Michael has sent a photo in of his clutch finger adjusting gauge.
As you can see, the tool is made from a length of aluminium box that is just the correct size so that a hex nut fits snugly inside it, but is not able to turn.
This is a great way to make a tool if […]
We’ve had lots of people asking if our Massey Ferguson 135 Clutch Guide is also relevant to the MF35 tractor, so here’s what you need to know…
The Perkins diesel powered MF35 and MF35X’s had the exact same 11″ dual clutch assembly as the early Massey Ferguson 135’s.
The MF135 we filmed in the MF135 Cutch Guide […]
OK, so here it is.
Vintage Tractor Engineer has been working on this for three months and we really believe this is our most comprehensive guide yet.
This guide is available to stream online to any and all of your devices. Alternatively you can download it to your laptop, tablet or smartphone to take with you into […]
Here at Vintage Tractor Engineer we’ve had an MF135 in the workshop this past couple of months.
It’s had a full engine rebuild and we’ve also been replacing the clutch plates and springs.
We’ve filmed a tutorial for how to do the work on the clutch and we will be making this available tomorrow. It is the […]

I have an MF135D Massey ferguson. It has a two stage clutch with 9″ & 11″ Discs. I know the 9″ disc clearance is .090″ and only need a feeler gauge. Adjusting the 11″ disc requires splitting the tractor. I have the factory manual and it shows how to make a gauge for […]
The clutch release bearing on the Fordson Dexta ( Ford Dexter ) is pre-lubricated and so should not require any maintenance during servicing. It may, however, require replacement if it does not run smoothly, there is excessive sideways movement or it is loose on the hub. If the bearing is in good condition, and as […]
