Description
When your Massey Ferguson starts running rough, losing power, or blowing blue smoke, worn exhaust valves could be the culprit. The Massey Ferguson 135, 148, 240, and 550 tractors powered by Perkins AD3.152 engines were among the most successful and widely-used agricultural machines from the 1960s through 1980s. These reliable 45-horsepower tractors were the backbone of small to medium-scale farming operations worldwide, and keeping their valve train in good shape is essential for dependable operation. This TISCO exhaust valve gets your engine breathing properly again so you can focus on the work at hand.
What You’re Getting
- Quality replacement exhaust valve designed specifically for Perkins AD3-152 3-cylinder engines
- Precision-manufactured to handle the heat and pressure cycles of diesel combustion
- Proper valve face angle and stem dimensions for reliable sealing and smooth operation

Built for Real Farm Work
The MF 135, powered by reliable Perkins AD3.152 3-cylinder diesel or Continental gasoline engines delivering 45.5 horsepower, became one of the most popular tractors of its era with several hundred thousand units produced worldwide. These versatile utility tractors excel in diverse farming applications including cultivation, planting, mowing, hay production, livestock management, and general farm utility work. Whether you’re running a hay tedder, pulling a disc, or operating a loader, this valve keeps your engine running smooth through all the temperature changes and load variations that come with farm work.
Made to Last
Exhaust valves take serious punishment – they open and close thousands of times per hour while dealing with extremely hot exhaust gases. This valve is built with the proper metallurgy to handle that abuse without premature failure. The valve face and seat are precision-ground to ensure a tight seal that maintains compression and prevents hot gas blowby.
Installation Notes
This is a job for someone comfortable with valve train work – proper valve adjustment and timing are critical for engine performance. Clean the valve seat thoroughly and check for cracks or excessive wear before installing the new valve. Most experienced mechanics can handle this repair, but if you’re not familiar with valve work, this is a good time to have a shop do a complete valve job while everything’s apart.
