What is the advantage of a 135 compared to a 35 ?

[DeeGee]

Foot throttle, diff lock on nearly all 135's. More instruments, the AD.3 152 engine that only the 35X had producing 45 bhp. Twin toolboxes in the flat topped fenders that most 135's had, apart from some early round topped fender models.
The 135 was a crisper, newer and more usable tractor than the 35, that went on to become one of the best selling tractors of all time.

I prefere the 35s over the 135s i like both theyboth have their good points and bad
Cant beat a good fe grey gold either when running right.

I do agree there to have a tractor to work the 135 wins hands down

The 35x has the same engine as the 135 but is half a hp less at 44.5
The biggest difference between the two lies with the hydraulics.
Response control is on a separate quadrant, allowing the new pressure control to take it's place on the main hydraulic quadrant.
Pressure control brought greater traction with trailed implements, it was a brilliant function but seldom used- mainly due to apathy by drivers.

So do they all have pressure control?

it was an option on them not a standard fit

 

[Pennine Ploughing]

thought the 135 was 45.5 hp ? is that right

So how would i know if it has pressure control?

 

[superspec]

Pick up hitch and foot throttle are trivial, they can be easily fitted

Thats the real plus point to both 35 and 135 later parts can be made to fit, not the same story with the Grey fergie

Look at the quadrant, is it with or without pressure control?

35x is indirect injection 135 is direct

Just checked, yes you're right I was half a hp too light!

to work the position control lever, up or constant pumping is in the middle or rather back a little from center on a pressure control, and you move the lever back to drop the arms, and back to the middle for up, forward from constant pumping is pressure control,
on none pressure control, the lever is right back for up, and forward for down

I think the 690 has something about pressure control on the quadrant, i will have a look next time i see it

That's how the 690 is

yes and the injector pipes go in from the side on a direct injection, and in from the back on indirect injection as they enter the injector

 

[two-cylinder]

That's how the 690 is

A 135 without pressure control will have a quadrant similar to your early 398

I have used a 35, a 35X and a fleet of 135's. Any of the fleet of 135's were streets ahead of the 35 and 35X.
I still have a 35 and a 35X and there is so little between them it is not worth mentioning imo, and it was the same 40 years ago too (still got both)
Of the 35 and 35X we still have (and use very regularly) the 35 is probably the better of the two. It certainly starts better though neither are bad, both are 3 cylinder.

while on about the quadrant levers, the draft lever could be used in the up, hold down mode when using the likes of a front end loader, if you look on the draft quadrant rail, you will see 2 lines stamped into it, in between the lines was hold, just below was drop, and just above was up, the position lever would remain at the top all the time, but for this to work correctly, the internal linkage had to be spot on

Most 35x seems to need heat where a 3 cylinder 35 oftenr starts without any
