Massey Ferguson 135 Cleaning Questions

How to Clean Rotor Cap 135 Massey Ferguson

Most tractor owners clean their rotor caps with sandpaper. There is nothing complicated or wrong with cleaning a Massey Ferguson 135 rotor cap, though there are some things that you also need to be wary of. For one, note that a cap comes with coatings that are found on the electrodes. The purpose of this is to retard the formation of deposit and oxidation.

You may expect though that you may not be able to expect the same service life from a cleaned cap as what you would expect out of a new one. Still, a cleaned rotor cap will work just fine. Here are the steps to follow:

  1. Locate the rotor cap and plug the cables out 
  2. Remove the cap. This can be done by unscrewing the two screws located on each side of the cap, releasing them by gently pulling them up.
  3. Use a soft abrasive rub piece to clean the terminals. This will remove buildups of carbon or oxidation. 
  4. Spray on some contact cleaner to the internal contacts of the cap.
  5. Dry out the rotor cap.

After cleaning, you can assemble it right back by putting the cleaned rotor back in place. 

 

How to Get Air Out of Diesel Lines and Pump on 1975 Massey Ferguson 135 Diesel

Even though conventional tune-ups are not really needed for this diesel engine, fuel filter maintenance is vital for proper operation, especially with the injection system. After changing both fuel filters, it is most likely that air has already gone inside the fuel system, which means that the filter, as well as the fuel system, should be bled to make sure that the engine will properly run. 

  1. Twist the valve that is located on the fuel petcock that can be found at the fuel tank bottom clockwise to turn the fuel supply to the engine off. 
  2. Prepare a drain pan beneath the fuel filters on the left side of the engine. Then, loosen the thumb nuts on the screws located beneath both the housings of the fuel filter, and simply allow the fuel in the housing to completely drain to the pan. 
  3. Open fuel petcock and wait until the filter housings are filled. Then, move the lever to the side back and forth manually until fuel leaks out below the housings. Tighten the screws by hand.
  4. Loosen the screw located on the lower side of the fuel injector pump using a wrench. Then, the lever should be moved back and forth until fuel comes out, tightening the screw back after 
  5. Loosen the screw on the upper side, repeating the same process with the lower part. 
  6. Loosen the diesel line that is located on the fuel injector to the nearest cylinder on the firewall using a wrench. You can then turn over the engine as the engine starts, and tighten the fuel injector line after noticing that fuel is seeping out.
