I’ve learnt loads from watching bundy’s videos, helped me loads as i worked on our T20. Great knowledge and easy to understand. It’s interesting to see an industrial Massey project as I being work on a 50B myself. This does look exactly like a 135

That's a great plan to do a 'getting it working' series rather than a full shiny paint redo. More of us out here want to buy an old tractor to do work projects, shows with fancy paint are fun but there's work to do. I bought a 'parts tractor' and actually got it running until the three point quit, the valve actuator cross-pin under the pump fell out, water in the system when I got it must have corroded the cotter key wire. That's all back together and I'm working on the top link draft spring reassembly (to put a new boot up there!). Looking forward to your latest project. Since you're coming around to spring, maybe you can run this tractor into a series like a couple of big channels "can we get fence row finds working again to farm with?" Lot's of new homesteader viewers out there. Fix, plow, plant corn, cultivate, harvest.

They are very similar indeed, the industrial had a speedometer in some cases and no pressure control in the hydraulics.

Hello Lance, i have just put a new clutch in a Ferguson TEF20, which i am restoring, also had to install new spring which pull the thrust bearing carrier in and out, this is where i have made a mistake and have used springs that are not the correct ones and the tension on them are too strong. I noticed on your T20 video that when you had the stearing box of the tractor you can see the thrust bearing carrier spring. My question is can i replace the wrong spings by taking the steering box of instead of splitting the tractor again, your help on this subject would be gratefuly appreciated.

Yes I think you could, I have not done it myself though.

Hey Lance, I have a 135 with power steering pump fitted but the 2 rams on the front axle have been removed. Is the steering column on a power steering tractor different from one on a normal steering tractor? I'm wondering if mine has had a replacement steering column fitted because it doesn't have the valve fitted to it under the dashboard like yours has. I know where there's a pair of steering rams but I'm wondering if I need to find a power steering column too. Best wishes from England. Peter.
@BundyBearsShed10 ай бұрын
Same steering box but the column needs the valve. you can buy the parts to fit the valve.
@davidlongman234110 ай бұрын
What did the industrial Massey offer that the 135 did not. They seem very similar so why would you have bought the industrial not the agricultural. What job could the industrial have done that the 135 could not. Good video's by the way, looking forward to the fixing.
@BundyBearsShed10 ай бұрын
The industrial didnt have pressure control in the hudraulics but apart from that Im not sure. I wonder if it was a price thing or lack of supply of the 135. Not really sure.
@grantwtk10 ай бұрын
Is there any way to convert it to an up exhaust instead of a down exhaust? I was raking hay with my 135 and hay underneath plugged by the muffler and caught fire. After a mad scramble I extinguished the flames and saved the tractor. But it was a close call.
@BundyBearsShed10 ай бұрын
Yes you just buy the exhaust elbow for the vertical exhaust and purchase a vertical muffler. Not an expensive exersise really.
@jvin24810 ай бұрын
Get a flapper valve for the top of it plus put a can over it as backup. Upward exhausts get rain in them and ruin tractors too!

Lance, are you aware of a source for an aftermarket diesel injector for the early style indirect injected 3.152 Perkins? My local here wants 100.00 u.s. to bench test 1 injector.
@BundyBearsShed10 ай бұрын
For $100 you could buy your own tester. Im not sure about a whole injector but I think nozzles are available.

I used to see those MF20 tractors at road construction sites. They were mostly hooked up to a PTO mechanical broom and most times be surrounded by a cloud of dust. I see from 'Tractor Data' there was an earlier model - MF2135. I have never seen one or photo of one in Aust. Just wondering has anyone seen one here. I see photos of them in the UK & the US.

I have not seen the 2135 over here either, they had a very nice colour scheme not just the black and yellow of the MF20.
