The Massey Ferguson 135 that I had operated for over 4000 hours had the same axle measurements as the FE35 it replaced, both tractors had the standard axles fitted (there are vinyard models with a narrow track / short axle assemblies) ,
some MF135's had slightly wider 11" rims fitted to take 12.4x28 tyres instead of the 10" rims for 11.2/10x28 tyres as fitted to a FE35, therefore some adjustment to the MF135's mudgards may be necessary for the minimum setting using that wheel combination, if the tractor has 14.9x24 tyres you are out of luck!
reading from the "Ferguson 35 tractor instruction book" Publication No 819 046 M1, I can pass on some information for you,
the rear wheel track is adjustable by assembling the disk and rim in different postions. the front wheel track is adjustable in 4" steps from 48" to 80", the 80" position requires the front wheels to be reversed, a caution note on the 78" and 80" settings states 'these track settings should be used only when absolutely necessary, and never with front mounted equipment such as loaders' settings for the wheel track are
48",52",56",60",64",68",72" and 76" measurement of settings is made from the centre of the tyres) Normal Track settings are: Front 48", Rear 52". Overall Width: At normal track 64".
(Tip: also as time seizes the wheel bolts, before reassembling clean the threads with a wire brush and coat the entire bolt with a good quality anti-seize compound.) I hope this info is what you required Cheers from Tasmania, Australia.
