My grandma had one of these back in 2006-2009ish, they where a hell of a tractor and very quick too. Great video brings back memories.

seeing your massey 135 brings back alot of good memories for me. it was the 1st ever tractor i drove when i was 11yrs old, also i learned to drive using the 135. :)

+Gerry Simpson they are certainly great little tractors. Really good to learn on

Richard, another great video. For a regularly used tractor it is in fantastic condition. I completly agree with you regards washing , repeated power washing and or spraying with traffic film remover or similar to break down the muck very soon damadges the paint and the rust bubbles start. If the paint underneath is sound then a layer of muck will do no harm. Cow muck is not road salt!!

+Paul F indeed you are right, if anything a thick layer of muck seals the tractor

love the 135 also the 690 had both, the 135 (67 model rebuilt in 82) out lived a BD 990 and a ford 4000 not kidding

The engines never been messed with it has the right tick

Good video

great small tractor

Love it. xx

Hi funkyfarmer. your 135 is a lot cleaner then my 135. My dad has 6 tractors 135,168,390,690,6180 and a 5480 and were going to get a 5455.

Awesome wee tractor will still be going strong when the rest have gave up! Spent some time on a 135 but much more time on its replacement an my 240 and it is still going strong! Was trying to work our Richard if that is a safety cab or just weather protection?

the tedders look nice on 135s

Nice video

Can you do a video on you using the 135 on over jobs eg doing some trailer work

Great looking tractor I own a Fordson Dexta do you have the Ferguson spaner that came with it or did they come only with the grey Fergie my seat flips up to works great if you don't have cab

nice ;) the seat tips up so that if he tractor didn't have a cab, the seat wouldn't get wet. It was a option on later te20's

+classicmasseyman - My take on it is that it tips so as to shelter the (invariably split) top-link boot and stop water getting into the box. And the penalty for forgetting is to get a wet backside - a very 1950s aide memoire 8-)=

You would know it was a 135 before you see it an iconic sound

Nice little utility (aka field mower, reassigned poop pusher) tractor. No front loader on this one?

A 135 was the first thing I ever drove, that one had a foot throttle though. Had 15 minutes training with that then got chucked on the 4 wheel steering kramer

my dad and my dads dad drove one

I was thinking of buying one of these but people tell me the it cant lift a ton which I need it to do and it doesnt have power steering which is a must when having a front end loader on it. Do you agree?

I'm just wondering for the unlike people. 135 is the best tractor ever made.

hmmm this one is actually a tiny bit different then my 135. Mine has 4 gears not 3, and H-L. Mine has no hydraulic spool either. I knew you could get them with the hydraulics, but the different trans is new to me. Mine is also a UK model not a US model. Your air cleaner may be different as well, I don't see a stack for it. And your gauges seem to work which is nice lol

Hi Richard, according to one of your fellow You Tubers they have more of a tendency to use these old tractors in Scandinavian areas and keep them going.I would have thought it was a win win situation, for a small farmer. There again i am a bit biassed.

Clean tractors? Have those people ever been near a actual farm? I've never seen clean tractors on any farm that has animals. Maybe on a grain or hay -only operation.
