Anyone ever see an MF 145?...It is beside my 135 for comparison....135 engine and early 165 rear axle..........Sam

Dang it Sam, you guys always get the neat stuff overseas before us yanks do in the US! My brother does have a 130 in his barn though, that's rare over here..

Hi Sam,
The 145 is quite unusual certainly in the UK. Production of the 145 code named HX 210 commenced in France at the end of 1964. 17965 tractors were made up to the end of 1972. From the end of 1979 a further 1051 145 Mk 3 tractors were made up to the end of 1982. From the beginning of 1982 a further 1269 were made but these were 'specials' whether vineyard or narrow. No mention is made of a Mk 2 version.
Nice tractor in your photo but I presume that you did not fit the bonnet decals.

Regards
DavidP

I never knew they made such a thing. I doubt they sent many over here.

The North America Agco online parts books doesn't show a 145.

Wasn't the US MF 150 the same idea? 135 engine and 165 rear end?

You are correct David....I would have painted it the correct flint grey metallic too!..........Sam

Nope, 150 still had the shoe brakes like the 135, no planetary ends like the 165..

Have now! LOL

Kind of the other way around, 135 rear, 165 front.

ptfarmer · Jul 6, 2016

My brothers 1965 MF150 has dry disk brakes, and planetaries on the rear axles since it was brand new. It's pretty much a 165 but with the ad3.152 Perkins diesel. You could take the front axle, support, steering, shifter cover, and the grill, hood, and dash from a 165, and put it on a 135.

That's interesting to know. All the 150s I've ever seen had the drum brakes. Checked out the parts site and it shows both drum and disc brake axles on the 150. Learn something new every day!

150's around here are a rare bird, people either have a 35, 135, 50, 65, 165, 175, 180, or bigger.
