Maybe you should try "painting it green". Just kidding. I myself have a 135 Diesel, and love it.

Just a twist on the power screw on that simms fuel pump and you"ll be passing those guys by.....they will be green with envy!!!!! Thats what we did to our 1155..... .now she pulls like hell.....smokes black smoke like crazy and shoots a flame out the exhaust about 6" when pulling hard at night!!!!! Won"t bogg the engine down....just shoots more black smoke out the exhaust!!!! I would guess it probably has about 170 to 180 hp now..... .will pull a 30ft field cultivator at 6.5mph..... ..if you crank the juice to it you better have GOOD RADIAL TIRES on it cause you will need them!!!! Trust me!!! Good luck.
