This video helped me because in the morning I have to put a new starter on my Ferguson 135 and a new ignition harness thanx for the help I'm not very mechanical.
Nice to find this here, starter motor on my fathers beloved 135 just packed in so have one on order and will be using tbis as a reference when attempting to change it myself . Thanks for posting, great work
Damned good job, it's starting now like when it first rolled off the production line, I've only just seen this second part and was going to sudgest the mystery wire was from the glow plug but realise you've sorted it. I would personally get the old starter reconditioned so you can keep it as a spare, I had one done recently for £60 so worth doing.
Thanks for the video and good job. I watched it as a review, in that I haven't changed a started since about 2000 and that was on a MF 165. The one I'm doing today is a MF 265. Hope all is well for you and your family. V/R, Rich Martindell New Castle, Virginia
Looks like you picked up on the one hint I was going to post to part 1: when the bolt is finger loose, but in a hard place to reach, set the ratchet head aside and use the extension and socket like a long nutdriver.
Hi Rich you did just fine, from a mechanics point of view. You even got the reference to the ancient art of reproduction in a hot place for that 3rd bolt right in part 1 L.O.L. You'd be surprised at the amount of different 3 bolt starters I've changed over the years, where that back awkward bolts missing from a previous repair. I do some that need a short 3/8 drive socket, a universal joint adapter and 3 ft of extensions with the ratchet to get them out!. Thanks for all the great video's from the farm and home. I hope things go good at Christmas and into the new year to. Regards Robert
always disconnect the earth cable first and reconnect last, if you touch a spanner between live and any metal work whilst the earth is still connected, it will heat the spanner up and blow the battery up!! maybe the wire is for the inlet manifold heater. best of luck you might need it in the coming months.
Richard, By your own admission you may not be an expert but at least you are willing to get in there and have a go. As the old saying goes farmers are Jacks of all trades. We may not be masters of everything but we do get in there and have a go, Always enjoy your repair videos, Well Done. Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to you and your family.
I think the spare wire is a earth that attaches to the fuel pump above the starter motor. In the first vid you can see it going upwards, it does go to the starter motor. I think yo pulled it out while pulling the other wires out the way.
Any suggestions on how to remove the inside bolt of starter on a M F 390T tractor, Bolt is right up against the starter and not even room for a socket, l would appreciate any help

Thanks. If i can do it anyone can as i'm not a skilled mechanic
I'm always watching your videos every day I would love to be a farmer
For not being a mechanic I think you did a good job Richard. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your Family.

Hope it goes well, if i remember correctly the 265 starter is very similar to fit
Very good video

Hi RichardThat black wire goes on to the flame heater, directly over the fuel lift pump.Its of no importance. Really enjoy your great channel

Thanks Robert. That back bolt is indeed a $£%%£££*. Merry xmas to you
I'm proud of you Richard I think that the air might have been a bit blue if I was doing a job like that LOL.
Cheers

Thanks. Just checked, you are right, its the wire to the glowplug
Richard, check your fuel gauge as when you tried it the gauge didn't move, though you may be low on diesel !!

Thank you. You are right we are jack of all trades. I don't think many people realise that
the starter motors gone on my tractor. I have that still to sort out. such a pain
Your pretty much doing a full restoration on that little tractor hahaha, every video I've seen of yours in my feed is you fixing that 135.
seems a bit like that
heater plug wire?
I think the spare wire is a earth that attaches to the fuel pump above the starter motor. In the first vid you can see it going upwards, it does go to the starter motor. I think yo pulled it out while pulling the other wires out the way.
It doesn't attach to the starter motor
Thanks. Just checked, its the wire to the glowplug
I was just going to say before starting take the tools off......oh well :)
May have been a earth for the glowplugs or something around that area
just above the lift pump is the glow plug on the inlet manifold with perkins sticker on it is that connected
Thanks. Just checked, you are right, its the wire to the glowplug
went to assm right above starter
Any suggestions on how to remove the inside bolt of starter on a M F 390T tractor, Bolt is right up against the starter and not even room for a socket, l would appreciate any help
sorry Tim i I don't know
Do a video of jack and Harry on there toy farm.
No need to apologise to any mechanics. You did just fine.

Unrelated to this video but where did you get the first copy of your book printed (for your parents)
I used a website called Blurb
