Massey Ferguson 135

Hello, I just purchased a Massey Ferguson 135 this weekend. Have some questions for you guys. Trying to figure out what year it is. I have the original owners manual and it says on there delivered December 24, 1968. But the serial number is 9A 143190. To me that would make it a 1972. Other question, if you are in front of the tractor looking at it, on the right side kind of behind the exhaust manifold there is a knob in the block you can loosen. What is it, and what does it do? And cant get the lights up on the rear fenders to work. Does anyone know when they are to be on? With the headlights? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
 
Congratulations on the MF 135. I believe the 135's were a 70's tractor. Someone more knowledgeable will be along to let us know for sure. This one is from 1974, just got it last week. You have the gas or diesel?

I think the first year for 135's was 64 but I'm not sure. We have a 1960 35 gas "special" (pan seat, no live pto, no tach, etc...) that my grandfather said he bought in the fall of 1959. We also have a 1966 135 diesel. It is the nicer version with power steering and multi-power. There are some good electrical guys here, but I'm not one. I can't remember where the block drain petcock is, but that might be what you are seeing.
 
It wouldn't happen to be the one from the sale in DeKalb NY? As far as lights go I would start with the ground inside of the buckets.
 
I'm guessing it isn't the original manual or the lower dash was replaced. If it's a 3 cylinder, the casting date is most likely on the bottom of the oil pan. Lights may need a separate ground wire attached. What engine does it have? Not sure what the knob is, maybe a block drain or to shut coolant off to a heater in a cab??? 135's were the best selling tractor in the world in their era. Made in the US from 64-75 and the UK from 65-79. Also made in France from 65 to I think about 83 for vineyard models. Highly sought after tractors.
