connection on old MF135 tractor?


Curious. I don't recognize the MF135. Is this a garden tractor, like
I thought, or a big farm tractor? If the latter, are the front wheels
close together or as far apart as the rear tires.

I'm trying to imagine putting a garden tractor on a lift, or how to
lift a farm tractor with close-set front wheels. ...Aren't the engine
parts accesible without a lift?


I'm guessing it's a vintage Massey-Ferguson, not sure how big, though.
Generally accessability is pretty good, although some of the old
tractors had separate frames which might make accessability marginally
difficult. Can't remember which ones - most of my tractor experience
was with really old (i.e. WWII vintage) Farmalls, which simply used the
drivetrain as the main structural member.
