My father left me his 135 a few yrs back. I remember the day he bought it brand new! Very strong to this day. I garden and a food plot every now and then. It is a gas burner perkins motor. Leaks a little oil but I just keep it checked and it always fires right up. Wonderful memories everytime I crank it up!

Isnt that the gas version?......i believe if you will step up to a 165 you get desiel and this is the better value for your money. Gas just dont perform as well as desiel i have always been told.

The 135 was sold with both gas and diesel engines. Can not beat the perkins engine, got the one my grandad bought brand new, liked it so much I bought one just like it last year. They are good little tractors, we use both of ours daily along with our Massey 255.

I don't know the type motor other than diesel.

I've got a copy of the original owner's manual sitting on my desk. Very cool little tractor. Plan on using it mostly for mowing plots and box-blading roads. We might even see if it will pull a 3 or 5-tine spring-loaded chisel.

They were good little square tractors. As mentioned, 35 hp and had the perkins diesel which was very reliable

I had a 150 gas, it was a good tractor. I sold it after I bought my kubota.

Have a 47 horse Perkins diesel that puts 47 HP out the PTO. Prefer it to my larger tractors for what it is, but it doesn't have AC or a cab lol. Great tractors.

Grew up on 165, 175 and 1100 and have a 451 massey now. All perkins diesel. Best all around high torque low RPM diesel ever built. All older massey diesels were paired with solid transmissions and very heavy rear ends. IMHO the only place they come up short is the braking system.

@BSK you can turn the wheels around effectively moving the tires out and give that tractor a wider footprint if on steep ground.
My fil has a farm beside the boils wma in Jackson county and has a tractor with the wheels turned and doubles so his is almost 10 ft wide at the rear.

I have the previous version…..MF 35. 3 cylinder Perkins diesel. I bought it 3 years ago from a mechanic friend who had just rebuilt it. Bulletproof!

Raised from the dead! BSK has likely wore this tractor out and replaced it in the 11 years this thread has been in purgatory!
