[QUOTE="Ray, post: 6344810, member: 443"] The 3000 has the same dry shoe brakes as the 135 and shares the same front axle pivots as cranked axle 135's too. Must admit 135 and 3000 alike don't have the best braking system but one's no better than the other. It is indeed true Ford have had porous block issues, but this isn't so common with the 3000. The AD3.152 Perkins in the 135 can also have the parallel liners drop resulting in head gasket failures, I've replaced liners in these a few times in the past because of this very problem, so all makes and models aren't without fault. Make no mistake I do think a 135 is the better tractor as we have both here to compare, but given the choice of a nice clean tidy 3000 or a dog rough ex scraper 135 I know which I'd be buying for the money.
