    Diesel fuel leaking into engine oil

    Correct me if i'm wrong, and i am not trying to be a stickler here, but if it were the injectors themselves wouldn't the rings have to be really shot to allow enough fuel down to the case to see a noticeable increase im sump level, and if they leaked that much you would hydrauilicly lock the...

    diesel gas

    I can tell you dislike diesels. Who told you to do a timing belt at 40k? the manual i have says 60, and i replaced it at the time with one good for 80 more. Not sure, so don't get even more hostile sounding, but i think you might have a hard time finding a new car with a timing chain. I...

    diesel gas

    Wow, I have posted questions in the past and nary got a response, but in a couple hours to get this many comments it must be touchy. Of course i have realized that we have made several diesel vehicles over the years, however i believe that driven largely by the oil companies automakers might...

    MF 205 Diesel Oil Pressure Question?

    I don't know much about an adjustment for the pressure. My hunch is that if there is one it would be on the pump itself, which to get to would mean dropping the pan. In my opinion (which isn't worth much) if you were that far you might as well slide some new bearings in there anyway. Assuming...

    weight box

    My questions are two fold. Looking at trading an old set of tractor tire chains for a weight bucket for my mf40. Curious if anyone knows how heavy a gallon of cured cement weighs? Or further how heavy 55 gallons of it is? My guess is the bucket is around 800 lbs. The other thing is when i...

    after a 135 rebuild?

    I just finished my rebuild about 15 engine hours ago, so far everything is good, with the exception of the rear main seal, it leaks! The advice i was given by some of the engineers off the ship i work on, and some of the guys here was let her warm up slow and easy the first time, once up to...

    rear main seal

    Just sharing my woes, after putting way too much money, and lots and lots of my time into my mf40's perkins 3.152 diesel (i did a complete rebuild, everything except the timing gears were replaced) I have been bushogging for the past few days, the engine purrs like a kitten, which sounds...

    pivot pin/bushings

    Just changed the pin and bushings on my mf40 ind. Found that the keeper bolt that holds the axle in place was broken, so i am not sure that i am in trouble yet. However, the bushings are such a tight on the pin that i half expect them to spin in there housings. Any suggestions? The reason...

    loader/ 135 Fan

    Sorry that it took me so long to get back on here. Mine is odd. The loader looks just like the mf 34 loader, at least from pictures. The loader thati have could be older, as it is very very worn, but then again so is the tractor. I have the supposedly original owners manual which is for an...

    pins bushings

    Thank you for your response. My tractor is a bit of a misfit. It has what looks exactly like a 4 bar linkage mf32 loader, however the plate on the side says mf200. The mf40 was supposed to only come in the instant reverse, and shuttle shift, well, mine is a straight 6/2 manual tranny. Who knew...

    pins bushings

    Hello, two questions. I am replacing the forward pivot pin and bushings for in my mf40 ind. Just curious if you are just supposed to line up the hole in the bushing with the grease fitting connection, or is there supposed to be another fitting between the greasefitting and the bushing? Also...

    Let it run out of fuel

    If your fuel filter remained full, then go to the injection pump. Just forward of the injector connections on the pump you will find two set screws, one lower and one higher, nearly in line (this is what i have anyhow, on my mf40 but it has the ad3-152 diesel) first loosen the lower one, the...
