Just a question, I posted a message asking advice on a MF 135 dry disk brakes work, now I have a question on the Exhaust. This is a 1973 tractor, diesel engine, the exhaust goes striaght up. I can't for the life of me see how it doesn't fill with water when out side for a long time. It must have been "housed" all it's life. Anyway, my question is some have the exhaust going down and under the left hand foot rest, others go out the top. I don't know if this has been changed or not. Anyone have any ideas? I prefer the exhaust running under the foot rest and out the back rather than straight up in the air. Also, has anyone changed dry brakes disks on these. They are located where the axle housing meets the Third member.(or center of the tractor)

Sounds to me that you may have an orchard 135. I own a MF 135 Orchard and also a MF 245 Orchard. If your exhaust manifold outlet is to the rear of the engine it was once equipped with a horizontal exhaust system. A regular 135 exhaust pipe will work but if your tractor is an orchard model you will have to use a smaller diameter muffler because the tractor is low profile. If your exhaust exits to the front of the engine you will have to switch the exhaust manifold for a rear exit manifold in order to install a horizontal exhaust system. I have been working a 135 orchard tractor that had been parked for over 15 years. It had no brakes until I ran the tractor with the brakes applied to break the glaze that had formed on the brake disc. I also clean the drain opening for the disc brake. This opening is located at the bottom of the differential carrier housings (both sides). This allows oil to drain if there is a seal failure. If there is a seal failure and the opens are stopped with dirt there will be no brakes. If you clean the openings and find some oil leakage, let the oil drain and run the tractor with the brakes applied to burn the oil from the disc. This may take some time but is worth the effort. You may have to tighen the brake adjustment on the differential housing to increase the brakes. I am in the process of converting the dry brakes on the 135 to wet brakes. The 245 MF has wet disc brakes and there is a world of difference. Good luck! Ralph
