Well folks, currently doing up the Perkins 4cyl turbo engine in an MF 4355. Engine was pressurising the sump etc and had a stuck ring so its getting new pistons, rings, liners etc. My question is what torque should the head studs on this engine be set to and also what order should they be...

Thanks

Well folks, currently doing up a round axle 135 and have had to get a new grille, it came in what i presume is just black primer, so has anyone here ever painted one before as i'm wondering what is the best paint to use and what is the best way to go about it Thanks

I know this forum thread hasn't been active in a while but gonna try and revive it lol, thanks to quarantine i'm now nearing the paint stage of the project but trying to sort a few minor issues first. One of which is that the steering box (which recieved a new top bearing) is making a loud click...

Thanks for the replies everyone I'm just wondering which bolts have Spring washers and which ones have flat washers and which hole to the screw into the retainer through

. So I was out tonight working on the 135 again and I came across a slight problem when trying to re-refit the rear split oil rope seal retainer, the new crankshaft is in and all the bearing caps, thrust washers etc. refitted and the new gasket on that goes between the block and the oil seal...

So, the story goes... Over the working life of this tractor it got to the stage where the oil pressure got low as the oil warned and thinned, but instead of the pressure problem getting fixed it was just overhauled once the lack of oil pressure induced bad wear in the parts (this happened...

Do you mean you've never heard of one being needed it actually just haven't seen one

I was close to doing that but I then found out it had been overhauled quite recently so I left it and if any problems occur I will do the the rest. Although I might still have the head of to replace the gaskets

A LOT of new parts bought there! New link arms, check chains, crankshaft, trunion pin, hoses, bushes, bearings, levelling arm, some gauges etc. Got the front axles bushes in tonight.

So I already have thread up about this tractor but I have another question I would like to ask; recently a new cable was fitted between the tacho (the gauge the displays the hours) and the engine block. Well, after the new cable was fitted the hour meter started recording hours again. But after...

Yes everything is sitting out in the order, just wondering do all the nuts and bolts on the bottom of the con-rods and the bolts that support crankshaft bearings etc. Need to go in the same place they came out or will they be ok in a different order

Well now the crankshafts out and the bearing all removed!

As far as I know they did not come with front linkage, there was an article in the Classic tractor (think it was the classic tractor) that said any front linkages were aftermarket

Well that's the engine removed and the clutch, flywheel and what not else taken off too! Happy new year everyone!!

Yes that's true! And they're still very capable machines well able to put in a good days work!

She'll look well when she's all painted up! I'll be fitting new bushes here there and everywhere on mine, everything is just so lose and wobbly

She doesn't look to bad, will it be a full nut & bolt restoration or just a tidy up and a lick of paint. Also, is there much mechanically wrong with her?

Yes the marks weren't rotated to the correct angle to see if they were lined up, so I just used a punch and lightly made to small marks at the correct place

Got the oil pump, water pump, oil filter, timing cover and some ancillaries off her today. Also got the blocks under her!
