massey fergusson 40

do the massey fergusson 135 and the 40 have anything in common? I realize the 40 is an industrial tractor. this one is also a gas model. I know the 135 to be a great tractor so was wandering how the 40 compares.
 
They are pretty much the same, same engines, the 40 has hydrostatic steering instead of the old style steering box the 135 has. The 40 has either a manual shuttle shift with a clutch, or a torque convertor. You can get the same rear axles for the 135 as you can for the 40.
 
PT, I'm getting confused here. My MF30 is twice the size of my 135, both gas Perkins, but one got an extra cylinder, and the gear reduction axles on the 30 are about twice as big around- is a MF40 smaller than a 30? I know mine is like an industrial 165, I figured a 40 was a 175?

The 30 is like a 165, or a 3165 industrial. The model numbers on the MF industrials doesn't work size wise as the model numbers on the farm tractors.
 
Yeeea, I see that now. I won't be so gun shy of ones up for sale on CL anymore. A couple years ago - I can't remember his handle, but's he's up in Alberta, knew from the combo of parts that mine was an MF30, locating engine parts for 3165,165, just didn't pan out. Too bad corporate didn't spend a little more time creating extra model numbers... I remember a while ago someone on here had bought a tractor like mine, but was ordering parts for a Ferguson 30.... apples and oranges huh?
 
MF has a 205 industrial, and they also have a MF 205 compact tractor. Why they couldn't give the 205 compact a different model number is strange.
