Massey Ferguson 135 Value

In your area what would be the value of a Massey Ferguson 135. My father had one he bought new in the mid 60s. The sheet metal is excellent. Needs painting. My dad took real good care of it. It is a gas model. No live PTO. Good tires, practically new rears. Needs some tune up work. Steering is tight. He was so particular with it he kept the ball joints wrapped with greased rags. My dad was the type he never ran anything hard. Only time he would open it up was to break ground. Any help is very much appreciated.
 
We have a 135 and though it's not our biggest tractor, it is extremely nice to have around. We use it almost every day doing tasks that vary from regular field work to chores like moving hay and wagons for feeding livestock. If you have a use for it and can afford to keep it, you'll be glad that you did.
 
No live PTO? Are you sure? That drops the value a bunch. Tractors are made to work. It is better for them than just puttin around on. Just a guess on value but probably in the $2800/3500 range give or take. Can you post a picture? I've seen 135's with loaders for over $9000. Dave
 
Massey sold an economy version of the 135, meant to compete with the Ford 2000 (Regular version was more in line with 3000's) Most had a pan seat, no power steering, only very basic gauges, and a single stage clutch(non-live power) Later years of the 135, that option was dropped.

Gas generally sells for just a tick less than a diesel, but is still a very good tractor, and not too hard on gas consumption. Many people actually prefer gas on smaller tractors of that vintage.

Top of the line, fully decked out 135's in good shape (w/diesel, live power, power steering, ect) can bring anywhere from $4000 on up to $5500 (and in some rare cases, more) Knock off a few bucks for gas and a few more for lack of live power, and you're looking at $3200 to $3800. (on average, again, really nice ones can bring more)

Those are prices based on what they sell for around where I live. (Central Kentucky) YMMV

135's are VERY popular tractors. Great reputation.
 
Are you saying it has "no PTO" or that PTO is not live. Never ran across a MF-135 without live PTO. Are you sure that the clutch does not have the 2 stages built in? Have a picture? Tom
 
If you could post a picture it would help we would all like to see it . They are great tractors. Even on this site you wont find too many that would dissagree with that. Around here in the nj pa area It sounds like 3000 to 4000 range cant say exactly
 
Read my post below....Early production of 135's saw a 135 Deluxe and a 135 custom. The custom was an economy version with single stage clutch (no live power), pan seat, no tach or fuel gauge, and no power steering. I've got several MF product guides from the time period when 100 series were in production. LAst one with the 135 custom listed is 1966. The next one I have is 1969, and it doesn't list the custom. So somewhere between 66 and 69, the option was dropped and all had live power from then on.
 
my ford 2000 is a 1973 and most have been the economy model it has a pan seat , no power steering and a six speed trans, Good handy tractor though.
 
Lotta 2000's equipped that way. They also had a little less hp than the 3000. At first, when the 100 series MF's were introduced, they offered a 130. It turned out to be somewhat of a fiasco. The 135 custom was an attempt to put a tractor on the market that would compete with the 2000 in price. End result was, you got a 135 without some of the bells and whistles, costing roughly the same as a 2000, but having the same engine as a standard 135. That gave the 135 custom more hp than the 2000 it was competing against. If I remember correctly, as it's been quite a few years, the 135 custom was only about $400 or $500 less than a fully equipped 135 Deluxe. Most folks just went the extra bucks and bought the live power equipped 135's. I've seen a total of TWO 135 customs in the years since.
 
Is the 130 MF rare ? I never heard of it. Thats what I like so much about this site, it starts out with one question and a lot of interesting stuff comes up. Thanks for your info I always enjoy it.
 
This is the economy version of the 135. It has the pan seat, no tach, no live PTO. It is a good tight tractor. Can't do the picture thing right now.
 
12 tractors, a mix of Ferguson, Massey Ferguson, Deere, and IH. Also had a few Fords over the years. No certain brand loyalty, but I do like my old MF 150 more than the rest.
 
The 130 is pretty rare, because most of them have long since been junked. I had one for awhile (until I could pass it on to the next victim), and MF's reference to it being a fiasco was a kindness. Lousy hydraulic system etc., etc. A triumph in French engineering.

I sold it at a consignment auction, and happened to be within earshot when the proud buyer was showing it off to his wife. Then he saw the tag and said, "Made in France? Oh, $#&*%!"
 
130's are rare and difficult to get parts for. Probably the least desirable MF tractor except for a collector. Dave
 
2500 should put a bad hole in it. Keeping in mind that it's a gasoline engine and non-live PTO.... look around at what other similar size tractors with those features are selling for. Mabey your market is better, but here 2500-3000 is about the range, Massey or not.

My books (owner's manual and parts book) says the custom had a smaller Continental engine than the Deluxe. Z134 vs Z145.
