MF135 What Year ?

I have a MF135 Deluxe built in the UK. It has a 3 cylinder Perkins. It also has a 4 speed hi/lo gearbox although the decal on the dash shows the shift pattern for a 3 speed. I think the serial number is 156,046. (I'm having a bit of trouble reading my writing and the tractor is not here to check - it may be 56,046)

Can anyone provide the range of 135 serial numbers built over the years?

Thanks Adrian. I had a chance to check the serial number and it is 156,046 which makes it a 1970 model.

I'm assuming that you have a standard (non-adjustable) rear wheel on your tractor. The wheel end of the axel is tapered slightly and the big nut holds it on (although the taper really does most of the holding). The keyway of course keeps things together during rotation. You need a heavy duty wheel puller. It is anchored to the wheel either in the threaded holes in the cast iron hub or is bolted through the wheel weight holes (maybe if they're opposite each other). Either way should work. Once you tighten the inner push bolt on the puller, the wheel might come off. If not, tap the hub on the inside near the axel with a hammer. You might also apply some heat but make sure you don't ruin your axel seal, however you might be replacing it later anyways (maybe that's why you're removing the wheel, I don't know). When replacing the wheel hub, line up the keyway slots and push the hub on as far as it will go, then drive in the steel key into the slot (1/2 wheel and 1/2 axel). Drive the key in until it is flush with the outer end of the axel. Put on the bug axel nut then tighten it as far as you can preferably with a 6 point socket, then drive the hub inwards near the axel with a sledge, then tighten the axel nut again. Repeat this until the hub is secure on the axel with the last step being a tightening of the big nut. I believe there is a big washer behind the nut which should have one edge bent in over one surface of the nut to secure things but I'm not positive about this.

You could probably rent a big wheel puller from a tractor repair shop or perhaps an industrial rental company. Let us know how you make out. See ya.

Can you provide the same information about serial numbers vs. year manufactured for MF-135 machines made in the US?
