I'm no expert when it comes to working on engines. Your videos are just what I need to help me get my tractor in better working order. Thank you from Ontario.
Greatvideo....I know how hard it is to do the job let alone with a camera in the other hand. thanks alot you put me in the picture and saved me a lot of time.
@@FarmDad Same here. I have a US version MF135 vineyard model, Perkins diesel. I bought it in North East PA, Concord grape country over 20 years ago... now I use it in my own vineyard in NE Ohio.
@@FarmDad I went on your vid after a search pulled you up. I have a 1990 Massey 1045, with the tach bounce, seems to be running fine but my reading on the tach is twice what it should be, and it sounds as if a fan is running at idle. When I turn the tractor off I get a squeal! I think it’s the tach, 🤷♂️
Nice work Dad, that JB Weld might not release the cable very easy when it comes time to repair it properly though... Wonder if dipping the end in melted wax, or wrapping it with teflon tape would help it release better ? Maybe it will all hold up so long you will never need to find out : ]
any idea on a 61 mf 35 with the continental 4cyl gas engine? converted to a 12v alternator. Cant seem to find cable plug at the engine side. my cable was missing when I got it.
I have a z134 I believ gas continental engine. The tack cable runs out of the back of the generator. I’m unsure if my tech is original or not but the cable seems to be about 1’ longer than it needs to be. But it works.
I can't say how long it'll last but mine hasn't failed yet. You might get by without replacing the seal if you get yours apart with no damage and it looks good.
@@FarmDad well i hope that not to much is damged as it is broken since around 30 years. My father said he has brought it there to an specialist who fixed it but soon after that it broke again so he let it as it was. and the tractor has made now around 10000 hours (it is an mf 135)
The square end of the cable goes into a square end on that drive adapter. Since the drive adapter on mine was round instead of square, it didn't turn the cable when the engine was running, so the tach didn't work. The jb weld attached the end of the cable to the drive adapter so that it would turn when the cam turns. That's what fixed it.

Glad to hear it!
Brilliant! Better look at fixing mine on my Fergy 35. Greetings from Down Under (Australia)👍
My aunt used to live in Australia and she loved every minute of it. I regret not visiting her while she was there.
Thx for your video and others, really usefull for another rookie MF35 owner :)
Glad they help!
Lol thought i was going to fix this today and came out to a leaking carburator 🤥 now that has to get a cleaning 😅
Thanks for sharing, going to try that with my TO-35. Cheers
Most welcome. Hope it goes well.
Hi there friend, just checking in here 👍 you’re hair grew back fast 😉
Magic of TV 😂

Thank you- I'll be checking out my MF135 tomorrow!
I love mf135 tractors.

@@gregoryjohns9537 that's a good one! Wish they made new tractors that good.
Welldone,
Just I was looking for.
Mine is leaking oil around where it screws in to the engine.
Many thanks
Glad you found this helpful!
That was a cheap and good fix
Glad you think so. Appreciate you.
Nice tractor and 57. Liked and Subscribed, Dave.
I appreciate you!

I figure I shouldn't have to replace it until the jbweld has already released the cable.
What is the small handle in front of your sterling wheel. I have one on mine but not hooked to anything thks
I have it on mine also. I believe it is a small little lamp for the tachometer.

nice video just 2 questions:
how long does that fixing lasts
and do i need to replace the seal
I can't say how long it'll last but mine hasn't failed yet. You might get by without replacing the seal if you get yours apart with no damage and it looks good.
@@FarmDad well idk what is wrong as i have not taken it apart yet i only know it is not working

@@christian9125abd just got to get it apart and see. Good luck!
@@FarmDad thanks
What year is this tractor and is it a diesel? My 35 and my dad's 50 both have the tachometer cable going to the back of the generator.
1960 with perkins Diesel. I think the gas burners used the generator for the tach
The gear would not turn!! So how did jb weld free it up?? I do not understand this . I must be missing something.
The square end of the cable goes into a square end on that drive adapter. Since the drive adapter on mine was round instead of square, it didn't turn the cable when the engine was running, so the tach didn't work. The jb weld attached the end of the cable to the drive adapter so that it would turn when the cam turns. That's what fixed it.
What if when you spin the cable, the tachometer just spins around in circles?
I'd buy a new tach.
@@FarmDad Yeah. My tach head is definitely shot. Wish it wasn't so. They're way too expensive.
