I need some help with issues on my 135 massey ferguson. According to the serial number it is a 1970 model. I can't find the serial no. for the engine. The space my owners manual shows it to be is blank on my tractor. I have scraped it and nothing is showing. On to the issues. Someone that had it before me put a 6 cylinder cap on it and plugged 3 of the holes with silicon. It ran okay for about 3 years but has now gotten hard to start. Since I would like to clean up the mess with the distributor anyway I thought I would begin with that and move on to the carburetor later if this doesn't help. Problem is I don't know which cap to buy. It is of the screw on variety but have no idea what brand. I also want to get new plugs but don't know which ones to buy, the long or short. I went to take one out the other day and couldn't get my socket in to take one out---plus it was about 15 degrees so I so I didn't try to hard. I would also like to put in new rotor, points and condenser although I am not sure I could set the gap on the points correctly which leads to my next question. Has anyone done a conversion to electronic ignition with one of the kits available? If so what are opinions on that. I am not interested in keeping everything original, just keeping it running. I do plan to get new wires to go with everything else. I would like for those to be made to fit not generics that you cut and fit. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated!! This is an awesome forum for getting information for those of us that don't have the extensive knowledge that others on here have. I appreciate the fact that they are so willing to give of their time and knowledge.Thank you,Terry
