    1965 MF 2135 Continental Z134 with Shuttle Shift trany

    I wish to do a follow up on my query on this thread: I was able to get the engine of my MF 2135 with the Continental Z134 engine to rotate. It is now rotating the full 360 degrees. The culprit? There was some corrosion in the top of the four cylinders that was acting as the hard stop. I...

    MF 2135 w/Z134 once seized engine; now a hard stop precl

    So a spun bearing would allow some rotation but not a complete revolution? But the problem could also be in the front end with the timing chain/governor assembly. Im waiting for some input from those whove experienced a governor failure where the ball bearings come loose from their cage...

    MF 2135 w/Z134 once seized engine; now a hard stop precl

    Rotorwing90 said: With the head off, I can observe all 4 pistons moving up and down as cranks is rotated, until the 5-10 degrees and the hard stop is encountered. This is why Im thinking the obstruction is not in the bottom end but in the camshaft assembly. And unless advised otherwise, Im in...

    MF 2135 w/Z134 once seized engine; now a hard stop precl

    Bob N.Y.- 1) Thanks for taking the time to reply. I really am grateful. 2) Yes, with the head off, I can observe all 4 pistons moving up and down, as far as the hard stop will allow. Dennis from the Texas Panhandle

    MF 2135 w/Z134 once seized engine; now a hard stop precl

    1965 MF 2135 with Continental Z134 with Shuttle Shift transmission: A once seized engine now has a hard stop after a 5-10 degree rotation. 1. My shop manual has not arrived as of yet so I seek the wisdom of a kind/generous soul or two. 2. In the process of unseizing the engine, a hard stop was...

    1965 MF 2135 Continental Z134 with Shuttle Shift trany

    Continuing the effort to be able to turn this engine over a complete revolution, Im keeping anyone who cares and who maybe has an inkling of this particular tractor system apprised so that maybe I can pick up a snippet of information to get this tractor running. I hope someone here can help lead...

    1965 MF 2135 Continental Z134 with Shuttle Shift trany

    Im at it again tonight. There is definitely some obstruction. I just pulled the rocker arms, thus freeing the valves. There is still an obstruction. The engine is rotating very easily now but only for the 5-10 degrees. And then it hits this obstruction. I can hear the engine hit the obstruction...

    1965 MF 2135 Continental Z134 with Shuttle Shift trany

    1) I just pulled the valve cover. All valves appear to be in their proper positions (none appear to have dropped down into a cylinder to produce an obstruction) which would keep the engine from fully rotating. 2) I really dont want to keep tearing this engine apart looking for the obstructing...

    1965 MF 2135 Continental Z134 with Shuttle Shift trany

    Used Red MN, et al- Update: I was able to get the engine to start to rotate today. But only about 5 degrees until the rotating effort comes up against a stop. And then I can rotate it back the opposite way and hit a stop. Im moving the engine with a prybar through the starter access hole to the...
