[AT] MF 135 Hydraulic Q.

[Cecil R Bearden]

The Massey Ferguson number is 1129A , same as IH HY-Tran and JD 303 
fluid.  Also AW 46 hydraulic oil.works fine also.   A MF can be checked 
either lift arms up or down if the fluid is at the top of the range on 
the stick at down, then it will be in the lower part at raised.
