Mf 1135 Restoration

A brief overview of the work we carried out to completely restore this Canadian giant to its former glory. The tractor is a 1978 Massey Ferguson 1135. It features a 6cyl Perkins turbo charged, 130hp engine, driving through a 12 speed Multi-Power transmission. The 1135 was a popular choice for large farmers and contarctors during the late 70's and early 80's. With little competition in it's power bracket, they were a popular tractor and could be often seen powering trailed silage harvesters, or ploughing with 5 forrow semi-mounted ploughs. This particular MF 1135, spent the first few years of its life working in Co. Meath, then it was bought by a large arable farmer in Rathcoffey, Co. Kildare, where it was used as a front line tractor along with another identical machine the farm had bought new. It was then bought by the current owner, and used for general farm work, as well as contract bailing, mowing and other duties. Due to its low road speed, and dated technology, it was replaced by more modern John Deere tractors, and was left sitting in the back of a barn, facing an uncertian and somewhat boring future. After nearly 15 years of waiting patiently, it finally got the attention it deserved, from three eager enthusiasts, myself, MrFoxman360, mechanincal engineer, Vincenzolorenzo, and of course the Boss. Work started in mid January 2008. The tractor was completely stripped, checked, sand blasted and expertely resprayed, replacing many parts with genuine orignals and having the unavailable ones remanufactured to orignal spec, such as the roof, and interior decals. The tractor was finished on June 28th, in time for the annaul Hill Billy tractor run in Co. Wicklow, where the tractor made its debut, generating quite a bit of interest and causing quite a stir among spectators.
