but I have to ask them, since documentation is difficult to come by, where I am. I've searched this site fairly thoroughly, as well. Surrendered the Ford 8n, this past week, and got a MF 135 in spectacularly good shape, except for the tires. It's a 1969 model, one owner, always shedded, not used much save for pulling an orchard sprayer. In fact, the three point and lift have been very little used since the tractor was dedicated to pulling a sprayer. 3600 original hours. Power steering, high low button on the dash. No owners manual. Differential lock. No auxiliary hydraulic pump in front of the seat. No significant leaks, noticeable. No welds, etc. Needs a new "nose"--the plastic cover above the radiator/grill. Will be delivered this weekend.
Paid $2400.00. Actually, funny conversation over price.
Me: How much would you like?
Seller: I want 2200 for it.
Me: No way. That's not fair. Seller: How much then?
Me: 2600 and not one penny less.
Seller: No way. That's not fair.
Me: How much then? Seller: I said, 2200.
Me: I said, that's not fair. Either 2600 or nothing.
Seller: I won't sell it for that.
Me: Okay, 2500 Seller: No way, 2300.
Me: 2450.
Seller: 2350
Me: 2400. Seller: deal. Questions:
1. How does the hi low on the dash work? Is it a kind of a "two way torque amplifier"?
2. What does the midway "setting" on the clutch do? How does it work?
3. Are the hydraulics negative pressure? In other words, my 8n was gravity down only. 4. I would like to use a tiller for it. Recommendations for tilling more than an acre? 5. Good parts site in the West? Thanks for tolerating "beginner" questions. Monomechanical
