How to change a fuel sender unit on an MF 135

[@senankeane]

nice to see you looking after the older tractors rather than getting rid of them and getting new tractors

[@joshoweragriphotography154]

well he cant afford new anything

[@zftransmax1]

those little tractors just make ya smile. .

[@macfarms]

I love the sound of these 135's, brings back a lot of memories. Still one of our more used tractors.

[@daithimacconmara]

Love the videos Richard! Keep up the good work! We've a 135 from 1969 still used for tedding & raking hay to this day. Once looked after they're pretty bulletproof. Also no cab just a roll bar so ideal for those warm Summer days if we ever get some again. Also have the 390T for moving black bags of silage, beast of a machine and taking delivery of a 690 tomorrow for moving bales & feeding. Hopefully it's as reliable as the 135! the cab is bad with rust alright as I've seen in your previous videos but as long as it gets the job done it's A1.

[@thefunkyfarmer]

Thanks David. The 135 is a great little tractor. Rust is always a problem on the 690 model. We would have probably kept our if it hadn't been eaten away with rust so badly

[@daithimacconmara]

690 arrived yesterday and engine seems strong. Was told it was rebuilt 2 years ago has 7500 hours on the clock so should be good for a long time yet. Mechanically sound apart from handbrake not engaging on the teeth so hopefully a small fix. Air blower not working & heater lever stuck in the hot position. Also sunroof needs 2 new gas struts & most importantly a new stereo! :-)

I also have Ferguson from 1969. 😊 I buy that nice tractor before 2 years. I love it... I also use him for making hay. 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/joOnoqRreaiibac Greeting from Croatia...

Nice video...gotta love the sound of a 135

[@martinlongden6887]

Nice to see you keeping it in good condition even if it's a scraper tractor

[@georgegreen623]

love watching the videos with the 135 in you do some more

[@daledenotter6398]

[@danclatworthy2861]

love your videos. want to be a famer when I am older (tractor drive) 135 starts well for age also one day can you do a cold start on some tractors.

[@rogerwilson9361]

RichardHaven't seen one machinery that hadn't had have been adjusted farmers best friend is the hammer lol.

[@fergie35X]

Good job Richard. Sounds like the solenoid on the starter motor may be the next fix !!

[@MrPaul1f]

Spot on although if possible I would get the entire starter reconditioned I had one done a few weeks back for a John Deere 1445 out front mower. £60 it starts like a new machine now.

[@joshoweragriphotography154]

well from hearing her start ken the next new part

[@willfillms]

our fuel guage has never worked from when we bought her back in 72

[@farmer135farm6]

Richard can you do a cold start video on the Massey Ferguson 135

[@thefunkyfarmer]

theres not much to see really

[@daithimacconmara]

We put the small gear lever in L or H then turn key left for 30-60 seconds depending how cold it is to fire up the heater then put the small gear lever into the center position or S then turn the key left again to perform a HS or Heat Start.

[@born2flyau]

Richard, Love the old Massey Ferguson 135's. Hope you took the old float from the original sender out of the tank as it could get jammed on the new sender unit giving you a false reading. I use to always carry an old wooden ruler in the toolbox and dip the tank before going out into the paddock to do any work. NEVER trusted the fuel gauge. Also never open the fuel tap more than a Maximum of two full turns otherwise you are tapping into the reserve supply. Then if you run out of fuel in the paddock all you have to do is open the tap fully to get the reserve fuel enough to get you back to the farm house or shed.

[@thefunkyfarmer]

thanks for the tips

[@willruddle5074]

No problem chap

[@samueldougoud3289]

When you say the fuel tap, is it the tap that you shut down for servicing the fuel filter ?

[@StephenMeyer58]

I hope mine goes as easily. Great video

[@thefunkyfarmer]

Good luck!

[@matthewbrowne3862]

great video Richard

[@rusty8770]

A quick job that didn't have something else go wrong, don't usually see that in farming. Did you need to fix it so the tractor could be road worthy? On one we have here it's never used on the road and we just look into the diesel tank to see how much there is. Same with the petrol tank on the ATV.

[@thefunkyfarmer]

no i just like to keep things up together

[@WishIwasBrit]

Love your vids! Cheers!

[@brentste-croix9721]

I have a 1972 135 uk my grandfather bought new n my dad gave it to tough as hell lol

[@adamturner3518]

I think that would be good for picking up bales with the rear 3 point likuag you could get a male spike of sompthing

[@hamishkay3010]

My one stopped working on my 135 recently

[@gregorypaulwatson1088]

Where did you get the 135 decal disc on the bonnet it’s not an original?

[@thefunkyfarmer]

hand painted by me when the old one faded

[@gregorypaulwatson1088]

thefunkyfarmer thank you Richard from Northern Ireland, enjoy your videos!

[@ajdobbyn4899]

[@ryanwilliams77480]

[@bothwell07]

[@leonhajsok773]

[@joshlivingstone9673]

[@leonhajsok773]

[@whatfarmingisreallylike1055]

[@mrnate4280]

Job well done

[@alanlanghorn9528]

Should of got the old broken piece out the tank or it will jam up the new one and break it of when driving .

[@supersonic1246]

... ok so far , but if it was me , would light into the diesel-tank with LED and try to remove the old swimmer-arm with a flexible grip ... :) friendly grets

[@nirvairsingh1678]

Good

[@Lewis-co7pq]

Can you stop smashing the door latches off

[@crofter3903]

nice 135

[@adamturner3518]

*linkage

[@xeroxene]

Very sad to see that you scrapped the made in England unit with such glee. Once original parts like this are gone, they're gone forever. You might be happy to repair your tractor with Chinese and Indian spares, but please at least offer your original repairable junk parts to a vintage tractor club so they can be repaired and reused for another 50 years.

[@davydacounsellor]

Lol looks the same as an Isuzu rodeo Denver

[@bronsonhopkins9959]

that is an very old tractor

[@willruddle5074]

Personally I will sell that tractor and buy a landini

[@pinguzoe]

that is what make's him diffrent then the rest

[@bmurphy0296]

Their a reliable tractor easy to fix what would the need to get a a different tractor

[@tinagibbs618]
