MF 135 ailments

摘要

When a friend bought an early Massey Ferguson 135 with known issues regarding the engine, Andrew Hall was consulted to assist with the rebuild. My time recently seems'to have been kept busy with Massey Ferguson tractors, probably due to their popularity in our area. Last spring, an agricultural engineer friend showed me an MF 135 that he wished to sell on behalf of a bereaved owner. The tractor was an early 1965 model complete with a front loader and was, generally, in tidy order. The engine, however, was known to be past its first flush of youth, as it breathed heavily and had an appetite for oil, together with poor cold starting.
