Description
When your old MF 135 or Leyland 245/253 starts making that telltale ticking sound from the exhaust manifold, it’s not just an annoyance – those cracks are letting dangerous fumes into your work area and robbing power when you need it most. This replacement manifold eliminates those leaks, restores quiet operation, and keeps carbon monoxide where it belongs – outside your breathing space.
What You’re Getting
- Direct replacement for old type MF 135 and Leyland 245/253 tractors with serial numbers above 117836
- Heavy cast iron construction designed to handle decades of heat cycling
- Precision-machined flanges that seal properly with new gaskets
- Compatible with your reliable AD3.152 three-cylinder diesel engine
Built for Real Farm Work
Your Massey Ferguson 135 or Leyland tractor with that dependable AD3.152 engine has been earning its keep for decades. These 45-horsepower workhorses handle everything from loader work to pasture mowing, but that exhaust manifold takes incredible abuse – heating to extreme temperatures then cooling down, thousands of times over the years. When manifolds crack around the ports, you lose power and fill your work area with dangerous exhaust gases.
Made to Last
This manifold is built from heavy cast iron that’s designed to handle the constant heat cycling that comes with farm work. The precision-machined surfaces ensure your gaskets seal properly and stay sealed, preventing the leaks that plague patched-up repairs. It’s the same quality construction that made these tractors famous for reliability.
Good to Know
Check your serial number first – this manifold is specifically for tractors above serial 117836, as earlier models used a different design. Installation typically takes a few hours, and those old studs can be stubborn after years of heat cycles. Apply penetrating oil well ahead of time, and consider the complete kit option if you want everything needed for a professional repair in one box.
