The Massey Ferguson 135 is a 2WD, 3-cylinder, diesel tractor that was manufactured by Massey Ferguson between 1964 and 1975. It was the first of the MF100 range, and was a successor to the MF35. The MF135 was a popular tractor, and was used for a variety of tasks, including general farm work, cultivating, and pulling trailers.
The MF135 was powered by a 2.5L Perkins AD3.152 3-cylinder diesel engine that produced 45hp. It had a 6-speed transmission (3+1, high/low range) with a mechanical clutch. Later versions (1970 onwards) came with an 8 speed transmission (4 forward & 1 reverse across two ranges, high and low). There was a multi-power option giving 12 forward and 4 reverse gears, plus a hydraulic clutch.
It was built in the Banner Lane factory Coventry with the original design of rear 3 point rear linkage and plough draft control by Harry Ferguson.
The MF135 was a popular tractor, and was well-respected for its reliability and durability. It was also relatively inexpensive, which made it a good choice for farmers on a budget. The MF135 is still a popular tractor today, and is often used by enthusiasts and collectors.
This 1:76 replica comes in bright red with white roof and exhaust stack and black interior. The wheels are silver and the engine is coloured a blue grey. Note the Massey Ferguson 135 lettering along the sides above the engine and the Massey Ferguson marque on the front grille. The model will be a favourite for all the many farm model enthusiasts, young and old, for whom tractors hold a life-long fascination.

The original Massey Ferguson 135 tractor was produced by Massey Ferguson from 01/01/1964 until 31/12/1975. It is a two‑wheel‑drive, three‑cylinder diesel machine that succeeded the MF35 as the first member of the MF100 range. The tractor was widely used for general farm work, cultivating and pulling trailers.
Power was supplied by a 2.5 L Perkins AD3.152 three‑cylinder diesel engine delivering 45 hp. Early examples featured a six‑speed transmission (three forward plus one reverse, with high/low range) and a mechanical clutch. From 1970 onwards an eight‑speed unit (four forward and one reverse across two ranges) was offered, and a multi‑power option provided twelve forward and four reverse gears together with a hydraulic clutch. The tractor was built at the Banner Lane plant in Coventry and incorporated Harry Ferguson’s rear three‑point linkage and plough‑draft control.
The 1:76 replica reproduces the red colour scheme and key external details of the historic tractor, making it suitable for farm‑model enthusiasts, collectors and younger hobbyists who appreciate agricultural machinery.
