To everyone on here that has posted about helping us keep old tractors running especially bleeding a diesel fuel system I owe all of you a great big thanks.
Now some history for you. As some of you will recall a few months back I brought my Dad's on MF 135 home (Dad had passed). I was going to tackle getting it back up into a reasonable usable condition.
PTFarmer told me about changing the fuel filter assemblies to spin on units as the originals were leaking. Well we found the leak and in the process found that one of the original filter housing was broken off where is bolts on. This forced the change out.
After the change out including the rubber washers we were having issues getting the system bled out to allow the tractor to run. The I&T Shop manuals that I found at my Dad's were not real clear (could have been my understanding) as to how to bleed the systems.
Where did I turn to? YT of course and after some searches and reading past posts and a good link to a youtube video we were able to get the old gal running again in about an hour.
See the attached youtube link with it running. This was after a bit of a wash to get some of the gunk off.
Thanks again everyone! The amount of knowledge here and the willingness to share it is amazing.
