That 135 owes you nothing. Earned its keep.

[@ianhaggart1438]

What a gripping episode 👏 😳 😆. The massey ferguson 135... helped make farms all over the world. Great wee tractor to have about. My one just cuts wood and runs a digger not in a great state either came out a chicken shed operation 😑 but it still soldiers on. One day it might get a tidy up. Stay safe Richard 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@paulweston2326]

I notice the tyre fitter didn't mention the good old piece of angle iron when you asked about bead breaking, don't think they are allowed to use it nowadays, but it's still the tool of choice for those of us that fit our own tyres

[@tobyraw227]

Keep those wheels nice Richard , if you wash them every so often they will last a very long time . Crack on !

[@ronanmc2112]

Found this video oddly satisfying! I think I would have found it hard to resist putting a few coats of wheel silver on the new ones. But there is no point as the muck will just eat it away in your yard. 👍

[@peterobey491]

Check the Pressures in the new tyres, most likely been pumped up to about 40psi for fitting and transport. I would have thought about 12psi is plenty for yard work and you'll find thy will grip better and last longer. Crac On 👍

[@Brooke_RS197]

We had tyres fitted to our 165 this year too! Not sure why we didn't do it sooner, the difference in grip is unreal!

[@livingoffgridinscotland]

Stick those wheels on gumtree Don’t listen to anyone saying they’re worthless I sold a set worse than that for £80 to a guy for his boat launching tractor…

[@byamrcn]

Had been wondering about the ticker, was real glad to hear you got some good news! Looking forward to more, hang in there

[@hollandduck79]

Hello from the Netherlands. thanks for the video . Sincerely, Hollandduck

[@laytonphillips6667]

Lovely video Richard, good to see the old girl with some new rubber. We haven't seen the 265 for ages is it okay?

[@christopherwhatcott6235]

What a smashing lad young Harry is ... superman lifting those up 🤣🤣

[@stuartsmith7618]

Proper job!!! The new tyres have come up a treat.good idea about selling the old ones .someone with a sandblasting kit could clean them up and little bit of welding and repaint ,will work well on a classic tractor somewhere crack on mr c

[@minisareus]

Pylon paint the rims

[@stevenbarker855]

You forgot to sniff them Richard 😂

[@antmorgan5255]

Happen to me in the summer got new set of tyres ended up with having to get rims as well .looking good now.

[@Sooty]

I see that tractor has a F registration. My first car was a Triumph Herald F reg . 1968. Took my driving test in it when I was 17yrs and passed .

[@neilmurphy845]

Smart meters actually end up costing more in the long run than a normal meter my brother has one and he hates it but the UK could be cheaper

[@philyew3617]

Great video🙂 I think you got your money's worth out of those tyres and rims Richard. I wonder if the new ones will last as long. Stay safe everyone and Crack On.

[@g0jnh]

How things have changed since I was a tyre fitter for almost 25 years starting with car tyres and making my way up with wagon and eventually the giant earthmover, there was no air fed jacks or bead breakers as this had to be done with a lump hammer and a tyre chisel

[@johnpick6829]

Another ten years left on those tyres Richard

[@paddygoesracing]

Wow looks like a new tractor amazing

[@mattdoe7549]

Smashing job,love the iconic MF135s👍🏻

[@mjallenuk]

I wish I was young enough to see another set of wheels but that's for our kids to enjoy! Crack on

[@johnpick6829]

Buy cheap buy three times

[@jessicalove3154]

Maybe give the rear Fenders a Paint job to stop the rusting and make them last for another 15 years or longer , such a great Tractor 🚜

[@tractorman810]

Un expected surprise but i guess given the environment they ate in it was only time before they gave up, prob is you will now need to do the rest of the tractor , she pretty tidy overall for a scraper rig anyway be a nice project for you and the boys

[@MrDbone75]

A very good Saturday afternoon to you all

[@paulaward8052]

Good video also Richard

[@johnmushko7555]

Do you think fluid in the tires would give you better traction in that application?

[@simonweaver9310]

Hell of a lot of tread 👍

[@busterboy7505]

That always happens to me you buy something, it’s not quite right, and then something better turns up, then it’s do I keep both items or send one back ?. 👍

[@philipcounsell3533]

Great video Richard, you've had more than your money worth out of those rims and tyres. 👌👍👍

[@thefunkyfarmer]

True that!

[@lewisgardner1660]

Those new tyres will save you a fortune, you will get more miles per gallon now now the tires are bigger

[@sockstyson7348]

I'd paint them. I'll bet that green/gray is only a primer spray on.

[@cheekymonkey666]

i bought some old telegraph poles cut a quarter out of them and then bolted them to each corner of our buildings and walls... make them 12 foot tall then you wont miss them...

[@paulaward8052]

G ood man for spending money on the 135

[@olivermarsh5077]

If you are still struggling with grip try putting the new tyres on backwards. Good video thanks

[@markh5433]

That’s what we do, the scraper tractor goes in reverse more than forward😂

[@nigelbiscombe9199]

Farmer 54 can't change a tyre or do a puncture repair? How things have changed.

[@marctunney3743]

12,5 28s off agriline

[@audibell]

Nice tractor

[@b2617]

That was an interesting vid

[@glenkoopman7347]

Now it's probably not really necessary for you but alot of people round here use small old tractor like that to launch boats into the water and often galvanize rims so they don't rust.

[@geraldbeard856]

Theres someone here in south devon who buys old tractors and sells secondhand parts from them ........ i enquired a few years ago about a couple of secondhand 11/28 wheels and he quoted me £30 each just for the wheel centres....... your wheel centres are good its just the rims that are knackered so the wheels should be worth a few pounds

[@sandymcghee3328]

135 it will be a new tractor Richard 👍👍👍👍👍

[@decalshedsignsco6849]

You should have painted inside and out with your Pilon Paint lol

[@Dextamartijn]

Those tires are not bad but it there comes a time to replace them. Agriline is probably the best place for you to get

[@johnoverend1169]

Hope you got them the right way around lol

[@2626stephen]

Someone will refurb the old ones. New one not be clean for long

[@markc6099]

Bit of harry main owna

[@PaG1989]

Talk to farmer Phil he would have contacts for rims , Richard agriline might have the rims

[@gerrymulligan2602]

If fill tubs water push mountain out way

[@neilaaitchison4473]

Hi ritchard could you Have not bought second hand rims maybe would of saved you a bit of money rather than brand new ones .Good video I enjoyed it .

[@ronanwalsh7024]

My tyre fitter would lay into me wasting his time called them out when those rims were clearly junk.

[@whankerakerill6293]

farmer p would like to have Curry dinner with Veronica LoL

[@geraldbeard856]

Good idea to buy the whole package. if you had just bought the rims the nuts and bolts that hold the rims to the wheel centres would have been a bugger to get off cos of the rust. bet the new wheels and tyres ended up costing as much as the whole tractor cost when it was brand new all back in the 60s. hayho..... what they say is a tractor is only as good as the tyres its on

[@themeparkkieran4573]

The rims arnt painted they are just primed ready for painting

[@alexthomas637]

[@Fatboy103.]

[@robinchinery7169]

Nothing like muck to rot out rims

[@DavidJohnson-rj8zu]

It's bad enough retyring a pushbike pinched fingers and bruised fingers

[@richardclay3354]

Pillion paint lol

[@bencarter2334]

Harry lifted the bottom tyre as well.

Poor tyermen work in thes mudd You cud vhash better and scrap on the bak off .😫

[@sir243_simr]

Don't be so stingy looking to sell the tyres, one of the tires is worn out practically

[@attempting2ride525]

Wouldn’t say it’s stingy someone might be able to make use of them somewhere we have got to get out of this throw away mindset in this country/world!

[@sir243_simr]

@@attempting2ride525 all the more reason to give them for free then

[@paulweston2326]

@@attempting2ride525 Couldn't agree more with you, had a few tyres, some with less tread than those, put them on ebay and a bloke travelled 100 miles to collect them, he wanted them to put on tractors that he was exporting

[@paulf2529]

@@paulweston2326 likely get slightly more than scrap value if you've got the time to wait on someone collecting them.

[@paulaward8052]

He can sell one of the wheels

[@paranormalfreak2901]

It’s just an idea but I think you should use the old tires for a tire swing for the kids
