed with a gas 3cyl Perkins engine is the MF 20 Industrial. This tractor has a non-adjustable front axel. What do you think? Norm
 
Sounds about right. My turf 20 with gas 3 has the adjustable axle. I guess all 135 parts fit. That's the important thing.
 
Tony I think the gearing in the transmission is different. I had a Turf 1973 and I put ag tires on it. Never did find out how fast it would go but it was a lot faster than my 135.
 
I heard that before too. Don't seem to be any faster in any gear than my others with the same back half. Actually, it and the 2135 seem to crawl even slower than the older 35's, 40 and 50. But both of these newer models have 24" rears. So I dunno...
 
Well the one I had came with the 16.1 x 18.4 turf tires on it from the State of Maine who bought it new like that. It would move right along with those tires. It was used to mow the shoulders of I95 with a Mott flail mower. It had to be in the transmission as I checked the ring gear and pinion and they were the same as the 135. Possibly the state ordered it with high gearing. They had a bunch of them.
 
Most likely a standard MF20. The turf specials were low center of gravity with an adjustable axle for work on hills. They also had a faster transport speed. The standard MF20 didn't have these features. The 20 could have a manual shuttle transmission though. Look at pictures on the net. Does it say the model on the serial number tag?
 
Sounds right...My 20ind has the ag3-152 Perkins with a solid (nonadjustable) front axle. Serial number shows it to be a 1972. Neighbor has a 135 of similar vintage with the adjustable axle. Both are equipped with MF32 loaders and other than the paint color they could be twins!
