I also am curious if all 135's have the gear shift pattern cast into the rear housing? Mine does not have the shift pattern cast into it. I am now looking at an orchard version with the beefy rear axle, straight front, and 8 spd. I also like the idea that they can be pull-started as opposed to the multipower version. The reason I selected the Multipower was because of the low bottom speed for tilling, but if the others are close, I am told that they (6spd, 8spd) are more reliable. I think that the multipower is 1.2 mph in the lowest range but I can't confirm that, and I have no idea on the others at all. I was just curious what the travel speed in the lowest range and lowest gear of all of the transmission configurations would be (6spd, 8spd, and Multipower). I started it today in 19 degree weather with no issues (like a gasser) and plowed snow for 2 hours. I am impressed with how easily the little perkins starts up and how well it runs. I purchased a 1967 MF 135 not too long ago, and I absolutely love it aside from a few small issues (leaking oil pan and wiring).
