Massey Ferguson 135 Multipower Removing the Clutch and Flywheel

After splitting the mf135 multipower tractor I removed the clutch and flywheel for inspection and found the main clutch plate to have loose rivets. The flywheel and clutch surfaces are all good and serviceable.

G'day mate, It's just like I'm standing next to you and we talk about old tractors👍 Saturday morning, lighting up the wood stove, a cup of coffee and a Bundy Bear video while the shed I warming up, not so bad, now it's shed time. Cheers from Henning in the cold north😊

Thanks, It is getting hot over here so a cold drink will do here.

[@robbybachmann332]

Thanks for the clutch rivet lesson Lance. Your area too dry and out our area to wet, a difficult farming here in our part of Canada

[@BundyBearsShed]

It would be nice to have it somewhere between hot and wet eh.

New sub from the U.S.A. I enjoyed the video mate. Cheer,s.

Thanks Eddy

Have you yet been able to test the lip seal conversion kit? Wondering if it would be worth a try, since our MF 135 seems to need new crankshaft seals. It leaks alot of oil through the weep hole in the bellhousing.

[@BundyBearsShed]

No I have not had the need to use it, I hear they are working well though.

[@gerrygwilson2849]

Thank you sir

Welcome

Hi Lance, Many thanks for sharing your valuable experience and knowledge.. I am restoring a MF 135, and find your comments very informative. I purchased my tractor with a seized motor but otherwise it is very straight. I have the motor being repaired by a very good local engineer. The big ends had picked up but the crank came up nicely. I heard that there is an updated rear engine seal which a replacement for the wick seal. Is this true? Cheers Ross

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yes Quality Tractor Parts in Ireland sell them, I have some here but I havent had a chance to test them yet but by all accounts they are a good thing.

[@lloydjohnston5382]

maybe you should paint the heads of the bolts white they will be easier to notice for removal enjoy your videos I have 1959 ferguson 4 cyl myself hard to get parts here in CANADA

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yeah probably a good idea.

[@mariusadrian8412]

Hello again Lance,do you think a 12" flywheel would fit masey ferguson 835?thanks for the information.😅

[@BundyBearsShed]

Probably not

[@irishguy200007]

Lance, if a clutch is put back and the finger bolts are too far forward what can you do with it. Is there a reason they should be depressed forward. I presume they should be level with the clutch front at least but in the case I saw they were depressed far in or forward.

[@BundyBearsShed]

If the pivots are worn they go too far forward but the parts are readily available to replace the parts only and not the complete unit.

[@irishguy200007]

Are these the three small pins holding on the fingers?

[@murdogordon3091]

Do you think my clutch might be damaged as no transport bolts were used when it was removed and it was left lying on its fingers for a good few months?

[@BundyBearsShed]

Shouldnt be a problem at all.

[@murdogordon3091]

@@BundyBearsShed That's a relief. Thanks

[@darrellmullan6105]

What is the bolts size required for holding the clutch in before you remove the outer bolts if you could let me know be very much appreciated

[@BundyBearsShed]

They are 1/4 unc but not sure of the length

[@darrellmullan6105]

[@timboothman4888]

I notice a odd spring missing lance

[@BundyBearsShed]

G Day Tim, When they went to the heavy duty red springs they would change the number of springs to suit the HP of the tractor.

[@timboothman4888]

@@BundyBearsShed many thanks I put 6 reds in mine but it had 12 yellows in when I split it. Which is correct?

[@BundyBearsShed]

@@timboothman4888 both could be as the yellow springs had less tension so you needed more. The red you could use 6, 9 or 12 depending on the horse power but it got harder to press the pedal in as well on the smaller tractors.

[@joelard2716]

So what if you went gun-ho and didn't put the finger bolts in before removing the clutch.......I'm asking for a friend...

[@BundyBearsShed]

No big deal it would be fine

[@davidleesimpson]

Anybody know what the clutch bolt size and lengh are?

[@BundyBearsShed]

5/16" unc but I cant remember the length
