I have one with lift problems and I always try to do as much work as I can myself. I think I have it figured out to 3 different possibilities but would really like to talk to someone who knows that wouldn't tear my head off just for information. Thanks.

I've never seen a 135 that the lift would stay up after the tractor was shut off, but I'm assuming that isn't your problem. Doesn't really take a whole lot of knowledge to know a lot about a MF135. My brother and I split ours and completely rebuilt the engine all by ourselves, with no help other than the manual. "You think I care? Roll Damn Tide" Have you tried Google?

After many busted knuckles I figured out that ain't true. Antisocial behavior is a trait of intelligence in a world of conformists....Tesla

I've got a good source that says 2 possibilities but didn't say how to fix it. 1.) control draft plunger sticking in pump 2.). rollers broken on control valve plunger at Pump. The lever to pump doesn't stay in constant contact with the screw on lift top lever. I know it's supposed to.

I have a pressure gauge on mine to monitor pump pressure. Grandma said...Always keep a gun close at hand, you just never know when you might run across some varmint that needs killing...

Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time. NRA Life Member
