I recently purchased an older MF135, Perkins diesel with an 8 forward speed gearbox. I can't find the serial number on the tractor and none of the books (MF-27, Operator's manual, parts list or shop manual)tells me what I have. It's a deluxe model, but as for the year - I have no idea. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks - Jeff

Does your MF135 have a generator or alternator? Does it have the spin-on oil filter or the old style canister type? The first MF135 that I can remember with the 8 speed had the old style canister oil filter and generator was the early 1970's. I looked at a 135 tractor today, it is a 1972, 8 speed, generator and old style oil filter, that the serial numbers began with 9A13_____ ___. On the 1973, 8 speed, alternator and new spin-on oil filter, the serial numbers begins with 9A17----- --->. You are right about the transmisson not listed on some manuals. You will have to look at the transimmion on the MF165, both the same. You can look at the 200 series that started in 1975 or 76, but 3rd and 4rd are located different and gear ratios were changed. The 135 and 165 had a better gear ratio in 3rd and 4th. The 235's and 245's are geared to high in high 3rd and 4th. I might think of some other changes that may give you the exact year your 135 was built. Good luck!!!

I have a MF-135, 4 spd with high and low range. Mine is a 1976. You can go to BIG Deans home page and it has some information on it, if you don't see what you need, send him an email. He retired after many years being a MF machanic. Good guy, lots of information just for the asking.

My serial number plate was hard to find but I found it on the right side of the battery box behind the air cleaner.
