Help identify where my MF 135 was made

How can I tell if my MF 135 was made in the US or UK. It has a serial # of 9A-107567.

Hi,everything that I can see in your phoctorsto points to it being US made. Although of course tractors to US spec could have been made in Banner Lane in Coventry and destined for the US.my opinion is based on the following observations. The rear tyres appear to be bigger than the UK 'standard' 11-28. Power Assisted Variable Track rear wheels are rare on tractors this size here.UK tractors have headlamps in cowls in the grille not side mounted. The 135 medallion is mounted at the front here although the MF strip decal is the correct shape at the front for the medallion to fit over it. The chassis is Flint grey whereas here it would be the darker Stonleigh grey. Handbrakes were common in the Uk but not in the States. The fenders on UK tractors reached down to larger footplates. These are the original 'shell' ones not fitted to the UK 135.
All in all I think that you have a US tractor.
