This will be the second winter for the old Massey, and though we've had out share of ups and downs, she has been a solid part of our farm since we bought her.
She's got some issues. Her carb leaks if she's not running, so we fixed that with a shut-off valve in the middle of the fuel line. Had to replace the starter, battery, spark plugs, wires, coil, breather, a few hoses, put new LED headlights on her, and it's time to replace the front tires as well.
She fires up everytime, and with the beauty of internet you find owners's manuals, and every how to video imaginable on YouTube, so I've felt like everything that's needed fixing was pretty straight forward. She's a simple machine, and that makes her even easier to trouble shoot. She's a bit too light in the front end to easily handle round bales, but for two years now we've managed to get the job done.
Overall, for the money, couldn't bee happier with the Massey Ferguson 135. Don't hesitate to buy one if you have the time and patience to do some work on them.
