    MF 35 - Power steering setting the rack

    Hello all, While overhauling my engine for my MF-35 Diesel, I figured I would find out why my power steering wasn't working. I figured it had something to do with the cylinder. Loosened up the cylinder to take it off to look at it, then put some air to it and it is sealing and moving fine. I...

    3.152 Perkins Crank - OK or not?

    Thanks JD, I had found the same thing online. Still not exactly sure what the "S" in DSL of the serial number means, maybe one of the blokes who stamped the serial number got bored one day? This site has overhaul kits for this engine with a new crank for about $1100. Not sure what a used engine...

    3.152 Perkins Crank - OK or not?

    I agree, this engine was off of a 135, not a 35. The serial number points at a 135 engine, like you said the head and pistons point towards a 135. So I will be buying an overhaul kit for a 135 engine, NOT a 35 engine. An AD3.152

    3.152 Perkins Crank - OK or not?

    JD: I looked at the sleeves and found some visual damage - most of the engine overhaul kits come with sleeves - so it looks like new sleeves. I also did a price comparison of machining the crank with oversized bearings vs getting a new crank and regular bearings. They are about the same - so I...

I live in Robinson, IL (South-Eastern IL) so if there is anybody close just itching to put together a perkins engine - let me know, but in a pinch I do have some Mechanical friends that would help me out. I was pretty sure something had to be done with the...

    3.152 Perkins Crank - OK or not?

    Thank you all for the replies and suggestions. I do have a pic of one of the rod bearings. In replies to each: CraigWis: I figured it would need some help John Deere D: I don't have a micrometer, only a dial caliper. As for my experience - this is the 1st one I have overhauled and went...

    3.152 Perkins Crank - OK or not?

    I am overhauling my Perkins engine. It had a lot of blow by, so I figured it would need rings and sleeves. When I took the pistons out, I noticed some damage to the crank. I think I know the answer, but can anybody look at these pictures and tell me if the crank would be OK with new Rod...

    Chrome or Iron Liners? Flange .15 or .040? Perkins a3.152

    FullPullLarry, you started a great post here and I learned a lot. I am about to tear into a Perkins 3.152 in a Massey 35 due to blow-by. I won't order anything until I get it apart but want to ensure I understand what is meant by flange thickness. Some of the pictures in the post don't come up...

    MF-35 Perkins - Engine Information

    Hello all, I have a MF 35 with the Perkins Engine. There is a lot of blowby, coming out of the vent tube and oil bubbling out of the dipstick tube. So I am assuming the rings/cylinder sleeves are worn. This just started recently. It still starts up easily and runs OK but it is summer and will...
