Hi Dave love your videos class job on the 135 by both of you 👍

[@MasseyDave]

Thanks 👍

[@eamondempsey3018]

135 looking sweet 🤌. Thise aftermarket parts are a pain. Especially when trying to work with the original cab, aftermarket wings from one company and aftermarket canvas from another 🤯

[@MasseyDave]

👍👍 yea tell me🤦‍♂️😂👍

[@michaelsmyth8125]

That’s a lovely yoke folks.

[@MasseyDave]

👍👍

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Great job Dave you guys have the 135 looking like new. After market stuff is a pain in the you know what. Never seems to fit right in my experience. Great video 👍

[@MasseyDave]

Cheers Cathal 👍

[@johnlangan709]

[@MasseyDave]

Hi Dave, I'm back with you. Thanks for your kind words, the Op went well and I'm back home with the family. What a treat hearing the old girl fire up. Took me back to some lovely memories. Cheers, Poth.

[@MasseyDave]

Well done 👍👍 speedy recovery, Thanks 🙏

[@johnlydon533]

Great video Dave. 135 looks great !!! Enjoyed watching. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@MasseyDave]

Cheers

[@declanconway2903]

Hearing that 135 start up brings back memories. Great video again.

[@MasseyDave]

Cheers 👍

[@thewrenchreviews9986]

Nothing more satisfying, than twisting the key and having it fire right up! Well done!

[@MasseyDave]

Cheers

Hayes is clearly babysitting again! Good to see Andrew is keeping you right so my gob is shut. Despite the spurious parts issues, 135 is looking almost as good as the apprentice. Keep up the good work. 😂😂😂😂😮😮😮😮

[@Gearoid35]

Excellent work, that 135 is looking great.

[@MasseyDave]

Cheers

[@bobcrawford2105]

Never mistake a 135 starting up sound to itself. Hope you can get the side panels sorted

[@MasseyDave]

👍👍 we will sort it 👍

[@andrewplumb6189]

Yes that little glass on the rh lower panel is for the trip handle of a massey 40 loader to come through. The weather cap on the exhaust spoils it IMHO. They never had one originally. Still a tidy job👍

[@MasseyDave]

👍 weather cap was on it when it came in so it goes back on 👍

[@russelljohnson4847]

Always come in handy them tyre tread cutters 👌👍

[@rogerquenault7207]

The old 135 is starting to look like a new 135 and these after market parts are not great, they don’t fit correctly and they are very cheaply made so always better to do up and old part sooner than fit a new after market part. Great video as always.

[@MasseyDave]

Yea , agree !! But customer supplied them , old ones were fair rotted out ! Cheers

[@ollien9916]

Hi there Dave. Check this before ypu act, but I think that knock-out piece of glass should be over beside the airfilter rather than the handbrake side. I spent lots of hours on one the very same and my uncle still runs his ow. flexicab 135

[@MasseyDave]

Yea I know ! ,,, and I’ve put it the wrong side ! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ they were a pain fit ! So they will be staying put !

[@ollien9916]

😂😂 They will do the same job regardless which side they're on

[@jamiestanyard1588]

Would a gentle application of a heat gun on the side panel help it to stretch a little perhaps?.

[@philipoconnor2236]

Great job Massey Dave & apprentice 😍 They were the nicest cabbed 135s in my opinion and you are making a great example of it, fair play! 👍 Re the side canvas over mudguard Dave... have you the front of it threaded through a separate piece of tubing at the back of the one where the door latches?

[@MasseyDave]

Thanks , yea there is a tube through that locates on a top n bottom pins

[@philipoconnor2236]

@@MasseyDave 👍👍 Thanks Dave. Is there a "pocket" in the canvas at the back where the flat tab on the back light tube fits? Always wondered what that tab was about?? Thought it might be where rear curtain hooked

[@MasseyDave]

@@philipoconnor2236 yea there is , these are reproduction canvases so all a challenge to make fit

[@Mattlynch463]

Hi Dave 135 is a lovely tractor I am currently restoring a mf 35 and am just wondering where you got the white exhaust, or what paint you used thanks

[@MasseyDave]

👍 local motor factors

[@78mikehayes]

First

[@MasseyDave]

The boy is back 👍👍

[@ethanvoaden165]

Where did you get these canvas parts as I have a flexi cab 165 that I might want doing up in the future

[@MasseyDave]

Hi , thanks for watching 👍👍 cabparts interiors in wales

[@user-qr7wq2yi5d]

Hi Dave can you supply these bars which go through the canvas cabs and rear window panels For an MF 165,

[@MasseyDave]

Umm , not sumthin I’d have , possibly could make 🤔 but don’t know if dimensions are same as this 135 cab

[@user-qr7wq2yi5d]

@@MasseyDave thanks, i will look at the measurements on one which exists, I work abroad so when I back on leave i will check

[@hilltopvintage6227]

Hi where did you get the new rubbers for the glass on the flexi cab? 😊

[@MasseyDave]

I have a supplier I use , they were a close match but I had to trim in places to make fit 🤦‍♂️

[@hilltopvintage6227]

I need new rubber for RH door of my 135. I think got the same new side windows as u for my totally original 135. They r a real bad fit, same prob as u have plus bottom next door 2 much cut out of them. Very expensive for what they r! Plan to get a new set made locally.

[@MasseyDave]

@hilltopvintage6227 I mite have enough rubber left to do one window
