The safety of the operator is one of the main concerns in designing and developing a new Tractor. Designers build in as many safety features as possible. However, every year many accidents occur which could have been avoided by a few seconds of thought and a more careful approach to handling farm machinery and implements. You, the operator, can avoid many accidents by observing the following precautions. Study these precautions and insist those working with you and for you follow them.
*
Never attempt starting the engine while standing alongside the tractor. Start the engine only while sitting in the operator's seat.
*
Do
not
bypass the starter safety switch with "home made" wiring. Consult the MF dealer if the starter safety switch should malfunction.
*
Never operate the Tractor engine in a closed building.
*
When operating a gasoline tractor in conjunction with an implement that could discharge trash toward the tractor, install a metal sediment bowl in place of the original heat resistant glass bowl.
*
If the Tractor is equipped with a Saf-T-Frame USE THE SEAT BELT.
*
Safety Shields are for your protection keep them in place.
*
Be particular about loose clothing which can catch easily in moving parts.
*
Only you, the operator, should be permitted on the Tractor when it is in operation. Never allow anyone to ride on drawbar, hitch or fender.
*
Keep a firm grip on the steering wheel at all times with thumbs clear of spokes when operating the
Tractor.
*
Always remain seated when the Tractor is moving over rough ground.
*
Reduce speed of the Tractor on curves, rough ground and hillsides so there is no chance of overturning.
*
Make sure the brakes apply evenly when coupled together.
*
Always keep the Tractor in gear to provide engine braking when going down steep hills or grades.
With Multi-Power Transmission, shift to "High" range to provide engine braking.
*
Never leave the Tractor engine running while working on the Tractor or while drawn equipment is being adjusted, unless specifically recommended.
*
Place the gearshift lever and dual range lever in "Neutral" when the Tractor is stopped. Apply the parking brake before leaving the Tractor platform.
*
Do not leave an implement in the raised position when not in use. Lower the implement to the ground.
*
Always mount and dismount the Tractor from the side. Never to the rear.
*
Never refuel the Tractor when the engine is running. Do not smoke while filling the fuel tank or servicing the fuel system.
*
Add coolant to the radiator only when the engine is stopped or idling slowly. Turn the radiator cap slowly to relieve pressure when removing the cap.
i -
*
Do not hitch towed loads to any point except standard equipment drawbar or cross drawbar with stay link kit. ·
*
Before making adjustments in the electrical system, disconnect the battery cables. This prevents sparks which create a dangerous fire hazard.
*
Be sure all hydraulic connections are tight. Before disconnecting lines and hoses to the Tractor hydraulic system, be sure to relieve all pressures. Escaping hydraulic oil under pressure can cause injury.
*
Never use makeshift jacks when adjusting thread width settings.
*
Only light Category 11 equipment should be used on tractors having Category I linkage. Heavy Category 11 equipment may impair Tractor stability.
*
When preparing calcium chloride solution for liquid tire ballast, never pour water on calcium chloride.
A chlorine gas is generated which can be explosive. This can be avoided by slowly adding the calcium chloride flakes to the water and stirring until dissolved.
*
Always use the headlamps and work lamps for night work.
*
Use safety lights and SMV Emblem when equipment is being driven on the road or highway. (Check with local authorities for possible legal limitations.)
*
As a safety precaution, it is recommended that a fire extinguisher be carried on the Tractor at all times.
*
Remember - "SAFETY" is only a word until it is put into practice.
Look for this symbol to point out important safety precautions. It means - ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT!
YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED.

THE FUEL INJECTION EQUIPMENT IS DESIGNED FOR EFFICIENCY, DURABILITY AND
LONG LIFE. HOWEVE
R, IT CAN BE SERIOUSLY DAMAGED BY WATER, SEDIMENT OR IN-
CORRECT FUEL. THE EXTENT OF TROUBLE-FREE OPERATION AND THE ACTUAL LIFE
OF THE COMPONENTS WILL DEPEND ON THE CARE GIVEN THE SYSTEM.
READ THE INFORMATION LISTED ON THIS PAGE THOROUGHLY AND ADOPT THE
RECOMMENDED PRACTICES. ADHERENCE TO THESE PRACTICES WILL ASSURE ECO-
NOMICAL, TROUBLE-FREE OPERATION AND SATISFACTION WITH YOUR DIESEL
TRACTOR.
1. Select a REPUTABLE SUPPLIER and buy only CLEAN diesel fuel which meets the RE-
QUIRED SPECIFICATIONS.
2. Keep fuel clean by adhering to the following practices: a. Store fuel in tanks equipped with a WATER TRAP. DRAIN TRAPS REGULARLY.
Do not store diesel fuel in galvanized tanks. b. If it is necessary to store the fuel in drums, make sure they are free of WATER,
GASOLINE AND SEDIMENT. Keep drums under cover, away from direct sunlight and rain. Keep plugs in place and tight. c. Once in place, avoid moving the tank or drum. d. Do not use the last few gallons of fuel from the storage tank, as it is likely to
tain
and sediment. e. Handle the fuel as little as possible. AVOID USING CANS AND FUNNELS TO
TRANSFER FUEL, AS THEY ARE DIFFICULT TO KEEP CLEAN.
3. Fill Tractor fuel tank at the end of each day's operation to prevent condensation.
4. Inspect the agglomerator bowl DAILY, before starting the engine. Drain and clean bowl, if water or sediment is present.
IMPORTANT: IF THE AG G L 0 MER AT 0 R BOWL REQUIRES FREQUENT DRAINING,
ADOPT BETTER METHODS OF STORING AND TRANSFERRING THE FUEL. WATER
OR SEDIMENT WILL DAMAGE THE HIGHLY PRECISION INJECTION PUMP AND IN-
JECTORS.
5. Replace the primary fuel filter and
filter at the recommended hourly intervals. DIRTY FUEL FILTERS WILL REDUCE POWER. Make sure to CAREFULLY CLEAN the outside of the filter before removing. USE ONLY GENUINE MF FILTER ELEMENTS.
6. If the injection pump, injectors, or the fuel system should require adjustment or servicing, CALL YOUR MASSEY-FERGUSON DEALER. He has the special training and tools required to do the job properly.

The controls and instruments of your MF 135 Tractor have been located for maximum operator comfort and convenience. The controls and instruments vary slightly, according to the model of Tractor and how it is equipped. These differences will be indicated throughout the
Manual.
Fig. l -
Controls
Before operating your Tractor, study this section of the Operator's Manual, and become thoroughly acquainted with the Tractor controls and their particular functions.
The controls vary according to how the
Tractor is equipped, and these differences will be indicated throughout the Manual.
Steering Wheel and Column
(See Fig. 1)
The height and angle of the steering wheel and column is positioned for maximum comfort to the operator when operating from the sitting position.
Throttle Control Lever (See Fig. 1)
Move the throttle control lever down to increase engine speed and up to decrease engine speed.
Ignition Starter Switch (See Fig. 1)
On diesel models, the switch is a starter
- 1 switch only. When the switch is turned to the right, the starter is engaged. After the engine has started, release starter switch and it will automatically return to the "off" position. When the key is removed from the switch, it is automatically locked.
On gasoline models, the switch is a combination ignition-starter switch. The switch has three positions: "Off", "Ignition" and "Start". Rotating the switch to the right to the "ignition" position activates the Tractor ignition system; further rotation of the switch to the right engages the starter. After the engine has started, release the switch and it will automatically return to the '' i g n it i on' ' po s i t i on. To stop the
Tractor engine, rotate the switch to the
"off" position.
Fuel Shut-Off Control (Diesel Model)
(See Fig. 2)
The fuel shut-off control knob controls the starting and stopping of the diesel en gine. Pushing the control "In" permits fuel to flow to the injectors. Pulling the knob
Fig. 2 -
Controls
toward the operator cuts off the fuel supply to the injectors, stopping the engine.
.
Choke Control {Gasoline Model)
(See Fig. 2)
Pull the choke control knob toward the operator to choke the engine. To start a cold engine, pull the choke control knot out.
As the engine warms up and begins to run smoothly, push the choke control knob in.
NOTE: It is usually not necessary to use the choke to start a warm engine.
Cigarette Lighter {Accessory)
Depress the lighter and it will automatically heat and snap out, ready for use.
Avoid holding lighter in by hand while it is heating.
Light Switch (See Fig. 1)
The headlamps, instrument panel and work-warning lamps, are operated by a rotary switch. The switch has the following positions when rotated to the right from the
"off" position: (1) "Bright" and work-warning light (panel lamps off); (2) "Bright", work-warning light and panel lamps; (3)
"Dim", work-warninglight and panel lamps.
The work-warning light is on in any of the three switch positions. A switch in this light allows you to select a red tail light or a white work light.
Gear Shift Lever (See Fig. 2)
The 12-speed Multi-Power transmission has the shift pattern indicated on the center housing. The 8-speed transmission shift pattern is indicated on the shift knob, with a
Speed Range Chart located on the right
Tractor fender.
Dual Range Shift Lever (See Fig. 2)
The dual range shift lever has the fol-
- 2 lowing positions: (1) "Low", (2) "Neutral" and (3) "High".
The dual range shift lever must be in the "Neutral" position to complete the circuit to engage the starting motor. The dual range shift lever provides two speeds in each gear selected by the use of the gear shift lever.
Multi-Power Shift Lever (6 Speed)
The Multi-Power Shift Lever, if so equipped , is in easy reach of the operator.
The Multi-Power Shift Lever provides the operator with a range of twelve forward and four reverse speeds.
Fig. 3 - Brake Controls
Individual Brake Pedals {See Fig. 3)
Foot pressure, on either the left or right brake pedal, brakes the corresponding rear wheel. This is helpful when making short turns or when operating on steep slopes.
Master Brake Latch (See Fig. 3)
An interlocking latch locks the individual brake pedals together, providing a master brake pedal for highway use.
Parking Brake Latch (See Fig. 3)
The parking brake latch is used for locking the brakes when parking. The latch can
be easily engaged by tripping the latch forward by hand or foot and depressing the brake pedal. To release the parking brake, move the latch to the rear and depress the brake pedal.
Fig. 5 - Differential Lock Pedal
Fig. 4 - Clutch Pedal
Clutch Pedal (See Fig. 4)
A Tractor equipped with" Live" PTO has a dual clutch as standard equipment and a single pedal operates both clutch stages.
Movement of the pedal through the first stage disengages the primary clutch, which will stop the Tractor's forward or reverse motion. Movement through the second stage disengages the secondary clutch, which controls the hydraulic pump and PTO shaft.
Differential Lock Pedal (Option)
(See Fig. 5)
To engage the differential lock, depress the differential lock pedal. To disengage the differential lock turn the front wheels to the right or apply the right brake. Differential lock is especially advantageous where traction is poor. By depressing the differential lock pedal, the rear axles are locked together so both rear wheels pull simultaneously, providing increased traction.
IMPORT ANT: For best results, engage differential lock before excessive slippage occurs. DO NOT EN-
GAGE DIFFERENTIAL LOCK WITH
WHEEL SPINNING EXCESSIVELY .
If this condition occurs, depress clutch pedal and then, engage differential lock.
A Tractor equipped with ''Independent''
PTO uses a single disc clutch. Fully depressing the clutch pedal stops only the forwardor reverse motion of the Tractor, providing a constant running hydraulic system.
On MF 135 Special Tractors, a single disc clutch only, is used. Full depression of the clutch pedal stops the Tractor movement, also stopping the hydraulic pump and PTO shaft.
- 3 -
Power Take-Off Shift Lever
(See Figs. 6 and 7)
The Power Take-Off Shift Lever will vary according to the model of the Tractor and how equipped. The following lists the
Tractor models and PTO options.
The MF 135 Deluxe Tractor can be equipped with either "Live" or "Independent" Power Take-Off.
The MF 135 Orchard Tractor is equipped with ''Live'' Power Take-Off only.
Fig. 6 - "Live" PTO Shift Lever
Fig. 8 - Hydraulic Quadrant Without Pressure
Control
Fig. 7 - "Independent" PTO Shift Lever
The MF 135 Special Tractor is equipped with Transmission Drive Power Take-Off only.
Fig. 9 - Hydraulic Quadrant - With Pressure
Control
The Draft Control Lever is used when workingwith soil-engaging implements and is used to lower and raise the implements.
The MF 135 Vineyard Tractor is equipped with ''Independent'' Power Take-Off only.
Hydraulic Quadrant (See Figs. 8 and 9)
The MF 135 Tractor may be equipped with a hydraulic quadrant with, or without, a
Pressure Control Range on the inner quadrant.
The hydraulic quadrant has two control levers and they are referred to as the Draft
Control Lever and Inner Quadrant Lever.
The inner quadrant lever performs a different function in each of the ranges indicated on the inner quadrant. The ranges are as follows;
Position Control: When operating in the
Position Control range, the operator can select and· maintain a positive position of the
Tractor lower links, regardless of draft load.
Pressure Control (Optional): When operating in the pressure Control range, the
- 4 -
operator can select an amount of weight to be transferred to the Tractor rear wheels when using pull-type implements.
Constant Pumping Range: Moving the inner quadrant lever to the constant pumping range provides a constant volume of oil from the Advanced Ferguson System pump for operation of certain (accessory) auxiliary control valves.
The instrument panel on the MF 135
Deluxe, Vineyard and Orchard Tractors have a tachometer, oil pressure gauge, fuel gauge, water temperature gauge and ammeter gauge, and is lighted by electro-luminesence lighting. The instrument panel on the MF 135 Special Tractor has a water temperature gauge and oil pressure gauge and is not lighted. The function of the gauges are as follows:
Tachometer (See Fig. 11)
The tachometer indicates engine rpm, standard PTO and belt pulley speeds. Window shows accumulated engine hours at an average of 1875 engine rpm.
Fig. l 0 -
Response Control Lever
Fig.
The response control lever is used in conjunction with the Draft Control Lever for controlling the rate at which the Draft
Control system responds to draft loads. It also governs the lowering rate of implements in Draft Control and Position Control ranges.
Water Temperature Gauge
(See Figs. 11 and 12)
The water temperature gauge indicates the engine water temperature. Normal en gine temperature is when the indicator is registering in the white portion of the dial.
If the indicator registers in the red portion of the dial, the engine is overheating.
If the engine overheats, determine the cause 9,n.d correct it before continuing to operate the
Tractor.
Ammeter (See Fig. 11)
The ammeter indicates the rates of bat-

Instruments (Special Tractor)
tery charge or discharge. The indicator should always register in the (+) side of the dial except with the engine idling, or with a fully _ charged battery. The indicator will not show a charge in these cases.
Oil Pressure Gauge (See Figs.
11 and 12)
The oil pressure gauge indicates the oil pressure of the engine lubrication system.
The gauge indicator should always register in the white area of the dial after the engine is started and warmed up.
If the indicator registers in the red area of the dial, a low pressure is indicated. DO NOT OPERATE
THE ENGINE WHEN A LOW OIL PRESSURE
IS INDICATED. THIS COULD CAUSE SE-
RIOUS DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE.
Fuel Gauge (See Fig. 11)
The fuel gauge indicates the amount of fuel in the tank.
IMPORT ANT: Fill the fuel tank before it becomes empty! If a diesel system is allowed to run out of fuel, it will become necessary to ''airbleed" the fuel system after filling the fuel tank. (See "Servicing" section for "Air-Bleeding'' the fuel system.)

Greater satisfaction will be obtained if these cold weather starting recommendations are followed:
1. Use fuel which conforms to cold weather operation specifications. (Diesel
Model -- Refer to "Diesel Fuel Specifications Chart".)
2. Use crankcase oil of the correct viscosity for cold weather operation. (Refer to
"Lubricants and Lubrication" section.)
3.
Be sure battery is fully charged so maximum cranking speed can be obtained.
4. Diesel only. In extrem e
1 y cold weather, heat created by compression in the diesel engine may not be sufficient to ignite the injected fuel. For this reason, a starting fluid adaptor is available as an accessory for the diesel engine. a. Advance the throttle to the 1/4 to
1/2 open position. b. Remove the cap from the starting fluid adaptor and position the aerosol can in the adaptor. c. Push the fuel shut-off knob in and engage starter. d. Push up on starting fluid can to inject starting fluid into the engine air intake system. Use starting fluid sparingly and cautiously, injecting it into the adaptor in shots while the engine is being cranked. e. After engine has started, replace screw-on cap on the adaptor, being sure the rubber gasket is in place. Failure to replace the cap on the adaptor will permit unfiltered air to enter the engine air intake system.
CAUTION: Use starting fluid sparingly and cautiously. Don't smoke while using starting fluid.
Keep it out of the reach of children.
Extreme care should be exer cised to reinstall starting fluid can lid to ensure against leakage.
This is particularly important when starting fluid is carried in an enclosure, such as Tractor cab.
PRACTICE SAFETY.
5. Be sure the ignition system components are in good working order for the gasoline engine and use choke to assist cold weather starting.
An easily installed 500-watt engine block heater kit can be installed in the side of the engine block. When plugged into a 110-120
A. C. electrical outlet, it will heat the engine coolant, making the engine easier to start in freezing temperatures,
Observing the Instruments
Form a habit of observing the instruments, especially during the warm-up period. Frequently observe the instruments while operating the Tractor. The instruments are conveniently located and can be observed at a glance. If the instruments indicate an operational malfunction in their systems, immediately stop the Tractor engine. Determine and correct the malfunction before continuing the operation of the
Tractor.
Tractor Warm-Up Peroid
Allow the Tractor engine to warm up sufficiently before placing it under load. Oil will then circulate freely, preventing undue wear on moving parts , Do not ''race''
«
cold engine during the warm-up period.
This contributes to poor fuel economy and engine wear. Running the cold engine at an idle rpm during the warm-up period causes crankcase dilution. Allow the engine to warm-up by running at 1000 to 1200 engine rpm.
Break-In Procedure
This Tractor has been designed and developed to furnish many hours of trouble-

Never Allow Anyone, Particularly Youngsters, to Ride Anywhere on the Tractor Except in the
Tractor Seat. free operation. However, an important factor in obtaining trouble-free operation is proper "brake-in" procedures. Follow these suggestions to properly "break-in" this Tractor.
1. During the first 50 hours of operation, run the Tractor under medium load at normal operating temperature. Avoid" lugging" or "over-loading" the engine, but do not operate the Tractor on continuous light loads or at an excessively low engine rpm.
NOTE : The engine should not be operated continuously under full load or at maximum rpm during the
"break-in".
2. When encountering heavy load operation, such as plowing, during the "'break-in" period, avoid "over-loading'' or "lugging" the Tractor. Should this type of operation be encountered, shift one gear lower than would normally be used. However, during the
"break-in" period, vary the load by shifting up to the normal gear range for short periods. This will temporarily place the engine under normal load conditions .
3. Periodically check to ensure that an adequate supply of oil is maintained in the engine crankcase. Engine oil consumption is not uncommon until the engine is proper-
- 12 erly "broken-in". The SAE Grade must correspond to the recommendations in the lubrication specifications and capacities chart.
4. Change the engine oil and filter element after the first 50 hours of operation and fill the engine crankcase with a reputable brand of engine oil. Refer to the "Lubrication Specifications and Capacities'' .
5. Check the fan belt tension after the first 10 hours of operation and tighten to the proper tension if required. (See · ''Servicing''
Section for specifications. )
6. During break-in period, check all bolts, nuts, capscrews and metal screws for tightness. If any are found to be loose, tighten them securely. This will assure that all parts and assemblies are held in alignment.
This Tractor may be equipped with either a standard transmission or a Multi-Power
Transmission. The standard transmission provides 6 forward and 2 reverse speeds.
The Multi-Power Transmission provides 12 forward and 4 reverse speeds. The gears, coupled with various engine rpms, allow the operator to balance load and speed for maximum economy and performance.
11
Hot Rodding
11
Invites Tragedy.
Important factors in selecting the correct gear are:
1. Proper operating speed of the implement.
2. Field conditions and terrain.
3. Tractor performance and operator safety.
NOTE: Racing the engine under light load contributes to poor fuel economy. Excessive "lugging" of the engine accelerates engine wear, as well as causing the engine to overheat .

Shifting Gears
To ensure long transmission life, use care when shifting gears. Follow these suggestions when shifting:
1. With the engine running at low rpm and the Tractor not moving, depress the clutch pedal.
2. Move the gearshift lever into the desired gear and the dual range shift lever into the desired range.
3. If the gears refuse to engage, release the clutch pedal slightly and repeat step 2.
4. After the selected gears have been properly engaged, release the clutch pedal, increasing the throttle setting until the desired speed is reached.
5. When shifting from one gear to an other, make the shift at a low engine rpm.
Shift gears care f u 11 y. Clashing gears causes unnecessary transmission wear and possible damage.
6. After shifting gears, DO NOT RIDE
THE CLUTCH as this causes undue wear and overheating of the clutch release bearing, clutch disc and pressure plate.
Stopping the Tractor
1. Reduce engine rpm and apply even foot pressure on both brake pedals.
2. Depress the clutch pedal and move the gearshift lever and dual range lever to
"Neutral" position.
3. Firmly lock the master parking brake.
4. Turn off ignition switch or pull the fuel shut-off control knob out to shut off the engine.

Towing the Tractor
Use extreme care when towing the Tractor. Make sure the towing device is securely attached to the Tractor as well as the towing vehicle. Place the gearshift lever and dual range lever in "Neutral." When towing the Tractor on the highway, equip Tractor with the proper warning devices.
A
NOTE:
Tractors equipped with
Multi-Power Transmission cannot be started by pushing or towing.
Careless Towing Methods are Very Dangerous.
Multi-Power Transmission
The Multi-Power Transmission provides twelve forward and four reverse speeds.
This wide range of speeds provides greater efficiency in all operations.
Multi-Power provides a "shift-on-thego" feature. Move the Multi-Power Lever to ''Low'' for greater pulling power to pull through tough spots and heavy crops. Move the Multi-Power Lever to "High" to increase ground speed. No need to disengage the clutch when shifting Multi-Power ranges.
1. When starting the Tractor, the Multi-
Power Lever should be in ''High'' position, due to lubrication of various components of the transmission.
2. The Multi-Power Lever may be shifted without disengaging the clutch,
ing you to "shift-on-the-go". When shifting the Multi-Power Lever, always move the lever all the way up or down.
3. Disengage the clutch only when shifting the gearshift lever or dual range lever.
4.
The Tractor should be operated in
"High" range of Multi-Power. This allows you to shift to ''Low'' Multi -Power without disengaging the clutch when increased power is needed.
5. When descending a hill, shift the
Multi -Power Lever to "High" for engine braking.
6. A Tractor equipped with Multi-Power
Transmission cannot be started by pushing or towing.
7. If there is difficulty in shifting the standard gears, move the Multi-Power Lever to ''Low''.
8. Parking procedure: a. Shut off Tractor engine. b. SECURELY SET THE MASTER
PARKING BRAKE.
NOTE: Multi-Power Transmission does not permit engine compression to be used for braking Tractor
parked in gear .
Test for Overload
With the Tractor moving under load, set the throttle lever half-way open. Quickly advance throttle lever to the "full open" position. The engine should begin to gain rpm and build up to its maximum rpm. If the engine fails to gain rpm, it is overloaded and you should shift to a lower gear. Intermittent overload in hilly terrain operation is not harmful.
Fig. 19 - Hydraulic Quadrant - Without Pressure
Control
(See Figs. 19 and 20)
The
135 Tractors are equipped with the
famous Advanced Ferguson Hy-
and 3-Point Hitch, which is, in brief,
combination of mechanical linkage and hydraulic mechanisms for controlling the operation of implements.
The Advanced Ferguson Hydraulic System and 3- Point Hitch, with Draft Control,
Position Control, Pressure Control (optional)
Response Control, is an easy implement attachment system, capable of handling
I, 3-point hitch implements. This
is also equipped with a constant pumping position, allowing the operation of remote hydraulic cylinders and Auxiliary
Hydraulic Control Valves (Accessory).
Fig. 20 - Hydraulic Quadrant - With Pressure
Control
15 -
When to Use Draft Control
Draft Control is used when the 3-point hitch implement is of the soil-engaging type and when the implement is required to maintain a uniform working depth and follow the contour of the ground. When using a Draft
Controlled implement, such as a plow, subsoiler, etc. , the draft system automatically maintains a furrow at implement working depth and transfers weight of the Tractor rear wheels to provide traction, regardless of field undulations. When working in a field that possesses various soil textures, uniform depth can be maintained by minor adjustments to the Draft Control Lever. to be used as a reference. This will allow the operator to lower the implement to the same selected working depth.
To raise a Draft Controlled implement to the transport position, move the Draft
Control Lever up until the transport posftion is reached.
When to Use Response Control
Response Control is used in direct conjunction with Draft Control. The Response
Control governs the rate at which 3-point hitch implements are lowered to the ground from the transport position, and governs the rate the Draft Control System responds to various draft loads. Response Control can also be used with Position Control to regulate the implement lowering rate.
Fig. 21 - Using Draft Control
Using the Draft Control Lever
(See Fig. 21)
The Draft Control Lever is used to raise, lower and re gu 1 ate the operating depth of draft tools. When using the Draft
Control Lever, place the inner quadrant lever in the transport position of the Position
Control range.
To lower a Draft Controlled implement from the transport position to the ground, move the Draft Control Lever down. If the implement is running too shallow, continue to move the Draft Control Lever down until the desired depth is obtained. If the implement is running too deep, move the Draft
Control Lever up until the desired depth has been obtained. The adjustable locator may be set in line with the Draft Control Lever
- 16 -
Fig. 22 Using Response Control
Using Response Control (See Fig. 22)
Certain implements are very active in the soil and cause rapid changes to the draft load due to aggressive implement penetration. These rapid changes can be smoothed out by moving the Response Control toward the "slow" position. If the implement tends to "float" in the soil (as indicated by progressively shallower implement depth), the
Draft response may be too slow. This can be corrected by moving the Response Control toward the "fast" position until the
Draft Control System responds correctly.
Inner Quadrant Control Lever
{See Figs. 19 and 20)
The Inner Quadrant has three ranges:
(1) Position Control, (2) Constant Pumping and (3) Pressure Control (optional). One
Inner Quadrant Lever performs a different function in each of the three ranges. The operation of the Inner Quadrant Lever in each of the three ranges is as follows:
When to Use Position Control
The Position Control range is used for operating 3-point hitch mounted tools that are not Draft Controlled, such as soil scoops, post hole diggers and cranes. Implements of this type may be held at a fixed height, depth or intermediate position, regardless of Draft loads, thus establishing an infinite number of lower link positions which correspond to the inner quadrant lever. operate 3-point hitch implements that are not Draft Controlled.
Moving the inner quadrant lever toward
"transport" position will raise the implement. Moving the inner quadrant lever toward "down" position will lower the implement. Locating the inner quadrant lever at intermediate positions within the Position
Control range will locate the lower links at corresponding intermediate positions. The quadrant has an adjustable stop that allows the operator to return the inner quadrant lever from transport to the same desired operating position.
Fig. 23 - Using Position Control
When to Use Pressure Control
{Optional)
A Universal Pressure Control Hitch (Accessory) is required to use Pressure Control.
Pressure Control is used with pull-type implements to provide tractive weight as required. The portion of implement weight that is transferred to the drive wheels by use of Pressure Control results in a near proportionate transfer of weight from the front of the Tractor and the implement. When using
Pressure Control and Draft Control, front end weights are normally required to maintain Tractor front end stability.
The amount of implement weight to be transferred to the Tractor rear wheels is determined by the position of the inner quadrant lever in the Pressure Control range.
Movement of the inner quadrant lever will increase or decrease the hydraulic pressure in the system. For a given setting, the
Pressure Control System will maintain the desired amount of weight transferred to the
Tractor rear wheels by maintaining a constant pressure, even as the Tractor and implement crosses uneven field conditions.
Using Position Control {See Fig. 23)
When operating in the Position Control
Range, place the Draft Control Lever in the rully raised position.
Shift the inner quadrant lever to the Position Control Range, and establish a transport stop by moving the stop for the Pressure
Control Range to the upper end of the slot.
This will provide the correct setting of the inner quadrant lever for transport when operating in Position Control. The inner quadrant lever may be used to raise, lower and

Move the inner quadrant lever to the low pressure area of the Pressure Control range. Move the Draft Control Lever to the fully raised position. Pull-type implements,
transfer. If traction decreases due to a soft spot in the field, the stop can be by-passed to i ncrease weight transfer, as needed. After pulling through the soft spot, the inner quadrant lever can be returned to its original setting .
When making turns at the end of the field with the implement and Tractor, Pressure
Cont r ol should be reduced as the implement is lifted out of the ground by the auxiliary hydraulic system, activating the implement ground wheels. When operating in high pressure area of the pressure range with implements that are not ordinarily lifted out of the ground, Pressure Control should be reduced while turning.
Fig. 24 - Using Pressure Control
as well as 3-point hitch implements having gauge wheels, may be operated in the Pressure Control range; their operation procedures are as follows:
Using Pressure Control with Pull-Type
Implements Onlx
For ground engaging pull-type implements, the implement working depth (as well as raising the implement to the transport po sition), is controlled by a remote control cylinder coupled to the auxiliary hydraulic system. With the auxiliary hydraulic system, lower the implement to the desired working depth. At this time, the inner quadrant lever should be in the lower pressure area of the pressure range . As the
Tractor is driven forward, move the inner quadrant lever upward on the quadrant until adequate traction can be maintained on the rear wheels.
IMPORT ANT: Transferring an excessive amount of implement weight to the Tractor will not only impair steering traction but could result in poor implement performance. Too little weight transfer will result in wheel slippage and excessive fuel consumption.
After adequate traction has been obtained, the adjustable stop should be set above the inner quadrant lever. This will prevent the inner quadrant lever from being moved accidentally above the desired setting, which would exert unnecessary weight
- 18 -
Constant Pumping Range {See Fig. 25)
When the inner quadrant lever is in the constant pumping range, the Advanced Ferguson System Pump supplies 4. 8 U.S. - 4
Imp. gpm of hydraulic oil to the hydraulic lift cover. An Auxiliary Hydraulic Control
Valve (Accessory) can be operated from this oil supply.
An important feature of the Advanced
Ferguson Hydraulic System is the Auxiliary
Hydraulic.s. This system utilizes the hydraulic oil supply, 4 . 8 gpm at 2000 engine

rpm, from the Advanced Ferguson Hydraulic
System pump. A single-acting remote cylinder may be operated with the Draft Control
Lever, with the Inner Quadrant Control lever in the constant pumping position without an Auxiliary Control Valve (Accessory).
To operate one or two double-acting remote cylinders an Auxiliary Control Valve (Accessory) must be mounted.
For a complete coverage of the Auxiliary
Hydraulic
System ~
Manual of the Auxiliary Hydraulic System, that accompanies the Tractor.
Lock-Out and Variable Drop Cartridge
(Accessory)
When operating remote cylinders to raise or lower implements, the rate of cylinder retract (implement lowering) may be adjusted to suit the operating conditions.
Implements may be lowered from transport slow or fast, depending upon the adjustment of the knurled knob located on top of the control valve body.
To adjust the rate of cylinder retract, turn the control knob ''out'' to ''slow down'' the retract speed. Turn the control knob
"in" to "speed up" the retract speed.
To hydraulically lock an implement in transport, turn the knurled knob "out" all the way. To relieve this hydraulic lock, turn the knob ''in''.

"Live" Power Take-Off (See Fig. 37)
On Tractors equipped with "Live" PTO, the operator may select two PTO speeds:
( 1) Proportional engine speed PTO or, (2)
Proportional ground speed PTO. Selection of these two speeds is done with the PTO shift lever.
A power take-off shaft provides engine power directly to PTO operated implements,
Fig. 36 - PTO Shaft - 540 RPM
23 -
Your MF 135 Tractor is fitted with a dual clutch, which allows the PTO shaft to operate independent of Tractor forward motion. When operating in engine PTO, the primary clutch may be disengaged, stopping
Tractor forward motion; the PTO shaft will continue to rotate. Fully depressing the clutch pedal through the second stage will stop PTO shaft operation as well as the hydraulic pump. When the engine is operated at 1700 rpm, the PTO shaft operates at 540 rpm. This conforms to the ASAE standard
PTO speed recommendation.
When operating in ground speed PTO, the
PTO shaft operates in proportion to ground spee d. This produces one revolution of the
PTO shaft for approximately each twenty inches of forward travel of the Tractor, regard less of engaged transmission gear or speed. This feature is very desirable when operating implements which require operating speeds proportional to the Tractor forward speed (i.e. : PTO driven side delivery rake, etc.)
IMPORTANT: When backing the
Tractor, the PTO shift lever must be shifted from ' ' Gr o u n d Speed
PTO" to the "Neutral" position.
Failure to do so may result in damage to the implement, as the implement drive mechanism will be reversed.

Power Take-Off
Shift Lever
"Independent" Power Take-Off
(See Fig. 38}
On Tractors equipped with" Independent"
PTO, operation of the PTO shaft is com pletely independent of the transmission drive clutch. Fully depressing the clutch pedal does not stop the PTO shaft, only the ground travel of the Tractor.
"Independent" PTO clutch control is engaged and disengaged by a hand lever. There are two positions provided for the lever,
"ON" and "OFF". A PTO brake is engaged in the "OFF" position to prevent the PTO shaft from "creeping" due to oil drag in the clutch. The PTO clutch may be feathered by slowly moving the ''Independent'' PTO shaft
24 lever to the full "ON'' position. The gradual build-up of oil pressure to the clutch pack, by slow movement of the PTO shift lever, provides smoother engagement. When the engine is operated at 1700 rpm, the PTO shaft operates at 540 rpm. This conforms to the ASAE standard PTO speed recommendation.
IMPORTANT: Operate the "Independent'' PTO with the shift lever in fully" ON" detent position. To ensure positive engagement of the
Power Take-Off Clutch, the engine must be operated at speeds above
7 50 rpm. Do not modulate or attempt to start a dead load.
Transmission Driven Power Take-Off
On Tractors equipped with Transmission
Driven Power Take-Off, the operator may select only proportional engine speed PTO.
When the engine is operated at 1500 rpm the
PTO shaft operates at 540 rpm.
The Tractor is equipped with a single stage clutch. When the clutch pedal is depressed, the forward motion of the Tractor, hydraulic pump and rotation of the PTO shaft is stopped.
CAUTION: NEVER operate
PTO driven implements without proper safety shields installed on Tractor and implement.
PRACTICE SAFETY.
Never Operate PTO without Shields.
Front Wheel Tread Widths (See Figs. 39 and 40)
The MF 135 Standard Clearance, Vineyard, and Special Tractors have a swE;pt-back front axle that is adjustable in 4'' increments. An exclusive feature of this front axle is that, when adjusting the front axle width, the radius rods follow the axle extension assemblies. This gives maximum stability at each of the desired widths. The front wheel toe-in will remain the same after adjusting the axle to the desired setting. The MF 135 Orchard Special Tractor has a non-adjustable front axle.
The front wheel tread width is measured from center-to-center of the tire.
The front axle widths for the individual
Tractors are as follows:

CARE OF TIRES
To reduce amount of wear, and prolong life of tires, it is important correct pressures be maintained by regular checks.
When Tractor is going to be out of use for a prolonged period, or is being stored, block up both sides of axles to take weight of Tractor off tires.
If oil, gasoline or similar products are spilled on a tire, clean this area of tire immediately . Never park or stop Tractor with tires standing in a moist oil patch.
Whenever possible, park Tractor where tires will be shaded from direct rays of sun. This is particularly important if Tractor is parked for prolonged periods, or is being stored .

Low-atmospheric temperatures as well as engine operation at high altitudes may require use of fuels with higher cetane ratings.
engine performance, clean fuel must enter the injection pump. Use the following information as a guide for successful fuel handling.
Gasoline Engine
The gasoline engine in the MF 135
Tractor is designed to operate efficiently on a reputable brand of regular grade gasoline
(93 octane minimum). Continued use of poor quality fuel can cause engine overheating, "pinging", excessive engine wear and poor fuel economy.
Diesel Engine
Diesel fuels are classified as either a
No. 1 (No. ID) or No. 2 (No. 2D) fuel.
The grade No. 2 fuel, which is heavier and will produce more work per gallon, is recommended for service when the air temperature is 320 F., or above. The grade No. 1 fuel, which is lighter, is recommended for service when the air temperature is below
320 F. See chart for diesel fuel requirements.

• Store fuel in tanks manufactured especially for fuel storage. Use a tank equipped with a WATER TRAP
OR FILTER. Drain the water trap or change filter regularly. Do not store diesel fuel in a galvanized tank.
• Place fuel tank in a shaded area, away from buildings.
• Once fuel tank is in place, avoid moving it.
• Avoid using the last few gallons of fuel from the storage tank. This fuel may contain water or sediment that is accumulated in the tank.

This section of the Operator's Manual deals with lubricants and lubrication procedures for your MF 135 Tractor. Regular lubrication is essential to ensure trouble-free performance throughout the life of your Tractor. Make it a habit to lubricate your Tractor properly at the recommended intervals, using the recommended lubricants.
Many of the bearings are pre-packed with grease and sealed at the factory. These do not require lubrication at regular intervals. Other bearings that do require lubrication are equipped with grease fittings for application of a pressure-type grease gun.
Keep all containers of lubricants as clean as possible, especially around the cap.
Wipe the tip of the pressure gun and the grease fitting with a clean cloth before attaching the gun. This will prevent dirt and grit being forced into a bearing which will cause excessive wear and shorten its life.
Wipe the gun and the fitting again after the gun has been removed.
Be sure to insert sufficient lubricant into a bearing. This can be observed by the new lubricant forcing the old lubricant from the bearing. (Exceptwhere recommended otherwise.)
Wipe off all excess grease with a clean cloth, after lubricating a bearing. Excess grease around a bearing collects dirt and grit.
The proper storing of lubricants cannot be over-emphasized. Store lubricants in clean, sealed containers and properly label containers as to their correct contents.
Tractor life can be maintained only if clean lubricants are used. Your Tractor is equipped with safeguards, such as oil filters and oil seals, which are designed to keep abrasive materials from entering the lubricating system. Clean lubricants will help
1 these safebuards to do their job properly.

"NOTE: Filter element replacement may become necessary more often in some climatic conditions, especially in cold weather areas.''
_________,,
In order for your Tractor's engine to function properly and efficient! y, it is necessary that the fuel system be kept CLEAN and FREE FROM AIR. It will be necessary to "air-bleed" the fuel system, if: (1) the fuel tank has been permitted to run dry, ( 2) the Tractor has not been used for a considerable period of time, ( 3) the fuel filter is drained or ( 4) any vent plug in the system is opened.
TO BLEED THE SYSTEM, proceed as follows: (See Figs. 53, 54, and 55).
1. Loosen the air-vent plug on the fuel filter. (Fig. 53)
2. Pump the manual lever on the primary fuel pump (Fig. 54) until air-free fuel comes out the air-vent plug. Tighten the vent plug securely. (Fig. 53)
Fig. 55 - Injection Pump
3. Loosen the lower vent plug on the injection pump body and operate the primary pump manual lever until air-free fuel flows out this port. Tighten the vent plug. (See
Fig.
55.)
4. Loosen the upper vent plug on the injection pump body and operate the primary pump manual lever until air-free fuel flows out this port. Tighten the vent plug. (See
Fig. 55.)
5. Operate the primary pump manual lever an additional 10 times to ensure that there is fuel in the bleed-back lines to the filter.
6.
Loosen a pressure line at the injection connection. Turn the engine over with the starter motor until air-free fuel is present at the connections . Tighten the injector connection.
NITTE: For this operation, the fuel shut-off control knob must be pushed in.
7. Turn the engine over with the starting motor until the engine starts.
NITTE: Do not operate the starter motor continuously for more than
30 seconds without allowing a few minutes for cooling.
Fig. 54 - Primary Fuel Pump
- 39 -
The only adjustment that can be made on the injection pump is the idle speed adjustment. This can be done by turning the idle speed stop screw in or out until an idle speed of 725 to 775 rpm is obtained. It is important that the engine idles at this speed.
Fig. 56 - Fuel Sediment Bowl
Gasoline Fuel System
£ T h e bowl should be checked daily for water and sediment.
If water or sediment has accumulated in the bowl, close the fuel shut-off valve, remove the bowl and empty the water sediment.
Clean the inside of the bowl. Reinstall.
Idling Air Adjustment
Turn out the idling adjustment screw approximately 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 turns from the closed position, or until the engine idles smoothly when operating at normal temperature.
Idling Speed Adjustment
Turn the screw in to increase or out to dee rease idling speed. The gasoline engine idle speed is 750 ± 25.
Drain Carburetor Bowl (Gasoline Models)
(See Fig. 58)

Remove the spark plugs every 100 hours for inspection, cleaning and re-seting.
To service spark plugs on gasoline model Tractors : a. Remove heat shield. b. Clean debris from around the spark plugs. c. Remove spark plugs with 3/8" drive 13/16" plug socket.
Check the plug electrodes for wear, and the porcelain for cracks. If the porcelain is cracked, a new plug must be installed. The electrodes should be cleaned, preferably by sandblasting and the gap reset to 0. 025 inch.
When plugs are installed, a serviceable gasket should be used and the gasket seat checked to ensure it is clean. The gasket is required to dissipate heat from the plug to help ensure longer life and greater efficiency. Tighten plugs to 32-38 ft. -lbs. torque. Spark plugs should be replaced every
300 operating hours for maximum performance and fuel economy. Install Champion
N12Y or Massey-Ferguson spark plugs.
The N12Y is a long reach plug which is installed in all AG3.152 engines from Serial No. 15061 A and up. When replacing plugs, replace with the same type.

It is impossible to obtain economical and satisfactory engine performance if the
- 41 -
distributor is not in good working condition.
The distributor should be checked every 100 hours of operation and serviced as follows:
Check the high tension wiring. Frayed or corroded wire tips, loose, dirty or greasy connections and terminals will build up a resistance to proper current flow, therefore, causing poor performance.
e
The breaker points are a critical part of the ignition system. Check the points for signs of wear, pitting and burning.
Points with an overall gray color and a slight roughness or pitting may be dressed with a clean, fine-cut contact file. There is no necessity to remove all roughness, or dress the points smooth. Just remove any scale and dirt.
NOTE: Do not use emery cloth to clean the points, as particles can become embedded and cause arching and rapid burning of the points .
Burned or badly pitted points should be replaced with a new set of points.
NOTE: New sets of points and condenser are available through your
MF Dealer.
Check and reset the breaker points. The procedure is the same for old or new points.
Turn the engine over until the high point of the cam is contacting the segment of the breaker point arm with the points open the full amount.
Loosen screw, adjust the gap to 0.021 irtch, and tighten screw making sure points are aligned and making full contact.
e
It is recommended that the ignition system be timed with a timing light by your authorized MF Dealer. This provides an accurate method of checking the distributor automatic advance mechanism.
- 42 -
The gasoline engine is timed at 26° before top dead center with the engine running at 2250 rpm (no load).
Air Filter (See Fig. 61)
The air filter is of the dry-element type.
It is essential that the filter be kept clean and free from any type of restriction. Tangential air flow through the air filter, swirls the air so that the coarse particles of foreign material are spun off and collected in a reservoir and are then expelled through an unloader valve attached to the bottom of the air filter assembly.
Fig. 61 - Dual Air Cleaner
The outer elements should be replaced yearly, or after three washings, whichever comes first. Replace inner element yearly.
1. Do not loosen or remove the air cleaner element with the engine running. NEVER OPERATE
THE ENGINE WITHOUT THE FIL-
TER ELEMENT INSTALLED IN
THE AIR CLEANER.
2. The element is of the drytype . Do not oil element. Also, never wash element in gasoline, fuel oil or sol vents.
3. With the element in place, make sure the knurled knob is fully tightened "finger tight".
4. Unnecessary and improper cleaning of the element may contribute to introducing dust into the engine.
5. If the filter element has been washed, it must be completely dry before it is reused.
6. Check all air intake hoses for tightness. Replace hoses which are cracked or appear questionable.
7. Avoid imitation parts. Use only genuine Massey-Ferguson replacement filter elements.
To clean the element, proceed lows: withdraw the filter element. as fol-
1. Turn the knurled knob counterclockwise and remove the holding bracket. Then
2. Use a clean damp cloth and carefully wipe the inside of the housing and the element retaining bracket to remove any dust or foreign matter present. Make sure rubber unloading valve is completely open and clean.
3. Determine if air cleaner element is still serviceable and may be cleaned and reused. MAKE SURE THE ELEMENT IS
IN GOOD PHYSICAL CONDITION BEFORE
CONSIDERING CLEANING IT.
If rubber seal on end of element is damaged, or if metal canister is dented or damaged, the element must be replaced regardless of how old it is or how many times it has been cleaned.
Soak element in solution for 4 hours , retaining a temperature of 120° to 1500 F most effective cleaning.
Agitate element, then rinse both inside and outside surfaces of element with clean water from a hose. Continue until drain water is clear.
Inspect element for pin holes, pleat damage or ruptures that may have occurred because of careless handling.
.
NITTE: To avoid any operating delay while the dirty element is being washed and dried, it is recommended that a spare element be kept on hand as an immediate replacement part. for
5. After cleaning, place a light bulb inside the element and carefully check the element for ruptures or other damage. For best results, do this in a darkened area
0
Inspection of the element on the outside will then disclose any small holes or major ruptures. ANY HOLE IN THE FILTER ELE-
MENT; EVEN THE SMALLEST; WILL AL-
LOW DUST TO PASS INTO THE ENGINE
AND CAUSE INCREASED ENGINE WEAR.
6. Carefully install filter element into air cleaner, then install the holding bracket and tighten the knurled knob clockwise by hand until it is tight. As a double check, attempt to rotate the element by hand. If the element can be rotated, it is improperly installed or the knurled knob is not tight enough.
4. Clean the outer element. Use compressed air to back-flow element. This preliminary cleaning will remove the loose dust, making washing easier.
Prepare solution (MF 1900 726 Ml) according to directions on the carton.
- 43 -
Replacing Inner Filter Element
To replace the inner filter element, follow the procedures for removing the outer filter element, then remove the nut holding the inner element and carefully remove the element.
Use a damp cloth and carefully wipe clean the housing and bracket to remove any dust or foreign matter present. Install new filter element and tighten nut until filter element cannot be rotated by hand. · Install a clean, or new, outer filter element.

DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust the voltage regulator, starter or alternator assemblies as these assemblies are best serviced by trained personnel with adequate service equipment.
Fig. 65 - Battery
Easy access to the battery is gained through the service door. Clean and inspect the cables, terminals and battery surface.
Clean off corrosion and apply grease to prev _ Keep electrolyte level to the bottom of the filler tubes. Add distilled wate~ only. Do not over-tighten the battery earner.
Checking Electrolyte
B
Every 50 hours of operation the specific gravity of the electrolyte in the battery should be checked with an accurate hydrometer. The specific gravity of the electrolyte in a fully charged battery is 1. 260 to
1. 300.
If the specific gravity is below
1. 255, it indicates that the battery charge is low and the battery should be recharged.
NOTE: The specific gravity should be checked before water is added to battery. ·

Checking Water Lever
G
The level of the electrolyte should be checked periodically, and distilled water added to bring it up to correct level. Do not overfill as the electrolyte will spill onto top of battery through the vent plugs during operation.
The level of e 1 e ctr o 1 y t e should be maintained to the bottom of the filler tubes.

Always use distilled water or rain water in the battery.
Fig. 66 - Alternator
Alternator (See Fig. 66)
The alternator on the MF 135 Tractor is the latest advancement in providing electrical power to supply the demands of electricallyoperated assemblies found on the Tractor.
The following precautions must be observed to ensure maximum life and performance of the alternator.
1. When installing a battery, always make absolutely sure the ground polarity of the battery and the ground polarity of the alternator are the same. If a battery of the wrong polarity is connected into the charging system, or if the battery is reversed when installing it, the battery is directly shorted through the diodes. Consequently, the diodes and wiring are endangered by high current flow. Burned wiring harness and burned "open" diodes probably will result.
- 46 -
2. When connecting a booster or "slave" battery, make certain to connect the negative battery terminals together and the positive battery terminals together. Failure to observe this precaution will result in the same damage as just described previously.
3. When connecting a charger to the battery, connect the charger positive lead to the batterypositive terminal and the charger negative lead to battery negative terminal.
Failure to follow this procedure will result in the same damage as described in the first precaution.
4. Never operate the alternator on open circuit. With no battery or electric load in the circuit (open circuit), the alternator can build up high voltages which could be extermely dangerous to anyone who might accidentally touch the alternator battery terminal. Before making tests or" on-the-Tractor" checks, make sure that all connections in the circuit are tight and secure.
5. Do not short across or ground any of the terminals on the alternator or regulator. Any artificial circuit set up by purposely grounding or shorting any of the alternator or regulator terminals can cause serious electrical malfunctions that might endanger components of the electrical system.
6. Do not attempt to polarize the alternator. Alternator polarizing is not necessary, since the voltage developed within the alternator is of both polarities and the diode rectifier automatically controls the direction of current flow. It is of vital im portance, as discussed in the first precautions, that the battery ground and the alternator ground be of the same polarity for diode protection.

Cooling System
The cooling system on the MF 135 Tractor consists of a radiator, pressure-type radiator cap, fan, thermostat and water pump. The cooling system capacity is
10. 5
U.S. - 8. 4 Imp. quarts. The cooling system in both the gas and diesel engines incorporates a thermostat by-pass port, which allows a more rapid and even engine warm-up.
This type of system circulates a metered amount of the coolant through the water pump back into the engine block before the thermostat opens.
Fig.
67 - Fan Belt Adjustment prohibit their use. Local laws should be checked for possible legal limitations.
Where it is necessary or desirable not to use the warning light, the wir e can simply be disconnected and the ends of the wires insulated by taping, etc., or the flasher unit can be removed. The flasher unit is located inside of the combination wo rk-tail light.
Where it is necessary, or desirable not to use the flashing wa rning light, but to use the warning lights as a steady burning light, the flasher unit may be shorted across by securely wrapping the flasher prongs with several wraps of copper wire, or by soldering a wire onto both prongs and plugging the flasher unit back into the clip. The two wires in the flasher plug-in clip could have the insulation removed in a small area, the wires twisted or soldered together and then insulated by taping, etc. , or a jumper clip could be cut out of copper or aluminum and plugged in place on the flasher unit.
It is important that dirt, chaff, etc., be kept cleaned from the radiator fins. To simplify cleaning the radiator fins, the
Tractor grille is easily removed to gain access to the radiator. To remove grille, loosen the knurled knob at the top of the grille, tilt top of grille out and lift it up.
(See Fig. 69.)
The radiator is completely sealed at the edges so that all air must pass through the grille. The air holes in the grille are smaller than those in the radiator.
If any foreign material passes through the grille, it should pass through the cooling fins in the radiator, preventing the fins from becoming plugged. This also helps to keep the fins of the radiator cleaned and prevents once circulated air from recirculating through the radiator.

When your Tractor is to be idle for an extended period of time, it should be properly prepared for storage.
Following are helpful suggestions for storing your MF Tractor:
1. Select a dry, protected place where the Tractor is not exposed to weather or livestock.
2. Thoroughly clean the Tractor and touch-up painted surfaces with genuine MF paint, available at your authorized MF Dealer in quarts, gallons and handy spray packs.
3. Lubricate all grease fittings with the proper type of pressure gun grease (see
''Lubrication'' section).
4. Drain engine crankcase and refill with a good quality engine oil possessing a rust inhibiting additive. Replace oil filter element.
5. Drain transmission and hydraulic system. Refill transmission and hydraulic system with eight gallons of special oil (see
''Lubrication" section), available only through your authorized MF Dealer.
6. With the hydraulic control levers, raise the hydraulic lift linkage to the transport position. The internal hydraulic cylinder will then be full of oil, thus preventing corrosion in the cylinder.
7. Remove the air filter element and clean. Refer to ''Servicing the Air Filter.''
8. Check power steering reservoir oil level and fill, if necessary.
9. Clean and repack front wheel bearings (see "Lubrication'' section).
10. Start engine and bring to normal operating temperature.
11. Drain and flush cooling system.
Fill with anti-freeze, using a suitable rust inhibitor.
12. Jack up Tractor and place it on sturdy blocks to remove weight from tires.
(Remove water ballast from tires, if calcium chloride was not used when filling with ballast.)
13. Inspect Tractor for worn or broken parts and replace, as necessary. Always use genuine MF parts.
14. Gas Models Only: a. Remove spark plugs and regap to 0.025". Before installing spark plugs, pour two tablespoons of SAE 30 motor oil in each spark plug hole. Crank engine over a few times, then reinstall spark plugs. b. Remove fuel tank sediment bowl and filter screen. Drain all fuel from tank and carburetor bowl by removing drain plug in bottom of c a r bu r et o r. Replace drain plug, filter screen and sediment bowl.
15. Diesel Models Only: a. Drain the agglomerator bowl on the fuel filter. b. Fill fuel tank with clean diesel fuel, adding a reputable brand of rust inhibiting oil. See oil manufacturer's directions for mixing instructions . c. "Air-bleed" the fuel system
(see "Servicing" section). d. Start engine and allow it to run until blue smoke appears out exhaust pipe, then shut off engine.
16. Remove battery and inspect its con dition. Store battery in a cool place, keeping it fully charged.
