Is this one a rare model?

The Cab craft on my IH434 looks as if it was designed by a chimp, but on a cold winter day, it's still better than sitting in the open

how many of them do you want

what sort of money for a deacent 1135 in canada ?

1135 4000 uk pounds

Looking at the general condition, I'd keep her as she is. And definitely leave the cab on.
Far too many cabs are dumped from that period by 'cop out' restorations. All part of her history.

This seems a waste of a presentable tractor? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Massey-fe...K_BOI_FarmingEquipment_RL&hash=item259962eaff

definetly agree such a shame

@blackbob but on the plus side, it might go handy money?
The 1150 above looks to have the same cab as our neighbours 1135 had, back in the day?

I had to edit that post 5 times to make it look like English .............

A nice little Perkins would fit lovely, you reckon the brakes would be the weak link?
He says its not Multi-Power so its all good.

If we had any forum members in Zomerset

I wasn't championing it. Quite the opposite - it's a real shame than so many will 'cheat' and remove the cab. I like old tractors but going to the steam gathering to look at 50 cabless, concours MF 135s is pretty dull.

Whilst it's nice to see a few concourse condition tractors, personally I prefer them to look like they would have done on a farm. I've got a Ford Force 3000 that I'm working on getting back up and running and at every step I question whether what I'm doing is going to add to or detract from the uniqueness/history of the tractor. Likewise I have an early 135 that has had almost nothing done to it in its life (a clutch or two and a crown wheel if I recall correctly) - folk keep telling me to "restore" it - my answer is that it is totally true and original & still does the work it needs to do!

I agree completely. A good one to begin with will always trump a tarted up one

We try and keep them looking tidy and still working, if you let them slip to far its a long road back.
