Hi all,
My Dad has a MF135 Diesel that he has let sit semi covered for the several years (number of years unknown). I am giving consideration to getting this tractor back up and usable for him as he in 79 and not in the best of health. Considering this to help him keep his place up a bit better (I would help him but live 6 hours away plus he won't let me). It will also help him stay a bit more active now that Mom has passed I hope. He is not willing to mess with it himself.
Any suggestions as to what I need to be looking at other than standard fluid changes, drain and replace the old fuel adding conditioner to fuel when refilling as well as a good old fashion lube of all the fittings?
All the tin is pretty straight and overall the old tractor looks to be in pretty good condition. I know it will need new rubber as two of the four are flat and cracked badly.
Any info here would be appreciated. Never been around these units. More familiar with Fords.
