I bought a new MF 533 (2007 version of the 135) in 2007.
It came with an obvious manufacturing defect, not detectable until if first failed with 240 hours on the clock but beyond the 2 year warranty.
Neither MF nor their dealer would help with the repair cost (about $40 in in parts but 6-8 hours of shop time).
Since it was already apart at the dealer (dealer told me that MF would need to see it disassembled at their shop before deciding whether to help with repair costs, so I did not repair it myself for $40 during the off season (it failed in November, the last day that I had planned to use it)), I had no choice but to pay the dealer to repair it.

That fall, I sold both of my MFs, bought two new Kubotas and will never go back.

To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
