MF135 6 Speed Restoration #47 Stripping the Lift Cover 

Thanks 👍 glad you enjoy them.

Thanks Charles.

Yes the stands work really well and take the hard work out of it. I have adapter brackets made for all sorts of things now.

Me too, lol.

Thanks John.

Thankyou

Not too far away if I stop buying John Deere tractors to repair, lol.

You bet

G Day Bill, There is a free workshop manual download on my web site here that might help. queenslandtractorspares.com.au/technical/

@@BundyBearsShed Thanks for that link Lance, that will come in useful. I just finished watching the video on the front wheel bearings. When I came to do them on the 240 I discovered the seal housings had disappeared...probably due to being immersed in cowshit for years as a scraper tractor. Being Scottish, rather the buying new parts, I machined up some new housings and welded them in place and it did the job perfectly. I get a good feeling fixing up rather than buying new when I can, but am happy to spend cash where its needed. When It comes to doing more to it mechanically the manuals will be more than useful. It actually doesn't need much and managed to start first kick at -5DecC without heat, so the engine is sound. Keep them coming

Looks like a bag of worms eh? lol.

G Day David, Yours will be very similar apart from the pressure control items in this one.

You are welcome.

Ok there seems to be a lot of differences with these Fergy tractors.

They can be tight alright, I have had to battle some as well.

Thanks Bill.

Pull the rh side cover off and see if the control valve is moving.

it is only on the side and no chance of it breaking as it is only reasonably light and the cast is quite thick. Thicker than most engine blocks weighing a lot more so Im sure it will be fine.

Can be very fiddly.

You can expect a few fumes and as engine wear gets worse it will get worse as well. Try an oil change and try and work it hard in case it is glazing uo a little.

check the o rings on the stand pipe, easy to do and cheap to fix.

Bundy Bears Shed thank you for the reply! The top of pipe stand correct? If no O-ring that would indicate fluid is bypassing pump when under pressure instead of being sealed with O-ring?

I did not do that as I had one from another tractor to use.

@@BundyBearsShed Thanks for the reply. But do you have a manual that explains their adjustment? I found something on the internet but it is not helpful. I found a video but it is in Serbian or Bulgarian and I do not understand exactly how this adjustment is made. if you have and can send me on sorcadanut@gmail.com. Thank you again

@@ph13dll there is a free manual download on the technical pages of my web site www.queenslandtractorspares.com.au

Yes I believe so.

@@BundyBearsShed , thank you sir! I hope there aren’t any adjustments I can screw up in the process! Your videos are great and helped me tremendously with my 230!

I dont do them often and I need to look up the manual, there is a free one on my web site.

Yes basically the same except for the pressure control items. The 35 will be a bit simpler.

G Day Chris, The holes are there but normally there is nothing in them, they are to aid assembly like you mentioned.

@@BundyBearsShed I've been fiddling with this for a couple days now because I couldn't find a picture clearly showing it. You have made my tomorrow much easier. You are fantastic. Can't wait to see how you adjust the position linkage. Thank you so very much!

@@BundyBearsShed We'll Mr Lance, that was exactly my problem. Took cover back off, pulled those cotter pins out and sat her back down. Bam! It now works, both draft and position controls. You are a wizard!

Bloody beauty, thats what I like to hear, a good home repair job.

Unfortunately not, I had a spare lift cover and it was way cheaper at the time to just drop it on rather than going to the expense of repairing my old one. I may have a 148 one coming up soon though.

@@BundyBearsShed ok, thx anyway! The whole series is great!

No I fitted a used one I had as it was cheaper at the time.

@@BundyBearsShed ok thank you

We never assembled one of these as I had a good used one on another tractor that I just sat on the tactor, it was way cheaper to go that way at the time.

G Day Charles, Yes it has not had much care, hopefully it will be a nice tractor when finished.

Hey.
