The Massey Ferguson 135 was an all-purpose farming tractor manufactured in the middle 1950s. The company was bought out by AGCO in 1994. The clutch on the Massey Ferguson is used as part of the tractor's manual transmission. Like the clutch on a car, the 135 clutch is pushed in while shifting the tractor from gear to gear. If the resistance of the clutch begins to dissipate over time, the clutch may need to be adjusted. Always try adjusting a clutch before replacing it outright.
