I've got too thick of skin (and head) to get offended that easy. No problem here. You said you have a '75 MF-40. That may be a bit newer than the rules I'm talking about. My MF-2135 is from the mid 60's and is built on the MF-135 AG tractor with a stronger front end to handle constant loader work. If the AG 135 has a single weekness, it's a week front end. Besides that, the industrial has a foot throtle and yellow paint. Same engine, PTO, filters, wheels..... The local dealers would love to sell me "industrial" parts but after you look at 'em with a "who you tryin' ta kid?" expression, they'll tell you there's no difference between these and AG parts except the Part Number and the price. Later years saw an increased use and need for specialized industrial equipment and it became a market large enough to see equipment that had no Ag. equivelent. That was probably about the time the farmer started drifting into the museums of American history. Give a shout to Big Dean. He's got a web page for MF's and lists several Industrials there. What you need to do is find the AG tractor that your industrial is built on (if they did that with your model) and then learn what they did to it to call it industrial. Big Dean was a MF factory rep. If he doesn't know the answer to your Massey Ferguson question, you must have a different tractor. At least your engine is standard. I don't know of any difference between power plants of Ind. vs. Ag.
