    1976 MF40 Industrial w/ Perkins AD3.152 Diesel

    Rebuilding this engine and wondered if there is a block sealer I can use under the sleeves. I noticed when I got the old sleeves out what appears to be small cracks in the water jacket of #1 cyl. No problem before of coolant in the oil. Just want to make sure all this work ..... works! Thank you...

    MF40 AD3.152 Oil Pan Removal

    I have overhauled other diesel engines. This is the first perkins. Having nothing but problems finding the correct parts. Pre-1978, actually out of a 1976 model MF40. I operated this same model for my dad back in the 70's-80's. My first tractor was a new MF40B that had a bad torque converter so...

    MF40 AD3.152 Oil Pan Removal

    I did, and that's what I missed initially. Really long 3/8" bolts way up inside a cavity on either side up against the bell housing. Engine is out and I'm rebuilding it.

    MF 40 New pistons hitting valves!

    They are the same, as most AD3.152's are. The pistons came together in a set with the rebuild kit from England. I think the most likely scenario is that I ordered the wrong set due to the fact that the preceding letters in my serial number are missing so it's nearly impossible to know what I...

    MF 40 New pistons hitting valves!

    I don't see any signs that the block has been 'decked'. The sleeves have a land at the ytop that fits into a groove, so any decking would require that to be re-milled. Not likely. The head is new. Thank you for your input.

    Engine I.D.

    Thank you for your input but that doesn't address the lack of preceding letters in my stamped serial #. You failed to mention that the pistons, fuel injector and various other parts are not the same on all AD3.152 engines. My concern is pistons, which are a bit different in each species of...

    Engine I.D.

    I'm referring to the stamped serial number just below the intake. Not concerned with the name plate, which is present. Thank you!

    Engine I.D.

    I have a MF40 w/ AD3.152 3cyl. diesel. The stamped serial #'s do not have any letters preceding the #'s. The manual calls for CD,CE,CJ,CM, orCN. None of these appear on my engine. This is a problem because I need engine parts! I know what engine family it is but the species is not obvious. Any...

    MF 40 New pistons hitting valves!

    Thank you. What I found is that all three pistons are 0.016 in. HIGHER than the block! I'm taking them to a machine shop and have the tops milled down. They all sit higher than the new sleeves I installed. Anyways, measure I did and thank you ptfarmer for your advice.

    MF 40 New pistons hitting valves!

    Rebuilding a Perkins AD3.152 in my MF 40. New head, pistons, rings, rod bearings. #3 piston is hitting the exhaust valve and locks the engine. It's on a stand so no damage. I'm thinking take the pistons out and have the tops ground down a tad. Any thoughts on that?? Thanks in advance. I'll...

    MF40 AD3.152 Oil Pan Removal

    I decided to remove the front end because I wasn't getting anywhere with that pan. Now that's done, the pan still will not budge. Can't figure this out. The shop manual I have does not address this at all so I'm at a loss as to is there a bolt or two up inside the bell housing? Anyway, as long...

    MF40=Perkins AD3.152 Engine Serial Number

    Trying to figure out which configuration engine I have so I can get some parts. The shop manual numbers are nothing like what I find in the area they're supposed to be, flat near fuel lift pump. Any help? There is a casting number on the L side of the block. I have included pictures of both...
